Memory share between PowerPMAC Script Language and application on Linux

[george.kontogiorgos]

Hello

 

I would like to know if there is a way to share variables (e.g. Global Variables) between PowerPMAC Script Language and embedded Linux on controller.

 

Actually, I was unsuccessfully trying to create a C program and compile it with GCC to access the content of a Global Variable address as the example as follows:

 

#include 
#include 

int main()
{
 int * pointer;

 pointer = 0xa9304b20;

 printf("%d\n", *pointer);

 return 0;
}

 

Where

 

Sys.P[100]=$a9304b20

 

The program crashed by Segmentation Fault error and I'm searching for new ways to access these variables on the memory by Linux.

This would be very complicated if the program is compiled outside of the IDE.

 

This could be done easily with a background C Application ("C Language" -> "Background Programs" -> "capp1"). Just declare a gobal variable in script and use it as a double in C. Printf statements will be visible over SSH.

 

To call the program.

From IDE Terminal/GPASCII:
system /var/ftp/usrflash/Project/C\ Language/Background\ Programs/capp1.out
From Script PLCs/Motion Programs:
system "/var/ftp/usrflash/Project/C\ Language/Background\ Programs/capp1.out“

Eric,

 

I think that your suggestion fits on my application for now.

 

Thanks.
