I want to experiment in the platform made of esterel compiler
,polis.linux.0.4 and ptolemy II in the linux os.I have downloaded all the
necessary software,including the esterelv5_92 for linux,polis.linux.0.4 and
ptolemy II for linux.Now I found a problem which is that the polis need
ptolemy.071,but i don't use the ptolemy classic,and i only use ptolemy
II.So my question is how i can run this embedded system platform made of
polis.0.4 and ptolemy II.3x!
--------
Polis uses Ptolemy Classic, otherwise know as Ptolemy 0.x.
The most recent released version of Ptolemy Classic is Ptolemy 0.7.1
Ptolemy 0.7.2 is available to developers, but it is not as polished
as I would like, so we have not done a full release of 0.7.2.
I can send you information on how to download Ptolemy 0.7.2.
I have not tried installing Polis, so I can't say whether it would
work with 0.7.1 or 0.7.2.

What about compatibility with Ptolemy Classic (Ptolemy 0.7.x)?
This FAQ covers Ptolemy II. The Ptolemy Classic FAQ can be found
at http://ptolemy.eecs.berkeley.edu/ptolemyclassic/ptolemy.faq
Ptolemy 0.x is fairly mature software in that the design is stable
and mostly unchanging. The Ptolemy II software system is under
active development.
# They are written in different languages (Java vs. C++)
# They have different file formats. Ptolemy 0.x uses Octtools,
Ptolemy II uses a system based on XML
# They have different user interfaces. The Ptolemy II UI is much
easier to use than the Ptolemy Classic UI.
# Ptolemy Classic works best under Unix. There is a Windows port of
Ptolemy Classic, but it does not work well.
Ptolemy II works under both Unix and Windows.
# Ptolemy Classic can generate code for various DSP primarily using
SDF semantics.
Ptolemy II can generate code for non-hierarchical SDF models and
for hierarchical Giotto models.
For more information about the current status of code generation
in Ptolemy II, see
http://ptolemy.eecs.berkeley.edu/ptolemyII/ptIIlatest/ptII/doc/codegen.htm
Various people have made efforts to use a different front end with
Ptolemy Classic. See the Ptolemy Website Links Page for possible
solutions, including:
# MLDesigner 2.1 is a commercial product that was released in
January 2002 and it includes a conversion utility from Ptolemy
Classic models.
# The PeaCE (Ptolemy extension as Codesign Environment) might offer
some ideas and does have some software available.
# The 2001 Ptolemy Miniconference had the following talk:
"An Approach to Executing Ptolemy Classic Models under Ptolemy II"
Ned Stoffel, Dwight Richards, Neil Smyth*, and Matt Goodman,
Telcordia Technologies, Inc. (* Smyth is now with Altio).
The slides for this talk can be found at
http://ptolemy.eecs.berkeley.edu/conferences/01/src/miniconf/Telcordia.pdf
We are not sure if Telcordia has any software available for
release.

In theory, you could interface Ptolemy Classic and Ptolemy II
and somehow use Polis, but this would be a fairly complex task.
