| <h2 id="4diacfaq1">When I open a certain perspective, a view element is missing, how can I get it back?</h2> |
| <p>There are two possibilities to do that:</p> |
| <ul> |
| <li>Reset Perspective: When right-clicking on the active perspective's name in the perspective switcher, you get a context menu with the option Reset. |
| By selecting this item, the perspective is reset to the initial configuration showing all views again and at their original place.</li> |
| <li>Show View Menu: The menu item <span class="menu4diac">Window → Show View → Other</span> brings up a selection dialog that allows you to open any view. |
| By searching through the items you can reopen an accidentally closed view. |
| This option is especially of interest when you have a custom perspective layout you don't like to lose by resetting the perspective.</li> |
| </ul> |

| <li>Go to the System Configuration</li> |

| <h2 id="4diacfaq3">When I download my application, I get an <span class="errorMessage">UNSUPPORTED TYPE</span> error message in the <span class="view4diac">Deployment Console</span></h2> |
| <p>This message appears for multiple problems:</p> |
| <ul> |
| <li>Make sure that you have the source code (*.cpp, *.h) of all <span class="element4diac">Function Blocks</span> within your <span class="element4diac">Application</span>. |
| Also check if all source files are listed within a <span class="fileLocation">CMakeLists.txt</span> file.</li> |
| <li>Ensure that the missing Function Block is included in your built version of 4diac FORTE. |
| <ul> |
| <li>In IDE <span class="menu4diac">Window → Preferences → 4diac IDE → FORTE Preferences</span> the path to your correct <span class="fileLocation">forte.exe</span> has to be defined.</li> |
| <li>Or start your <span class="fileLocation">forte.exe</span> directly (development tool specific)</li> |
| </ul> |

| <h2 id="4diacfaq4">When I download my application, I get a <span class="errorMessage">STATUS ACCESS VIOLATION</span> error messages in the <span class="view4diac">Deployment Console</span></h2> |
| <p>Check if you used <span class="element4diac">Composite Function Blocks</span> within your <span class="element4diac">Application</span>. Make sure that you have the source code (*.cpp, *.h) of all <span class="element4diac">Function Blocks</span> within the <span class="element4diac">Composite's Network</span>. Also check if all source files are listed within a <span class="fileLocation">CMakeLists.txt</span> file.</p> |

| |
| <li> |
| <h2 id="4diacfaq5">When I download my application, I get a <span class="errorMessage">Create FB Instance failed</span> error</h2> |
| <p>Verify that the interface of the Function Block you want to download is the same as those available on your FORTE executable. |
| In case you download a Composite Function Block, please make sure that its Function Block Network matches the Function Block Network within your FORTE executable. |
| When in doubt, export your Function Block and compile FORTE before you download again.</p> |
| |

| </li> |
| |
| <li> |
| <h2 id="4diacfaq6">When I want to download my application, I get a <span class="errorMessage">connection refused</span> message</h2> |
| <p>Examine the following topics:</p> |
| <ul> |
| <li>Make sure that the port numbers used in the <span class="view4diac">Runtime Launcher</span> of the <span class="view4diac">Deployment</span> view are the same as those used for the <span class="element4diac">MGR_ID</span> of the <span class="element4diac">Devices</span> in the <span class="view4diac">System Configuration</span>.</li> |
| <li>Check if FORTE runs on a different port</li> |
| <li>Check in Task Manager (Windows) if an "old" crashed FORTE blocks the port</li> |
| <li>Check if Monitoring has been started before downloading (FORTE only supports a single connection at the management interface)</li> |
| </ul> |
| |

| </li> |
| |
| |
| |
| <li> |
| <h2 id="4diacfaq7">How do I use ARRAYs?</h2> |
| <p>When you create a new Function Block, choose the desired type for your array elements in the <span class="menu4diac">Type</span> drop down of the specific data and set the desired array size <span class="menu4diac">ArraySize</span>. |
| For initializing, put the values in curly brackets (e.g., <span class="inlineCode">{1,2,3}</span>).</p> |
| |
| <p class="goToTop"><a href="#topOfPage">Go to top</a></p> |
| </li> |
| |
| <li> |
| <h2 id="4diacfaq8">What does <span class="command4diac">CLEAN Device</span> do?</h2> |
| <span class="command4diac">CLEAN Device</span> deletes all existing <span class="element4diac">Resources</span> and the FBs in the <span class="element4diac">Resources</span>. |
| After <span class="command4diac">CLEAN Device</span>, you can deploy any other FB Network. |

