ALOE Quick Start Guide

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

Downloading & Installing

Download source from http://flexnets.upc.edu/downloads/source/aloe-1.2.tar.gz or check last svn tag release at: http://flexnets.upc.edu/svn/phal/tags/

The latest unstable development trunk can be found at: http://flexnets.upc.edu/svn/phal/trunk/

Before installing, 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-1.2.tar.gz
cd aloe-1.2
./configure
make
sudo make install

Running an example

From the same directory where the source is (aloe-1.2):

runph

To run ALOE in real-time you must launch it with root permissions:

sudo 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 and view/modify them:

runph$: statlist example
runph$: statget example sink signal_out
