Programming the MVI Module
What This Chapter Contains
This chapter describes how to get your application running on the
MVI module. Once an application has been developed using the
backplane and serial APIs, it must be downloaded to the MVI module
in order to run. The application may then be run manually from the
console command line, or automatically on powerup from the
AUTOEXEC.BAT or CONFIG.SYS files.
The following table identifies what this chapter contains and where to
find specific information.
ROM Disk Configuration
User programs are stored in the 1756-MVI module’s ROM disk. The
ROM disk is an 896K byte portion of Flash ROM that appears as
Drive A:
The MVI module also supports an optional compact flash, which
appears as drive C:/. The size of this drive is currently limited only by
compact flash technology; the MVI module will support CHS
technology drives up to 512 Mbyte.
