CHAPTER 6
VxWorks Support
Overview
VxWorks is an embedded real-time operating system supporting flexible
hardware configuration. The CEI-x20 API compiles and runs under
Motorola PowerPC and Intel x86 VxWorks Board Support Packages. The
CEI-820 and CEI-820TX are supported on both x86 and PowerPC
platforms, while the CEI-220/420/420A/520/520A/620 are supported only
on the x86 platform.
To use the CEI-x20 API with VxWorks you must first build a VxWorks
image that includes our VxWorks driver. Next, download the compiled
API module to the target machine. After downloading the API module,
then compile, download, and run the user application. These three basic
steps are described in the sections that follow.
It is also possible to incorporate the CEI-x20 API and user application
code into your VxWorks image (thus removing the need to download these
modules). The instructions given in the following sections can be extended
to apply to an image-based build.
These instructions apply to both Tornado and Workbench environments,
and are therefore written in a generic fashion which must be interpreted for
your particular environment.
Building a VxWorks Image
To incorporate the CEI-x20 API with VxWorks, you must first rebuild
your VxWorks image to include our VxWorks driver. This procedure uses
the VxWorks Component Installation method.
