Installation of EnOcean Development environment - Video Transcription
| Video Snapshot | Step & Description |
|---|---|
 | 1. Welcome to the first tutorial video. In it we will talk about the EnOcean Developer Enviroment installation. |
 | 2. We differentiate between two types of usage. One is for developers that configure already programmed modules, the other is for developers of new firmware. Both require DolphinStudio and DolphinView, so we will start with these. |
 | 3. All EnOcean developer software can be found at our download page. |
 | 4. Select Support then click on software. |
 | 5. Before you can download any software a free registration is required. |
 | 6. I will demonstrate this with a tutorial user account. |
 | 7. After sending the registration form, you should receive a confirmation mail. To activate your account click on the link in it. |
 | 8. Now you can log in. To log in use the user name and passoword you specified during the registration. |
 | 9. In the download area you'll find more than just development tools, there are also hex files and source codes of selected products. |
 | 10. DolphinStudio provides an interface for configuring programmed modules and setting the DolphinAPI parameters. DolphinView is a great tool for visualising radio communication. Download both now. |
 | 11. After the download has finished start with the installation. Before installing please disconnect all EnOcean Programmers and hardware working with FTDI drivers. Let's start with DolphinStudio. |
 | 12. Both programs have a common installation wizard, which you might be familiar with. There is a license agreement, |
 | 13. and a “What's new” – text file about new features and bug fixes, |
 | 14. Please keep “uninstall previous version” checked. The installer also sets the global path variable to DolphinStudio and installs the latest FTDI drivers |
 | 15. and we are done. |
 | 16. Let's proceed to DolphinView. |
 | 17. Please note that DolphinView requires .net framework 3.5. The installation wizzard will prompt you to download it, if you don't have it already. |
 | 18. Now we are done with the installations. |
 | 19. If you are not planning on developing your own firmware you can skip this part, otherwise continue. To implement firmware, first return to the download page and also download the DolphinAPI. |
 | 20. Now install the last tool. |
 | 21. The installation is similar to previous wizards. |
 | 22. Just make sure you uninstall previous versions. Since this is the latest version, you do not need to check for a newer one. Enabling the highlighting option will highlight DolphinAPI functions in KEIL. |
 | 23. The highlighting is supported by KEILs .ini file. This script will copy the EnOcean .ini file. Press enter and you are done. |
 | 24. To develop firmware for Dolphin modules KEILs C51 compiler is required. It comes with an integrated developer environment called uVision. As this is a third party tool please download it directly from KEIL. |
  | 25. You will require a licence for the KEIL compiler. Please read our knowledge base article for the licensing options and pick the most suitable option for you. |
 | 26. If this is your first time working with EnOcean tools you should browse through the manuals of the products. If you are planning on developing firmware, we strongly recommend that you read the introduction part of the DolphinAPI manual. |
 | 27. It is also recommended that you go to our Knowledge Base. |
 | 28. Here you can find system specification documents, FAQs on products and links to other developers documents. |
 | 29. You can also search articles for developers. |
 | 30. If you cannot find what you are looking for, submit a new request. |
 | 31. After installing either DolphinView or DolphinStudio, your system should have the drivers for the EnOcean Programmer. |
  | 32. Plug the programmer into a free USB port and you should see a similar message. It always depends on the edition of your operating system. |
 | 33. It is important that you see a message confirming your programmer is being recognized and ready to be used. Otherwise please reinstall the FTDI drivers. You can find help in the Knowledge Base. |
 | 34. This concludes the first tutorial. |
