[Emc-users] Can gladevcp apps be run without AXIS, relying only on HAL ?

2011-07-19 Thread Javier Ros
Hi, I wonder if gladevcp application can be started up just from a HAL session, as an standalone application not depending on AXIS or other interface, but just on a developer's choice of hal components?. Thank you, Javier -

Michael, Thanks very much. By "starting from just a HAL session", I mean to do something similar to the tutorial on HAL (in the HAL manual), in which you use "halrun" to load different components and to connect them together. To be able to launch a gladevcp application, so that it can be used a

interesting idea. HAL is IMO one of the strongest assets of EMC. It's a lego space which enables mix-and-match and has user extensibility, other than other parts of EMC. It is a tempting idea to spin it out and make it usable without the rest of the EMC baggage, possibly in some very different
