4 Embedded Option
4-10
The default setting for the option Target boot mode is BootFloppy. When you
are using BootFloppy, xPC Target must first create a target boot disk, which is
then used to boot the target PC.
The option
TargetBoot can be set to two other values, namely DOSLoader or
StandAlone. If the xPC Target loader is booted from any boot device with DOS
installed, the value
DOSLoader must be set as shown above. If you want to use
a stand-alone application that automatically starts execution of your target
application immediately after booting, specify
StandAlone.
The xPC Target environment is updated when you change the value. If your
choice is DOSLoader, you must create a new target boot disk by clicking the
Create BootDisk button. Note that this overwrites the data on the inserted
target boot disk as new software modules are placed on the target boot disk. If
your choice is StandAlone, your environment is updated, but you do not create
a new target boot disk. Upon building your next real-time application, all
necessary xPC Target files are saved to a subdirectory below your current
working directory. This subdirectory is named with your model name with the
string
'_xpc_emb' appended, such as xpcosc_xpc_emb.
