Fun with XC-2 network
Posted: Wed May 19, 2010 11:24 pm
Today I received five brand new XC-2 boards and created a sweet little network consisting of six XC-2 boards. (The sixth board is not shown in the picture)
Everything works great but I soon realized that managing six XTAGs (running code / flashing) is somewhat tiresome to do manually. ;)
I had to create a tool to automatically execute xrun/xflash targeting each board in sequence. It takes about 20 seconds to xrun all boards.
I tried to program the boards in parallel but that did not work well. Most of the time four or five out of the six xrun processes crashed so I guess it's not supported. :D
