IP address 169.254.111.111. This address is in the address area reserved for local networks not connected to the Internet. For direct connection between the PC and the Toolkit, a crossover Ethernet cable is required. The yellow Ethernet cable pro- vided with the Toolkit is a crossover cable. AVR461 2499B–AVR–05/02...

Choose to Specify an IP address as shown in Figure 4. • Insert the IP address 169.254.111.150 and the corresponding subnet mask as shown in Figure 4. • Save your settings by pressing OK in both TCP/IP properties and Network properties. • Reboot your PC. AVR461 2499B–AVR–05/02...
AVR461 The PC is Connected In If there is an Ethernet network available (see Figure 5), the Embedded Internet Toolkit can be connected to any Ethernet connection or hub belonging to the network. If the PC Network is connected to a network, there is a strong possibility that the default IP address of the Toolkit is outside the range of the network (the address doesn’t belong to the IP subset...

AVR461 Installing the Web The Embedded Internet Toolkit includes software for configuring the Toolkit. For a com- plete description of the configuration settings, please see the AVR Web Server Server Terminal documentation. Software The web server terminal software is included on the CD-ROM provided with the Toolkit.
Internet Toolkit. When clicking the Ping choice in the Tools menu, the program will ping the address currently in the IP Address field, and display the result in a DOS window. For an explanation of the ping responses, please see “Setting Up and Testing the Ether- net Connection” on page 2. AVR461 2499B–AVR–05/02...
AVR461 Web Browser If Internet Explorer is installed on the PC, the web server terminal can be used as a web browser. Simply click the View menu and then web browser to display the web contents of the address specified in the IP Address field.

This example explains how to use the IAR compiler for compiling the files to build a hex file for downloading into the Internet Toolkit. For new users of the IAR C-compiler, it is recommended to complete the tutorial included in the C-compiler documentation. Figure 11. Files Included in the Full Configuration AVR461 2499B–AVR–05/02...
AVR461 Figure 12. Setting Output File Format Figure 11 shows the files an IAR project including all the files necessary to use all soft- ware modules. To save code space, unused modules may be removed. The code size for the modules included in Figure 7 is approximately 30 Kbytes with maximum size compression.
Formatting the File To format the file system of the EIT Dataflash, short-circuit pins 1 and 2 of the Expan- sion Port header on the EIT while resetting it. System Figure 13. Specifying Linker File AVR461 2499B–AVR–05/02...
AVR461 Trouble-shooting To be used with the Embedded Internet Quick Start Guide, which describes how to con- nect the Embedded Internet Toolkit, plus the use of FTP and web browsers. guide Table 1. Troubleshooting Guide Checkpoint Solution No network connection is detected. The Ethernet cable is either not plugged in or wrong type of cable is used.
