documentation. Click <a href="/latest">here</a> to read the latest

<h2 id="project-sim-slinky">Project Sim Slinky</h2>
<h3 id="objective">Objective</h3>
<p>The goal of the project is to enable and demonstrate remote communications with the Mynewt OS via newt manager (newtmgr). We will do this through building a project with Mynewt called Slinky that runs via the native platform. </p>
<h3 id="what-you-need">What you need</h3>
<p>1.Personal Computer</p>
<p>The instructions assume the user is using a Bourne-compatible shell (e.g. bash or zsh) on your computer. The given instructions have been tested with the following releases of operating systems:</p>
<ul>
<li>Mac: OS X Yosemite Version 10.10.5</li>
</ul>
<h3 id="overview-of-steps">Overview of steps</h3>
<ul>
<li>Install dependencies</li>
<li>Define a target using the newt tool</li>
<li>Build executables for the targets using the newt tool</li>
<li>Set up serial connection with the targets </li>
<li>Create a connection profile using the newtmgr tool</li>
<li>Use the newtmgr tool to communicate with the targets</li>
</ul>
<h3 id="installing-newt">Installing newt</h3>
<p>If you have not already installed <code>newt</code> see the
<a href="../get_started/get_started/">newt installation instructions</a> and ensure newt is installed an in your path.</p>
<h3 id="installing-newtmgr">Installing newtmgr</h3>
<p>If you have not already installed <code>newtmgr</code> see the
<a href="../../newtmgr/installing/">newtmgr installation instructions</a> and ensure newtmgr is installed an in your path.</p>
<h3 id="creating-a-new-project">Creating a new project</h3>
<p>Instructions for creating a project are located in the <a href="../get_started/project_create/">Basic Setup</a> section of the <a href="../introduction/">Mynewt Documentation</a></p>
<p>We will list only the steps here for brevity. We will name the project
<code>slinky</code>.</p>
<div class="codehilite" style="background: #ffffff"><pre style="line-height: 125%;"><span></span><code> $ newt new slinky
Downloading project skeleton from apache/incubator-mynewt-blinky...
...
Installing skeleton in slink...
Project slink successfully created
$ cd slinky
$ newt install -v
Downloading repository description for apache-mynewt-core... success!
...
Repos successfully installed
</code></pre></div>
<h3 id="setting-up-your-target-build">Setting up your target build</h3>
<p>Create a target for <code>slinky</code> using the native bsp. We will list only the steps and suppress the tool output here for brevity.</p>
<div class="codehilite" style="background: #ffffff"><pre style="line-height: 125%;"><span></span><code> $ newt target create sim_slinky
$ newt target set sim_slinky bsp=@apache-mynewt-core/hw/bsp/native
$ newt target set sim_slinky build_profile=debug
$ newt target set sim_slinky app=@apache-mynewt-core/apps/slinky
</code></pre></div>
<h3 id="building-your-target">Building Your target</h3>
<p>To build your target, use <code>newt build</code>. When complete, an executable file
is created.</p>
<div class="codehilite" style="background: #ffffff"><pre style="line-height: 125%;"><span></span><code> $ newt build sim_slinky
Compiling main.c
...
Linking slinky.elf
App successfully built: ~/dev/slinky/bin/sim_slinky/apps/slinky/slinky.elf
</code></pre></div>
<h3 id="run-the-target">Run the target</h3>
<p>Run the executable you have build for the simulated environment. The serial port name on which the simulated target is connected is shown in the output
when mynewt slinky starts.</p>
<div class="codehilite" style="background: #ffffff"><pre style="line-height: 125%;"><span></span><code> $ ~/dev/slinky/bin/sim_slinky/apps/slinky/slinky.elf
uart0 at /dev/ttys005
</code></pre></div>
<p><br></p>
<p>In this example, the slinky app opened up a com port <code>/dev/ttys005</code>
for communications with newtmgr. </p>
<p><strong>NOTE:</strong> This application will block. You will need to open a new console (or execute this in another console) to continue the tutorial.*</p>
<p><br></p>
<h3 id="setting-up-a-connection-profile">Setting up a connection profile</h3>
<p>You will now set up a connection profile using <code>newtmgr</code> for the serial port connection and start communicating with the simulated remote device.</p>
<div class="codehilite" style="background: #ffffff"><pre style="line-height: 125%;"><span></span><code> $ newtmgr conn add sim1 type=serial connstring=/dev/ttys005
Connection profile sim1 successfully added
$ newtmgr conn show
Connection profiles:
sim1: type=serial, connstring=&#39;/dev/ttys007&#39;
</code></pre></div>
<h3 id="executing-newtmgr-commands-with-the-target">Executing newtmgr commands with the target</h3>
<p>You can now use connection profile <code>sim1</code> to talk to the running sim_blinky.
As an example, we will query the running mynewt OS for the usage of its
memory pools. </p>
<div class="codehilite" style="background: #ffffff"><pre style="line-height: 125%;"><span></span><code> $ newtmgr -c sim1 mpstats
Return Code = 0
nffs_cache_inode_pool (blksize=36 nblocks=4 nfree=4)
nffs_cache_block_pool (blksize=32 nblocks=64 nfree=64)
nffs_dir_pool (blksize=8 nblocks=4 nfree=4)
default_mbuf_data (blksize=256 nblocks=10 nfree=8)
nffs_file_pool (blksize=12 nblocks=4 nfree=4)
nffs_inode_entry_pool (blksize=24 nblocks=100 nfree=98)
nffs_block_entry_pool (blksize=12 nblocks=100 nfree=100)
</code></pre></div>
<p>As a test command, you can send an arbitrary string to the target and it
will echo that string back in a response to newtmgr.</p>
<div class="codehilite" style="background: #ffffff"><pre style="line-height: 125%;"><span></span><code> $ newtmgr -c sim1 echo &quot;Hello Mynewt&quot;
{&quot;r&quot;: &quot;Hello Mynewt&quot;}
</code></pre></div>
<p>The response comes back as a json string.</p>
<p>In addition to these, you can also examine running tasks, statistics,
logs, image status (not on sim), and configuration.</p>
