ALOE Quick Start Guide

In this page we describe how to download, install and run an example waveform for ALOE.

Downloading & Installing

Source

Download from http://flexnets.upc.edu/downloads/source/aloe-1.0.tar.gz or check last svn tag release at: http://flexnets.upc.edu/svn/phal/tags

Make sure you have the following libraries in your system:

• readline (4.0 should be fine)
  • ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/readline/
• termcap
  • ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/termcap/

For debian users, just type:

sudo apt-get install libreadline5-dev

Untar, compile and install:

tar xzvf aloe-1.0.tar.gz
cd aloe-1.0
./configure
make
sudo make install

Debian (i386)

Edit your /etc/apt/sources.list and add the following line:

deb http://flexnets.upc.edu/debian/ ./

Then update & install:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install aloe

Fedora (i386)

Download rpm at http://flexnets.upc.edu/downloads/fedora/aloe-1.0-1.i386.rpm

Running an example

From the same directory where the source is (aloe-1.0):

runph

And in the runph prompt:

runph$: phload example
runph$: phinit example
runph$: phrun example

And your waveform is running!

You can now view information about execution time:

runph$: execinfo example

You can list available statistics or view the output signal:

runph$: statls example
runph$: statget example sink signal_out

Now change sampling frequency and see its effects in execution time and the output signal:

runph$: statset example source freq_sample 10000.0
runph$: execinfo example
runph$: statget example sink signal_out
