Initialization and Configuration of TINI & Java Communications API for Real-Time Embedded Networked Applications

Vincent A. Akpan, Reginald O A Osakwe

Abstract


This article addresses the challenges in installing, initializing and configuring TINI for real-time embedded networked applications. A simple technique for installing Java communications API for accessing communication ports for direct interfacing to legacy systems as well as an efficient technique for the initialization and configuration of the TINI’s serial and Ethernet ports for real-time online datalogging capabilities over a network are presented. The techniques proposed in this article are implemented to demonstrate and validate the proposed schemes. Finally, all the Java programs developed to implement and demonstrate all the techniques proposed in this article are presented.
