Chapter 4 Application Deployment
After your application has been tested and is ready to go, it’s time to deliver the Network Enabler with
your software. In this chapter, we offer several useful tips and tools that let you organize the production
process efficiently.
Changing Default Settings for Multiple Network Enablers
The default settings for Network Enabler may be different from the settings you want to use when
shipping the product to your customers. To make the job easier, SDK Manager can be used to change
multiple Network Enabler settings, all at the same time. The main procedure is as follows:
1. First, connect all Network Enablers and the host computer to the same Ethernet hub or switch.
2. Start SDK Manager, and use Broadcast Search to search all Network Enablers. All of the Network
Enablers connected to the hub or switch should appear in the SDK Manager window.
3. Enter the configuration menu, and change each field under each tab to the desired settings.
Creating System Firmware—EXE2FRM
In general, the AP file is downloaded to
the Network Enabler separate from the
kernel. However, NE SDK provides you
with another advanced tool, EXE2FRM,
that is used to merge the kernel and AP
file into a system firmware file. In this
way, product delivery is made easier, and
furthermore, the quality of the software
is assured.
The EXE2FRM program can be found in
the .\UTILITY\EXE2FRM directory. For
easy access, simply create a shortcut on
your desktop to the EXE2FRM program.
After starting the EXE2FRM program,
the window shown at the right will
appear.
To generate a system firmware file, you will need to input the Private Key, original EXE file, and Kernel
file. The kernel file can be found in .\FIRMWARE. After entering the above information, enter a file
name for the generated System Firmware file. To download the System Firmware, open SDK Manager
and locate the target Network Enabler, and then select Download System Firmware under the Actions
menu, or click on the Download System Firmware toolbar icon.
