PEP#: 305
TITLE: VxWorks Port

DESCRIPTION: Ongoing VxWorks porting.

Configuring VxWorks environment variable:
=========================================

Add the following to your .bashrc:

    eval `/home/WindRiver/wrenv.sh -p vxworks-6.2 -o print_env -f sh`


Creating a "vxWorks" simulator image:
=====================================

    $ vxprj create linux gnu vxsim.wpj
    $ make

Starting and querying the registry server:
==========================================

    $ wtxregd start
    $ wtxreg


Starting the VXWorks simulator:
===============================

    $ vxsim -f image/vxWorks


Starting the target server (to connect to vxsim):
=================================================

    $ tgtsvr -V -B wdbpipe vxsim


Connecting windsh to vxsim (via the target server):
===================================================

    $ winsh vxsim


Running vxsim and running the sample "hello" program:
=====================================================

    $ vxsim -f image/vxWorks
    .
    .
    .
    > rtpSp "hello/hello.vxe"

Running vxsim with network support

    Start the simulator support daemon.  Note that right now
    we must start this as a separate window with the commnad
    vxsimnetd.  Note also that we set this with setuid 
    (chmod ugp+sw) so it starts as root when called from server.
    Note that the default is to set up subnet 192.168.200.0

    The start command is:

    $ vxsimnetd

    This must be done before starting the simulator
    Then start the simulator defining the network address for this
    instance of the simulator as follows:

    $ vxsim -f image/vxWorks -d simnet -e 192.168.200.1

    As a test you should be able to ping the simulator.

    $ ping 192.168.200.1
    
To get rpath working with /romfs/lib:
=====================================

    Create a /romfs/lib directory under your host system.

Rebuilding vxworks for the simulator:
=====================================

    $ make CPU=SIMLINUX TOOL=gnu