| <h2 id="4diacfaq9">What does <span class="command4diac">KILL Device</span> do?</h2> |
| <span class="command4diac">KILL Devices</span> terminates FORTE. |

| |
| <li> |
| <h2 id="fortefaq1">Windows/Cygwin: The setup script runs to completion but when building the target, I get strange compile errors</h2> |
| <ul> |
| <li>First, check for any strange output of the setup script. Maybe your system misses something.</li> |
| <li>Do you have spaces in the path to your FORTE? Some Cygwin versions have problems with these.</li> |
| </ul> |
| |
| <p class="goToTop"><a href="#topOfPage">Go to top</a></p> |
| </li> |
| |
| |
| |
| <li> |
| <h2 id="fortefaq2">CMake/Cygwin: Can not find C and C++ compilers</h2> |
| CMake Errors: |
| <div class="code">your C compiler: CMAKE_C_COMPILER-NOTFOUND was not found. Please set CMAKE_C_COMPILER to a valid compiler path or name. |
| your CXX compiler: CMAKE_CXX_COMPILER-NOTFOUND was not found. |
| Please set CMAKE_CXX_COMPILER to a valid compiler path or name.</div> |
| <p>In this case, you need to tick the check box Advanced and look for <span class="specificText">CMAKE_CXXX_COMPILER</span> and <span class="specificText">CMAKE_C_COMPILER</span> and set the path and executable for your C and C++ compiler. |
| As an example, for Cygwin this could be <span class="fileLocation">c:\cygwin\bin\g++-3.exe</span> for the C++ compiler and <span class="fileLocation">c:\cygwin\bin\gcc-3.exe</span> for the C compiler. |
| |
| <p class="goToTop"><a href="#topOfPage">Go to top</a></p> |

| |
| <li> |
| <h2 id="fortefaq3">CMake/Cygwin: Can not find RC Compilers</h2> |
| CMake Error: |
| <div class="code">your RC compiler: CMAKE_RC_COMPILER-NOTFOUND was not found. |
| Please set CMAKE_RC_COMPILER to a valid compiler path or name.</div> |
| <p>Again you need to tick the check box Advanced and look for <span class="specificText">CMAKE_RC_COMPILER</span>. |
| For Cygwin or MinGW on Windows, it needs a file called windres.exe (e.g., C:\cygwin\bin\windres.exe). |
| |
| <p class="goToTop"><a href="#topOfPage">Go to top</a></p> |
| </li> |
| |
| <li> |
| <h2 id="fortefaq4">FORTE is C++, why are you then using the C-style include files for the standard c library instead of the C++ style include files?</h2> |
| <p>The main reason for this is that not all platforms provide the correct C++ include files. |
| This especially applies to real-time OS such as eCos where you can freely configure the supported features. |
| Using C++ style C include files on these platforms would pull lots of stuff from the compilers in and result in a bigger image or even worse it would not compile. |
| So as to current experience, C style include files are more reliable.</p> |

| <li> |
| <h2 id="fortefaq5">Within my FORTE console, I get <span class="errorMessage">UDP-Socket Send failed: Network is unreachable</span></h2> |
| <p>Consider to explicitly set up multicast IP routing in the kernel with the <span class="inlineCode">route</span> command. |
| This has been an issue on Raspberry Pi, where executing the following command resolved the problem:</p> |
| <div class="code">route add -net 224.0.0.0 netmask 240.0.0.0 dev eth0</div> |
| <p>The IPs are the desired multicast IPs.</p> |

| |
| <li> |
| <h2 id="fortefaq6">Within my FORTE console, I get <span class="errorMessage">connection closed by peer</span></h2> |
| <p>The TCP port is opened by a server in the RMT_RES. |
| This server handles the communication with the tool for download and monitoring. |
| The message indicates the end of the download process when 4diac IDE disconnects.</p> |
