Using the Application Integrator

Introduction
One of the Software Development Tools provided in the NURIT ADT is the
Application Integrator program. The Application Integrator should be used by both
Motorola and ARM based applications as follows:

1. For Motorola based applications supported by NOS version 6, this tool

allows to convert the Linker output file - an F70 extension file (*.F70 ) or an ABS
extension file (*.ABS) - to an APP extension file (*.APP).

2. For Motorola or ARM based applications supported by NOS version 7, the

tool allows to convert the Linker output file (*.HEX extension file) to one of the
following files:
! *.APP extension file - for a traditional stand alone application (Single
Application Mode)
! *.EDA extension file for Event Driven Applications part of the Multi
Application Environment (Multi Application Mode)
! *.DLM extension file - for Dynamically Linked Modules of either Single
Application or Event Driven Applications. (Single Application Mode or
Multi Application Mode)
File conversion is required before downloading the complied and linked file of your
application into the NURIT terminal. After the file is converted using the
Application Integrator, it can be downloaded into the terminal via the NURIT CC
(WNCC) or via direct cable connection (RS232) to the HOST.

The converted file contains data regarding the application requirements: the
Hardware Components required, indication for the Plug-in file, the DLMs used by
the application, and the supported Industry Types.

Converting Files
To create an *.APP / *.EDA / *.DLM file follow the following steps:
1. Select location for the Application Integrator installation on your PC (Part of
ADT)
2. Run the Application Integrator program.
3. From the File menu, press Import File to Convert and select the source file
to be converted. You can choose between the following files: HEX / ABS / f70.
4. Opening the file to convert , the Specific and the Used DLMs tabs will be
filled by the Application Integrator tool, with data from your application Header file.
The Used DLMs tab displays the DLMs to be used by the application. These
DLMs are imported into the Nurit CC along with the application.
Note that each of the DLMs used by your application, must be converted separately
using the Application Integrator..
Selecting the Memory, Communication Ports, Display, Cards and
General tabs, insert other Application hardware parameters.
The NURIT CC uses this data to check the compatibility of the terminal hardware
with the application hardware requirements, before enabling the download.
5. In the Software tab, select the Plug-in file to be used by your application. The
Plug-in allows to download a particular combination of parameters from the NURIT
CC into the terminals.

6. In the Software tab select the Industry Type to be supported by your

application.
7. Press Convert File to save the converted file in the same folder from where the
source file is taken.
8. After converting the file, you can click on Exit to quit the Application
Integrator. The post converted file was given a name according to the following
convention:
Block name_version_A .APP
E.g.

demo_0100_A.APP

demo block name

0100 - version
A for ARM (or M for Motorola)
APP extension.

Viewing Converted Files

The Application Integrator allows to view any converted APP/ EDA/ DLM file.
Viewing is enabled in Read Only mode. In this mode, the parameters cannot be
changed and the file cannot be saved.
To change any of the parameters, open the original HEX / ABS / f70 file and
follow the conversion steps.
To view a converted file, from the File menu, select View Converted File
