[ECOS] General System Monitor question

[ECOS] General System Monitor question

[J Jordaan]

Hi All

As I understand it the system monitor runs with any application if you
enable it in ecos' HTTPD package. It starts when the application calls
cyg_scheduler_start(). You access the monitor on a web browser with the
following address:

http://192.168.2.51/monitor/index.html

where 192.168.2.51 is your board's ip address.

Is this correct?

Thanks

Jacques

Yes. A couple of caveats:

1. The monitor usually starts a little after the main application, to
   avoid interfering with any application startup.

2. The HTTPD thread priority may need to be configured differently
   from the default. If the application has a lot of higher priority
   threads the monitor may not respond very quickly.
