GinLink files

ginlink.dt2

device-map.xml file

The device-map.xml file is a central file to hold information about the configured devices in this target. It's now mostly used for GinLink but can also be used for other bus types.

Example of a device-map file:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" standalone="yes"?>
<!--
    trans-table-name="device-map"
 
    to manually set a MAC address use the format 0x3D001234
-->
<Devices>
    <Device Type="GIN" ProductCode="610736940">
    ...
    </Device>
    <Device Type="GIN" ProductCode="611143600">
    ...
    </Device>
</Devices>

As a normal xml file it needs an xml header. In the comment section after the header there's a string 'trans-table-name' with a value how this file should be stored in the master. This line should not be changed or the system is not able to find and use the device-map file.

The single devices need a type and productcode to identify and check for the correct hardware. The name is used as name for the subtarget. Depending on the type additional information is necessary to identify the device. In the case of GinLink hardware the MAC-address is important. It can either be entered in this file or be filled in by using the Indel Configurator.

<Device Type="GIN" ProductCode="611143600">
    <Name>COP1</Name>
    <Address>
        <MAC>unconfigured</MAC>
    </Address>
</Device>
