At the risk of repeating myself...if you do a full TOS install you
should get everything you need to run PC side programs. I don't know
what TOS version or OS you are interested in so I can't pontificate
on where to get the exact components. But at the level where I have
stalled one needs this minimum set for a runtime only (top down):
tinytools.jar -- actually I can't find the real name now ...
but it's the classes in the tools/java directory
(you only really need a small subset, in my case:
util, message, packet, tools)
-- or write your own if you are feeling brave
getenv.dll or libgetenv.so -- so Java can get the MOTECOM envvar
-- this is only required if you use the tinytools.jar
javacomm20_win32, TOSCOMM, or equivalent javax.comm JNI and jar,
this depends on the TOS version you use as (I think) T2
converted to using their own TOSCOMM library. This gives Java
access to I/O ports, which apparently didn't seem important
to it's inventors
(possibly) a USB to serial driver for your hardware interface
I suggest that you work through some of the TOS tutorial to get to
the point where you have a working communication system, and then
start extracting the components you need.
