Overview
• To perform Cross-Development, you must configure:
• Host environment variables.
• Target hardware
• Network software
• Several administrative processes must be running in order
to use Tornado tools:
• Target server
- Manages tools’ interaction with
a target
• Registry
- Manages information needed to
contact a target server.
• License Manager - Provides license management.
2-3
Target Hardware Configuration
•VxWorks ROM’s replace the manufacturer’s ROM’s.
•Boards may need to be jumpered. See Board Support
Documentation (tman bspName, or the target.txt file) for
hardware considerations.
•Of course :
•Static electricity, overheating can damage boards.
•Connectors must be firmly in place (serial cables,
ethernet cables, VME, etc).
•VME specific
•“System controller” in slot 0 (left most slot).
•Having empty slots between boards requires jumpering
the backplane.
2-4
UNIX: Host Software Configuration
• Set some environment variables in your .cshrc (or .profile) file.
Here is a sample .cshrc stub:
setenv WIND_HOST_TYPE
sun4-sunos2
setenv WIND_BASE
/u/team1/wind
setenv WIND_REGISTRY colmumbia
setenv PATH ${WIND_BASE}/host/${WIND_HOST_TYPE}/bin:${PATH}
setenv GCC_EXEC_PREFIX
$WIND_BASE/host/$WIND_HOST_TYPE/lib/gcc-lib/
alias ccx ‘cc68k . . .’
alias tman
‘man -M ${WIND_BASE}/host/man: ${WIND_BASE}/target/man’
• Modify the WIND_REGISTRY host’s startup files to start the registry daemon, wtxregd, when
the host boots.
• Configure WIND license management.
2-5
UNIX: Network Configuration
• Define your target’s name by modifying /etc/hosts:
123.12.1.7
vxtarget
If using NIS, consult your network administrator.
• Put your target’s name (as it appears in the /etc/hosts file)
in ~/.rhosts if booting via RSH.
•Modify routing tables, if necessary.
•Perform similar configuration to enable communication with the
hosts running the registry daemon and license manager.
2-6
PC: Host Software Configuration
• No environment variables need be set to use the Tornado development
environment under Windows.
• Install the registry
• in the Startup folder for Windows 95 or NT4.0
• as a service for Windows NT
• Consult the Windows 95/Windows NT documentation to install and
configure TCP/IP for a PC. The hosts file is :
• Windows 95
- c:\windows\host
• Windows NT
- c:\winnt\system32\drivers\etc\hosts
• Configure Wind License Management.
2-7
Wind License Management
• The Target Server and WindView are license-managed.
• Floating licences require a network.
• A server daemon on one host allocates a limited number of
licences, or seats, to clients, first come first serve. Each seat
allows one user on one host to use a particular product, or feature.
• Single user licences are valid for one user on one machine. The license
is managed by the product, not by a server daemon.
• Use the SETUP -L tool on the installation CD to :
•email WRS the server host ID needed to create keys.
•set up license key files with keys returned from WRS.
•on client machines, specify the license server host.

Boot ROM
• Target’s boot ROM code executes on power up.
• Boot ROMs do not contain the VxWorks system under which
your application runs.
• VxWorks system image is an object module on the host.
• The boot ROM code:
• Allows setting of boot parameters.
• Downloads VxWorks into target memory via the network.
• Starts executing VxWorks.

Changing Boot Parameters
• Type “c” at the boot prompt to change the boot parameters
interactively.
• Target boards with NVRAM retain changes after power is
cycled.
• Alternatively, can type boot parameters on a single line
at the boot prompt:
$ei(0,0)columbia:/usr/tor1.0/target/config/mv162/vxWorks
h=90.0.0.70 e=90.0.0.131 u=team1
Keeping this line in a file on the host machine allows cut
and paste (in host’s windowing system) for boot.
• Can also make new boot ROMs with correct default
parameters (see the Reconfiguration chapter).

