84.250.7.87: /* From host to runtime */

=== From host to runtime ===

Currently MADDE supports mounting of host file system to N900 runtime.

This is very convenient feature when developing software.

All supported platforms (windows, linux, mac) are supported.

The syntax of mount command is:

<pre>
$ mad remote [-r runtime] mount <directory>
</pre>

The command mounts <tt><directory></tt> to the N900 to a mount point
<tt>/home/developer/mnt</tt>.

mad remote run supports finding executable software with given
name from this directory.

In case of mounting fails due to stale previous mount, running
mad remote umount fixes this problem -- try it always if mounting fails.

Example usage:

<pre>
$ mad remote -r n900 mount .
$ mad make hello
$ mad remote -r n900 run hello
</pre>

=== From runtime to host ===

Currently MADDE does not support mounting a directory from N900
to host pc, but it is quite easily possible with userspace filesystems
in all supported platforms.

Linux and Mac hosts can use 'sshfs' fuse filesystem utility.

Windows hosts can use 'Dokan SSHFS' software (see http://dokan-dev.net/en/).

Example usage with sshfs (dokan interface is probably similar):

<pre>
$ mkdir mnt_n900
$ sshfs developer@<addr-of-n900>: mnt_n900
</pre>

Now host mount point <tt>mnt_n900</tt> sees <tt>/home/developer</tt>
on n900.
