PLI control of remote test board

[Phil Lide]

Hi all,

I'm sure it has been asked and answered many times, but here we go
again...

I want to do the following:

ncVerilog <-> PLI <-> RPC <-> LAN <-> RPC <-> USB

I am running ncVerilog on a Linux box and want to send simple read and
write commands via PLI to an RPC socket over our company LAN to a PC
running Win2K. The commands are directed to a hardware board with a
USB interface.

I have created PLI before but not to this extent.
I have never messed with RPC.

Can anyone offer examples, web sites, reference material, etc. that
will help me accomplish this task? I tried to Google but there is way
too much chaff to find the wheat...

Thanks so much,

Phil (remove the AAA for my correct email address)

What you want to do is "Google" for an RPC example and get it working
without Verilog/PLI first. Do you actually mean "RPC" (Remote
Procedure Call) or just plain sockets? There's tons of examples for
socket programming out there.
