How to create a "Hello SCU" FESA-Class?

Note: Most of this is obsolete with FESA 7.x

Prerequisite: Eclipse with FESA-Plugin installed

Aim: Create a minimum GSI-FESA-Class Project with a deploy unit and an instance file. The instance is configured to run in mixed mode and can be deployed and run on a SCU for testing.

Not covered: Nothing will be checked in to SVN and no DB entries will be made, no timing will be used

Works with: FESA 5.0.2, Eclipse plugin 2.9.9, (01.04.2019)

• Create new projects:
  • New -> FESA Class project (dont share project in repository)
    • GSIClass Template & create default deploy-unit project
• scheduling unit (design)
  • rt-wizard (my_locigal_event (timer), My_rt_action, My_scheduling_unit)
  • validate
  • synchronize
• more scheduling unit (deploy)
  • add child -> scheduler
  • scheduler -> concurrency-layer -> scheduling-unit -> scheduling-unit-ref = CLASSNAME::My_scheduling_unit
  • scheduler -> concurrency-layer -> name = my_concurrency_layer
• set mixed-modex (deploy)
  • executable remove -> server
  • executable add child -> mixed
  • validate
  • synchronize
• create FEC (deploy)
  • add FEC (keep "create instance for this FEC" checked and Timing network = NONE)
• configure instance (instance)
  • classes->CLASSNAME->device-instance->name = my_instance
  • classes->CLASSNAME->events-mapping->my_logical_event->event_configuration-> name = my_event_config
  • check that classes->CLASSNAME->events-mapping->my_logical_event->event-configuration->Timer->timer-event->period is not 0 !!
  • clases->CLASSNAME->device-instance->events-mapping->my_logical_event->event-configuration-ref->name = my_event_config
• optional: edit src/CLASSNAME/RealTime/My_rt_action.cpp to do something
• first release
  • dont check in to SVN: eclipse->window->preferences->FESA->Expert->DeliveryOptions->Dont check source code repository
  • Make Targets->CLASSNAME->all
  • Make Targets->CLASSNAME_DU->all
  • deploy unit -> release
• run
  • execute start_manually..

If the deploy target is not a standard scu (eg vmla014):

• edit the start script
  • go to cd /common/export/fesa/local/vmla014/CLASSNAME_DU/
  • emacs startManually_DEPLOYUNITNAME_M.sh
    • CONFIG_PATH=${SCRIPTPATH}
    • INSTANCE=${SCRIPTPATH}/${DU_NAME}.instance
    • BINARY=${SCRIPTPATH}/${DU_NAME}${EXEC_APPENDIX} or without $(EXEC_APPENDIX}
    • FESA_CFG=${CONFIG_PATH}/fesa.cfg
    • export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=${SCRIPTPATH}/lib/:${LD_LIBRARY_PATH:+:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH}
    • ARGUMENTS = " ...... -noRTSched"
  • prevent overwriting on next deploy: mv startManually_DEPLOYUNITNAME_M.sh startXManually_DEPLOYUNITNAME_M.sh
  • "manual deploy" : scp * vmla014:/home/directory where to put the instance
• get saftlib
  • mkdir lib
  • cp somewhere/* ./lib/
