- VERY IMPORTANT:
uninstall first any previous release of VMLAB (use Add/Remove programs
in Windows Control Panel)
- Download VMLAB314.ZIP
in a temporary directory, for example C:\INSTALL. It is important not
to mix the obtained installation files with old ones of previous
releases, therefore it is recommend to create a new temporary
directory. It can be deleted later, if you wish, once the installation
is finished.
- Unzip it.
- Run SETUP.EXE; it
will install VMLAB 3.14 in your computer, so, no additional
upgrade is needed.
- Note: WinZIP can do all
this job automatically by just clicking on the SETUP.EXE file, once
loaded VMLAB314.ZIP

learn how to create own hardware components. This manual is included in
the installation/upgrade; there is no need to download it if you
install the full VMLAB package.

Long names. Windows (and VMLAB)
support long names in
filenames and directories, but VMLAB relies also on 3rd party tools:
assemblers, compilers,
etc, whose right behavior with long names (files and directories) is
not
guaranteed. Therefore, we strongly recommend you:
- To check if your
assembler/compiler support long names, otherwise use always the 8.3
rule (8 char. maximum name, 3 char. max extension) in your designs
files and directories.
- Do not use spaces in
files/directories names, even if Windows allows it.
- Use the default installation
directory: C:\VMLAB. If this name is not good, use other with the 8.3
rule.
- Do not use the C:\Program
files\.... directory for the installation, even if it is an
standard in Windows.
Known behavior up-to-date of
different 3rd party
tools supported by VMLAB. This could change with releases.
- AVR Atmel assembler: support
long names.
- WinAVR: supports long names
with latest ELF->COFF converter; 12 char max with previous releases
(< 3.3).
- ST62 assembler: does not
support long names.
Therefore, VMLAB's
default behavior is to follow the 8.3 rule, which is the
safest option. To change this, use the 'Options | Code Maker' menu.
To evaluate VMLAB, we recommend
you to try the examples included in
AVR_DEMO, WinAVRdemo and ST6_DEMO directories. There is a step-by-step
tutorial in the
C:\VMLAB\TUTORIAL directory.
