I made a few modifications in the sbl2ex FactoryApp and loaded it int my sbl2ex--and nothing happened. No boot messages, no functionality, no +++ response, no response to 'A' during first two seconds...nothing. The uart tx line drops to about -6v, so I know the power is supplied.

For a little while ...

The code will be doing i/o on uart0, and output only on uart1. As long as uart0 is the same resource and pins on the X, and uart1 pins at most won't hurt anything... On the other hand, on the X uart1 is somehow steered to other pins on the single DB9 connector, so perhaps the right thing to do is ...

I could undertake a study of schematics and parts and pinouts, or I could simply ask here if anybody already has the answer. I spent a lot of time getting my SBL2e code just right. Can I simply pop it into an SBL2e X or XA?

I had forgotten about name mangling in C++, I guess that makes sense.
When you wrote "a linker problem", I thought you meant a bug either in
the linker or the linker script, not in just combining C and C++ modules
(and names) in one link.
Thanks.

I am using the functions in nbtime.h. I don't see how those give me anything other than the time_t long that is the number of seconds since whenever, long time ago. I need it parsed into day of year, day of week, hour, minute, second, that kind of thing. Is there another way to get this other than ...

Answering my own question...

Ok, something I probably will never understand. If I enclose the struct tm definition and the gmtime_r function prototype thusly:

_BEGIN_STD_C
struct tm
{
int tm_sec;
int tm_min;
int tm_hour;
int tm_mday;
int tm_mon;
int tm_year;
int tm_wday;
int tm_yday;
int ...

>>The time stuff is not in the SBL2E.

On the contrary, it's all there, every bit of it, at least in the version I have. Like I said, if I arbitrarily increase the available ram space for the linker, it links just fine--if I #include <time.h>.

If I don't include time.h, but just provide the ...

Compiling into SBL2E and running out of space. If I #include <time.h> I get almost 1K bytes ram, and it exceeds the available ram space. So instead of the #include, I did a local struct definition of tm, and a local function prototype for localtime_r, and tried to build it. I get an error "undefined ...

You've just opened a window for me. Add my own listener.... There's a whole new world of possibilities there. Thank you.

Right. And it would not make sense to "Find" NB devices over the internet. It looks like there are two ways to do configuration, using the web server on port 80 and using IPSetup on port 20034. I have already made some modifications to VirtualSErialPorts so that, for example, you can supply a URL ...
