Now that you compiled your program it is time to test it.
To be able to do so you need to somehow upload the binary
to your Dreamcasts memory. This can be done with two different
approaches:
Direct upload of the ELF to the Dreamcast memory
and running it there via a Serial Connection to
your development PC
Direct upload of the ELF to the Dreamcast memory
and running it there via a TCP/IP connection using
the Broadband Adapter
(this is not yet covered here since I have no access
to the BroadBand Adapter)
Burning of the ELF (and all associated Datafiles)
onto a CD-ROM and then running it on your Dreamcast
from the CD.
As of now I will only cover the first possibility of uploading
the binary directly to the Dreamcast via a Serial-Link
(also called Coders Cable). The Toolset and
Tutorials for making bootable CD-Roms is also available
here.
There are two options when you want to upload binaries
via the Serial Link:
[Serial
Slave Upload Client]
Only works with SREC Files at 57600 bit/s.
Has a GUI for upload
(has working support for KallistiOS console output)
[DC-Tool
Toolsuite]
Works also with ELF files without conversion at 115200
bit/s. Has no GUI.
(you have to compile KallistiOS to support 115200
bit/s console output)
