Quick Start Build Instructions (if you get lost, read the details in MicroMonitor User Guide)
Assumptions
- GNU X-Tools (either the free 30-day trial version or a purchased copy) Toolsuite
- Target Board IP address assigned
- Target already has umon running and is connected and powered on; otherwise, you need the JTAG device and its procedure with the ramtst.elf file in the .../umon/umon_ports/csbxxx/build_CSBXXX directory.
Steps
1. Open GNU X-Tools Shell (Cygwin) or Xterm/Bash (Linux)
2. Untar source tree ($tar xvzf <name-of-src-tree>.
3. $cd .../umon/umon_main/host (only do this the first time you untar the source tree; then, the tools are usable for all future rebuilds)
4. $make OSTYPE=<'cygwin' or 'linux'> rebuild (e.g., "make OSTYPE=cygwin rebuild")
5. $cd ../../../umon/umon_ports/xxxxxx (e.g., csb637 or adse_imx21)
6. $. bashrc (dot space bashrc)
7. $ make rebuild
8. $ make TARGET_IP=<ip-address> newmon (e.g., make TARGET_IP=192.168.0.110 newmon)
9. Reset power on the target and enter the last four assigned MAC address digits (e.g., :00:58) -- see label on target
Example Programs Available for Cogent ARM, ColdFire, MIPS, and PowerPC Boards
MicroMonitor has several example programs that will run on uMON in the Tiny File System (TFS) -- look in the uMON source tree under 'umon/umon_apps/usr_manual' directory for the example source code, makefile and README.

uCon Embedded Console (a nice replacement for HyperTerminal)
uCon is a nice replacement for HyperTerminal. It simplifies the interfacing to MicroMonitor over a serial connection. Plus it provides basic services typically used during embedded system development... TFTP client/server, DHCP server, serial command scripting, and even a terminal server that allows you to access the PC's serial port remotely via telnet. It is a major superset of HyperTerminal. Unfortunately, like HyperTerminal, it only runs on Windows.
Simply unzip and execute (it is a self-installing executable). After startup, just click on the menu item Help->Overview for some basic information. If you're already a uCon user and are downloading an update, be sure to read the "What's New" help text after installation.

Testimonials
"The MicroMonitor bootloader allows Cadenux to more quickly get Linux running on the target hardware and allows the kernel and file system to be easily upgraded." -- Todd Fisher, Cadenux
"uMON is the best Linux bootloader out there, bar none. I have standardized on it for all my embedded Linux platforms; it is portable, easy to use, and contains a number of valuable features including Ethernet support and a rich scripting environment." -- Bill Gatliff
