xPC Target Embedded Option Modes
4-7
- xpcboot.com — Contains the xPC Target boot executable. This file
executes an xPC Target application and executes the
*.rtb file.
-
autoexec.bat — xPC Target version of this file that calls the xpcboot.com
executable to boot the xPC Target kernel.
8 Move the boot disk to the target PC.
9 Set up the target PC boot device such as a 3.5 inch disk, flash disk, or a hard
disk drive. Transfer the contents of the boot disk to the target PC boot
device.
10 Boot the target PC.
When you boot the target PC, the target PC loads DOS, which then calls the
xPC Target
autoexec.bat file to start the xPC Target kernel (*.rtb) and
associated target application. If you set up the boot device to run the xPC
Target
autoexec.bat file upon start-up, the target application starts
executing as soon as possible. The xPC Target application executes entirely
in protected mode using the 32-bit flat memory model.
Note This mode does not require any connection between the host PC and
target PC.
With StandAlone mode, the target PC does not communicate with the host PC.
If you want to track signals on the target PC monitor, your target PC hardware
configuration needs to include a monitor. To trace signals, you must add xPC
Target scopes to the application before you build and transfer it to the target
PC. See “Adding Target Scope Blocks to Stand-Alone Applications” on
page 4-18.
If you do not want to view signals on the target PC, you do not need a monitor
for the target PC, nor do you need to add target scopes to the application. In
this instance, your xPC Target system operates as a black box without a
monitor, keyboard, or mouse. Stand-alone applications are automatically set to
continue running for an infinite time duration or until the target computer is
turned off.
