certain tests. Target-specific parameters use the prefixes T1_ and T2_ to distinguish
one target from another.
Table 7-1 through Table 7-2 summarize the configuration parameters that can be
set in the bspName.T1 or bspName.T2 files. For parameters whose default values are
listed, the default values take effect even if the parameters are not defined. In
addition, you might need to modify configuration parameters for your serial
connections and timeout values. The rest of this section describes these
parameters.
For additional information on the configuration parameters, read the comments in
the bspName.T1 or bspName.T2 files. For information on which parameters are
relevant to specific tests, see the reference entries provided in J. BSP Validation Test
Suite Reference Entries.
Configuring Serial Connections
You might need to modify the following serial-connection parameters to suit your
host:
{T1, T2}_SER_DEVICE
The host name for the serial device connection.
{T1, T2}_SER_BAUD
The baud rate of the serial device connection.
Alternatively, you may specify the serial connection parameters as command line
options in bspVal. See the listing in J. BSP Validation Test Suite Reference Entries for
details.
Configuring Timeout Values
The following configuration parameter determines how long the BSP tests should
wait for VxWorks to boot:
{T1, T2}_TMO_BOOT
Timeout for booting.
If the VxWorks prompt does not appear within the allotted time after attempting
to boot, a FATAL ERROR is logged. Therefore, you might need to increase this
timeout if, for example, the target boots over Serial Line Internet Protocol (SLIP).
Additionally, there are optional timeout parameters associated with individual
tests. These parameters contain the letters TMO in the macro name. You might
need to increase these timeouts for boards with large devices, slow access times, or
both. These parameters are set in the bspName.T1 and bspName.T2 files located in
host/resource/test/bspVal.
