Over the years Pacificware has developed firmware that may have applications elsewhere in the engineering community. Feel free to download the applications listed below. Let us know if you have any questions.

 

DismissNetworkPass

 

Have you ever seen this dialog box while running Microsoft Outlook?

 

Pacificware was frustrated that this dialogbox would pop up at very inopportune times. So we wrote DismissNetworkPass.exe. It's an application that runs silently in the background and monitors for this dialog box.

 

When it pops up, DismissNetworkPass closes the dialog box and issues a brief message in the system tray.

 

We didn't stop there, though. We were also frustrated when we had to enter the Bluetooth PIN for one of our devices for the 200th time. So, you can enter a PIN and have DismissNetworkPass do that repetitive entry for you.

 

We think there could be a lot of other applications for this technology, so as usual, we are providing the complete source for the project. If you just want the features, just install DismissNetworkPass and configure it from the system tray.

 

 

 

 

Here's what the options dialog looks like:

Serial Port Script

 

This is a robust multithreaded scripting application for communication with devices over designated serial ports (virtual or otherwise). The application compiles under Visual Studio C++ 2008. It includes onscreen logging as well as file-logging (an essential part of any application development). The full source is available here for free: GPL License.

 

We have found Inno Setup to be an invaluable tool for installing applications. An Inno Setup script is provided as well to install the application in the designated location on a potential client’s computer.

 

This application and installation script is an example of a product that Pacificware can quickly produce for a client as a test harness to reduce test time, or automate testing to help test feature sets or isolate product defects.

ARM to Visual Studio Converter

 Normally, your compiler line would look like this:

  %.o:%.c

    $(CC) -c -o $@ $<

Just pipe the output to avsc.exe and it will allow Visual Studio to jump you right to the line where your errors exist.

  %.o:%.c

    $(CC) -c -o $@ $< 2>&1 1>null.txt | avsc.exe

Files:

• Binary 1.0: avsc_v1.0_bin.zip
• Source 1.0: avsc_v1.0_src.zip
• Source Makefile: avsc_makefile.txt
