VxWorks
When booting the target with a VxWorks program image provided over a network, the VxWorks boot
program must be configured to include information about the location of the VxWorks image on the host
computer’s hard disk drive. The boot program must be set to communicate via a network, and requires
the correct host and target IP addresses, the full path and name of the file to be booted, the user name etc.
When the target system is powered up (and each time it is hard reset), the target system executes the boot
program from ROM; the target uses the serial ports to communicate with a terminal or the host computer
terminal emulation software (HyperTerminal, tip, cu or Kermit). The boot program first displays a
banner page, and then starts a seven-second countdown, visible on the screen as shown below. Unless
stopped by a key-press within the seven-second period, the boot loader attempts to proceed with the
specified configuration.
