Is that possible? Answer: It's sort-of possible, but not entirely: Both the sniffer and serial monitor require services (WinPCap and Tibbo Device monitor, respectively). However, socket and serial communications require no services, and _can_ be used without installing Ninja. text/html 2012-01-09T12:24:24+03:00 Wiki SU http://www.tibbo.com/kb/home?rev=1326101064&do=diff This Knowledge Base serves as a repository for all sorts of quick tips and information we wanted to share with our customers, but did not fit anywhere within our online documentation.

But that Windows app requires access to the serial port, which in your case is mapped to a Tibbo device with VSPDL. So how do you map a COM port in WINE to a VSPDL? text/html 2010-08-05T11:16:07+03:00 Wiki SU http://www.tibbo.com/kb/fixed/vspdl/nonroot?rev=1280992567&do=diff When you create new VSPs using the VSPM, they are often created as nodes owned by “root” and belonging to the “root” group, like so: crw-rw---- 1 root root 101, 0 2010-08-02 12:15 vsps0 This isn't due to the VSPM itself; it's because of udev, used for managing device nodes in distros using Linux kernel 2.6.

It supports both TiOS devices, and older fixed-function SoI devices.

Answer: How does a variable overflow handled in TIDE? As we mentioned in our language philosophy, because Taiko application is not PC based, we do not halt the execution and pop up an error. What we do is that we simply discard the most significant digit in hex, if it is more than the type of the variable can hold. For example:
