Installing h8comm

By now, I confirmed to work h8comm only with Linux, but may be easily ported to other UNIX like platform. It also ported to Cygwin32, but it remains incomplete.

Files

List of files in this package is:

NEWS, README, TODO, INSTALL, ChangeLog, COPYING: Simple documents
Makefile.in, configure.in, config.guess, config.sub: Scripts for compiling and installing
config.h: Configuration file ( Normally, it's no need to modify )
doc: Concise documents in HTML format
docsrc: source file for doc
h8comm.c: h8comm program
h8prog.S h8crt0.S writebyte.S h83048addr.h: Bootstrap program of H8/3048
romsmpl.c: Sample source program for H8/3048

Configuration

Some configurable information is in config.h. It's no need to modify, because they may be specified at command line.

DEFAULT_BOOTSTRAP_FILE: File name of bootstrap writer program for H8/3048F
PROGNAME: Program name (=h8comm)
DEFAULT_DEVICE: Default device of serial port

Compilation

It is compiled by `configure' and `make'. Perhaps further explanation is not needed.

Usage

See h8comm manual.

Notice about using h8comm with Cygwin32

To abort `h8comm' , you must terminate it manually. In Linux, the serial port device used by `h8comm' is automatically closed, but in Windows, (of course!) such a nice feature is not implemented. You must reboot Windows each time you abort `h8comm' by Task Manager.

Perhaps I will no fix this problem.
