Virtual CoCo FujiNet

Note

Work in progress - Jeff P.

It is beyond the scope of this initial "getting started" document to provide detailed steps of building FujiNet-PC for the CoCo or even how to build/install the CoCo emulators mentioned. Additional detailed information may be added to this wiki over time.

FujiNet-PC instructions: You will need to build/install FujiNet-PC for the CoCo platform (source included as part of the fujinet-firmware github repo) located at:

https://github.com/FujiNetWIFI/fujinet-firmware

The detailed steps for performing this build can be found here and uses the build.sh script:

https://github.com/FujiNetWIFI/fujinet-firmware/blob/master/build-sh.md

./build.sh -b -p COCO

If the build process completes successfully, you should see this:

...
...
[ 99%] Built target fujinet
[100%] Preparing dist directory
[100%] Built target dist
Built PC version in build/dist folder

To start the fujinet-pc application, launch the run-fujinet script from the ../build/dist folder:

./run-fujinet

You should see something like this in the console:

~/source/fujinet-pc-CoCo/build/dist$ ./run-fujinet
