targetName [backend specific options]
The target server is the Tornado component that allows development tools, such as the
shell (see windsh) or a debugger, to communicate with a remote target system, such as
VxWorks. The Tornado tools are autonomous programs running on a cross-development
host. They are attached to a particular target server when they begin executing.
The server communicates with the target system through an interface called the target
agent. This agent is either integrated with the target system (for instance, as a task), or
independent from it. When tgtsvr is started, it identifies the target agent by means of the
only required argument: the name of a target board running the target agent.
The name of the target board is linked with the name of the host machine where the target
server runs, to form a unique identifier used throughout the working session by all tools.
This name is recorded in the name database of the Tornado Service Registry (see wtxregd).
The form of this identifier is targetName@serverHost. For instance, tPad@aven refers to the
target named tPad as represented by a target server running on the host aven.
An alternative target name, however, may be specified with the -n option if the board
name is already in use.
Tools may use truncated identifiers, if the short names match a unique name among all
names registered by the Tornado Registry (see launch and wtxregd). Any unique
substring in the board name is sufficient, and the “@” extension may be omitted as well.
The target server gets requests from the Tornado tools. These requests, depending on their
type, may either be satisfied by the target server itself, or require that the target server in
turn send requests to the target agent.
