4 Embedded Option
4-14
c Reboot the target PC. The DOS is booted from the target boot disk and
the
autoexec.bat files, resulting in the automatic execution of the xPC
Target loader. From this point onward, the CPU runs in protected mode
and DOS is discarded.
Otherwise, if you want to boot the target PC from flash memory instead of
the 3.5 inch disk, see “Copying the Kernel to Flash Memory” on page 4-14 for
a description of how to copy the kernel to flash memory. The same procedure
works with flash disks and other boot devices.
Note You can repeat this procedure as necessary. There are no restrictions
on the number of xPC Target boot floppies that you can create. However, xPC
Target and the xPC Target Embedded Option do not include DOS licenses.
You must purchase valid DOS licenses for your target PCs from the supplier
of your choice.
Copying the Kernel to Flash Memory
One method for transferring the kernel files from a host PC to a target PC is to
use an external 3.5 inch disk drive.
After you create boot disk with the kernel files on a host PC, you can copy the
kernel files from the 3.5 inch boot disk to the flash disk. See “Updating
Environment Properties and Creating a Boot Disk” on page 4-12.
1 If there is a 3.5 inch disk in the external disk drive, remove it. On the target
PC, press the
Reset button.
2 Halt the boot process and bring up the DOS prompt. For example, if you see
the message for selecting the operating system to start, select
Microsoft
Windows
.
The boot process is stopped and a DOS prompt is displayed.
3 Insert the boot 3.5 inch disk with the xPC Target kernel into the target PC
external 3.5 inch disk drive.