Rebooting
• Type reboot() at a WindSh prompt
• Type CTRL-X in serial window or UNIX WindSh.
• Press abort button on board
• Press reset button on chassis
• On a power-on or other cold reboot, RAM is zeroed out to
avoid parity errors reading uninitialized memory. A warm
reboot skips this step.
• Typing reboot( ) or CTRL-X generates a warm reboot.
• In a typical VME environment, an abort generates a warm
reboot, while a reset causes a cold reboot for all CPU’s on
the bus.
2-17
Alternative Booting Schemes
• The shared memory network allows a target to boot over
the VMEbus. This scheme is discussed in the appendix.

• Can put VxWorks in ROM. This will be covered in

Alternative Booting Schemes
Other booting schemes discussed in the Programmer’s Guide
include:
• Booting from a local SCSI disk.
• Booting one VxWorks target from another, using FTP server

Alternative Booting Schemes
• Can boot over a serial line using SLIP (Serial Line Interface
Protocol) or CSLIP (Compressed SLIP), or PPP(point-ToPoint Protocol). This is much slower than booting over a fast
network connection such as ethernet
• Using boot parameters obtained by a target from the host via
the BOOTP protocol, the TFTP (Trivial File Transfer Protocol)
can be used to boot.

Configuring VxWorks
How your VxWorks images are configured is governed by information from three sources :
1. The file wind/target/config/all/configAll.h
•defines a base (default) configuration affecting all targets.
2. The file wind/target/config/bsp/Name/config.h
•specifies board-specific configuration for targets built in the directory bspName.
•extends / overrides the base configuration specified in configAll.h.
3. The WindConfig tool , if used,
•includes or excludes optional facilities in VxWorks.
•overrides scaling choices made in configAll.h and config.h.

Accessing Tools
• Use a control panel to manage your Tornado session:
• Create and manage target servers.
• Start Tornado tools
• Invoke online manuals.
• File requests for Technical Support
• Browse relevant Web sites.
• For UNIX hosts, the control panel is the Launcher.
• For PC hosts, the integrated Tornado development
environment serves as the control panel.
2-27
Accessing A Control Panel
• (UNIX Host) To invoke the Launcher from the
command line, use :
% launch &
• (PC Host) To start the Tornado development
environment , select the Tornado icon in the Tornado
program group ( Start => Programs => Tornado ).

Overview
• After booting a target, start its target server.
• Target server provides host-based management of
target resources needed by development tools:
• Dynamic module loading and unloading.
• Host-resident symbol table for target.
• Allocation of memory on target for host tools.
• Gathering of information about objects on target.
• This scheme is flexible:
• Minimizes tool’s impact on target.
• Target server handles communication with the target.
• Tools are independent of the type of communication
link required by target.

Starting the Target Server
After booting a target, you must start a target server
to access the target via Tornado’s tools:
• wtxregd, the registry daemon, should be running
on the WIND_REGISTRY host.
• For target server configuration , use
• the Target menu from the Launcher. (UNIX Host)
• the Tools menu in the Tornado development
environment. (PC Host)

Connecting To Target
• Once the target server is successfully connected to the target,
a diagnostic window will appear with connection information
(provided the Verbose option was specified) :

WDB Agent Configuration
• WDB Agent provides target agency for the Tornado tools:
• Modifying memory.
• Setting break points.
• Examining objects.
• Agent is configurable:
• Specify task, external, or dual debug mode.
• Select communication strategy consistent with target
server back end.
• Set amount of target memory reserved for agent’s use.

Agent Configuration
• By default, INCLUDE_WDB is defined, enabling WDB Agent support.
• Set WDB_MODE to the appropriate debug strategy:
• WDB_MODE_DUAL
- task and system-level agent.
• WDB_MODE_TASK
- task-level agent only.
• WDB_MODE_EXTERN - system-level agent only.
• Set WDB_COMM_TYPE to your communication type. Examples are:
• WDB_COMM_NETWORK
• WDB_COMM_SERIAL
- TCP/IP link.
- serial link.
• Specify the initial size of the agent’s memory pool with WDB_POOL_SIZE.
• Configure the agent’s serial channel (optional).
