The Sample code source you can download from

Source file: vt1211hw_src.tar.gz

About source code.

1.Install libgtk2.0-dev first

2.We suggest using Code::Blocks as an IDE in Linux.

3.Or you can just use "make" to compile the source code in the vt1211hw_src/ folder or vt1211hw_src/src/ folder.
  And you can excute "vt1211hw" file in the vt1211hw_src/src/ folder
 $cd vt1211hw
 $./configure
 $make
 $/src/vt1211hw
If you want to execute the hardware monitor utility under user account , you can follow the procedure:

1.Login by user account.
2.go to the vt1211hw_src/src folder
 $cd vt1211hw_src/src/

3.copy the vt1211hw into the ForUser folder
 $cp vt1211hw ForUser

4.build SetForUser
 $gcc -o vt1211hw SetForUser.c
5.change the file mode
 $sudo chown root.root vt1211hw
 $sudo chmod 4755 vt1211hw
6.then you can execute the hardware monitor utility
 $./vt1211hw 
 or double click vt2111hw

Binary file: vt1211hw_bin.tar.gz

How to use the DEMO application
