Newsgroups: comp.sys.transputer From: Mark Booth Subject: Extracting expected configuration from transputer bootable files. Organization: Oxford Intelligent Machines Ltd Date: Tue, 5 May 1998 19:53:53 +0100 Mime-Version: 1.0 Message-ID: Hiyas peoples, Is it possible to extract the expected transputer network configuration data out of a .btl file? Ideally I would like to be able to feed a .btl file into a program and have something which looks like an ispy/rspy map be produced. Ie I would like to see the expected processors and the expected link configurations between them. The reason I want this is that I have a number of btl files for which I have no source/configuration files and I would like to build a C004 configuration program for them. Also I have a system which is likely to be physically reconfigured often in the near future, thus there are likely to be many builds of the software for all these hardware configurations. Thus I would like to be able to easily check how the current hardware (as detected by rspy) compares with the configuration expected by the btl file. Please reply to c.s.t if you can help, I dont mind being emailed copies though. Thanks in advance for your help, Mark......... -- Mark Booth (markb@oxim.demon.co.uk) -------------------------------------------------- Oxford Intelligent Machines Ltd, Oxford, UK.
