Validation Testing<br />

NOTE: Wind River made several modifications to the Tcl source files, to allow Tcl<br />

to be ported to various hosts. Wind River makes no guarantee regarding the<br />

validity of the changes. Because Tcl is public domain software, it is not completely<br />

supported by Wind River. The porting of Tcl to various hosts is complete to the<br />

extent that the supplied test scripts have been run and tested on the specified hosts.<br />

Any use of Tcl beyond this purpose has not been tested, and is not supported.<br />

7.3.3 System Configuration<br />

This section describes how to configure the host system, the target hardware,<br />

VxWorks, and the <strong>BSP</strong> VTS itself.<br />

Configuring the Host System<br />

In addition to the <strong>BSP</strong> VTS, the host requires the standard Tornado development<br />

environment. For information on configuring the host system, see Tornado User’s<br />

<strong>Guide</strong>: Setup and Startup.<br />

Configuring the Target Hardware<br />

The VxWorks target hardware requires only minimal configuration. The <strong>BSP</strong> VTS<br />

runs in a Tornado environment. For the most part, it uses the target server<br />

connection to communicate with the target. The tests that use console output<br />

require that the serial console be connected to the host. 2 The rlogin, network, and<br />

busTas tests require that the host be connected to two serial consoles.<br />

NOTE: The target server(s) must be up and running before starting the <strong>BSP</strong> VTS.<br />

A few tests, such as error1.tcl and bootline.tcl, must reboot the target. Therefore,<br />

before running <strong>BSP</strong> VTS for the first time, you should boot VxWorks manually to<br />

check that the boot parameters are set correctly. In addition, before starting the <strong>BSP</strong><br />

VTS, make sure the VxWorks target is powered up and responding to the console.<br />

However, the target need not be booted.<br />

2. You must be able to reboot the target and communicate with it over the serial console from<br />

the host. Remember this when you configure and build the boot ROM image for the target.<br />
