Learning Objectives

#

After this section you will be able to:

• Define what a host and target are.
• Explain how a connection is made between the host and target.
• Describe how to configure the target hardware.

All VxWorks projects are different, but they all require hardware configuration.

Configuring the Hardware

#

You have already learned that VxWorks is a real-time operating system but how do you develop with the OS? I’ll show you how to configure and set up a connection from a host to a target.

When you are configuring your hardware, it is important to ensure compatibility between the CPU and the target board.

Here are a few examples of what the board and CPU combinations might look like:

• Board: xlnx_zynqmp_3_0_0_1
• CPU: ARMARCH8A
• Board: fsl_p1p2_4_0_0_1
• CPU: PPCE500V2
• Board: ti_sitara_a15_3_0_0_1
• CPU: CORTEX_A15
