I have invented my own protocol to communicate with an FPGA based board
we designed that uses an FTDI chip to provide USB access. This protocol
includes functions like readRegister, writeRegister, readMemory,
writeMemory, etc.
I have a C++ library that provides these functions to the command line,
or to a (C++) application program.
At some point, we decided it would be nice to have scripting capability
for these functions and decided on Python to provide this. It was easy
to convert the library into a Python "extension" module under Linux and
compile it.
Now one of our users wants to do the scripting in Windows, so I am
trying to simply compile the same module under Windows.
>From the libftdi web the claim is that it works under Windows, so I
thought it would be easy to port this module, which I am now finding is
a little more work than I thought. I didn't want to have to re-write the
whole protocol in Python again (having to try to figure out how to do
that), but rather just provide the final "user" function in Python, thus
the idea to compile the protocol as a module...
cheers,
Jo
