Hi all,
I'm having trouble setting up my laptop and a desktop to run xPC. The host seems to be having trouble finding the target. I'm using an HP tx1000 laptop as the host computer, and connecting via ethernet to a Dell intel desktop as the target. When I use the boot CD to boot into xPC on the desktop, it says "No supported pci ethernet board." I'm plugging into the built in ethernet on the target: do I need to use a separate PCI ethernet card?
When I try to compile my simulink model, it stops at "looking for target: TargetPC1."
I've assigned static IP addresses and entered those in for both the host and the target. (198.168.1.3 and 198.168.1.50 respectively.) The subnet mask is 255.255.255.0 and the TCP/IP is left blank.
The HP host laptop has a nforce motherboard with built in ethernet. The Target desktop has a Broadcom NetXtreme 57xx gigabit controller as the network adapter.
Does anyone have any ideas for troubleshooting these connections? Think there is an incompatibility issue? How would I get around that using a laptop with built in ethernet? (external card?)
All help much appreciated
