11. Link port
The link port can be set-up with the Link
options
item:
11.1 Direct File loading
When cable is set to linkport,
TiEmu uses its direct file loading/saving capability. That is to say,
you can 'send' a file from disk to TiEmu and vice-versa (Send file to TiEmu item of popup
menu).
The port and calc settings are not used.
The timeout value can be increased/decreased to adjust timeout of
direct file loading.
11.2 Virtual cables
There are 2 virtual cables: VTi
& TiEmu.
To connect VTI and TiEmu:
- run VTI; next, run TiEmu
- choose the VTi cable, port #2
- open the VTI menu, go to Enable
Cable
Link and be sure that Virtual
Link is checked.
To connect TiLP and TiEmu:
- run TiEmu; next, run TiLP
- choose the TiEmu cable, port #1 in TiEmu
- choose the TiEmu cable, port #2 in TiLP
To connect TiEmu and TiEmu:
- run 2 instances of TiEmu
- choose the TiEmu cable on
both,
port #1 and port #2 respectively.
11.3 Real cables
At the time being, there are 4 link cables useable with TiEmu: GrayLink, BlackLink, ParallelLink and SilverLink (Win32
only).

Note: the TiLP-II framework does not rely on Linux kernel modules any
longer. But, you have to take care of permissions (user/group, rw) on
the device node.
