Basic steps for VxWorks application development

Assuming the BSP section is ready, let's say the basic steps of developing the application:

1. Starting with a new project from Tornado, you can see that there are two types of images to choose from: Bootable and downloadable, which usually start with a bootable project that does not contain the application-tier module. Compile a vxworks image containing the basic components to start the system; In fact, this step compiles a vxworks kernel containing the basic build, and does not have our application code.

2. Set up a downloadable project in the same workspace as the bootable project above, write and compile the module of application layer in this project, then dynamically download to the target machine to debug;

3. After the application Layer module debugging can be released, the application layer module and the first step of the bootable VxWorks images can be compiled together;
At this point you can add the application-tier code file to Boottable project, add from project, and import the files from downloadable project that contain the application-tier code into bootable project. recompiling bootable project gets a bootable VxWorks image that contains the application layer.

4. Put the final image into the floppy disk, hard disk or FTP server directory, which needs to be based on the Bootline bootrom in the start of the way to decide.
