No, PMAC does not store the source code for code which is compiled (i.e. compiled PLCs or open servo algorithms).

 

Forgive me, but when I compile my code I see in the build feedback "Downloading x.c to power pmac". This leads me to believe that the source is uploaded to the pmac and then is compile onboard. I apologize if this is a dumb question or and RTFM answer.

If you are asking about C Language source code in the Power PMAC then yes this is possible. In the Properties page for the project (right-mouse click and select properties) under “Power PMAC project general properties” there is a switch to select “Download C Source Files”.

 

The C-code is compiled on the PC using a cross compiler. The object code is sent to the PMAC.

Wonderful! Thanks! After I set this, where would the source code be located on the PMAC?

Upon download the files are stored in the project folder in volatile ram at “/var/ftp/usrflash/Project/” with the same folder structure as the project on the PC. The object code is also there (the .ko, .so and .out files).

 

After a “save” command they are stored in flash memory at”/opt/ppmac/usrflash/Project/”.

I have run across a PMAC VME system in which the owner can only supply a *.PP file -- Can the source code be extracted from this file?

 

Thanks

 

The file type you describe, "*.PP" does not conform to any of the "saved configuration" file types used by Delta Tau software.

 

For further assistance please email the file to support@deltatau.com for evaluation.
