Tornado

Setup and Startup
2.1 Introduction
This chapter describes how to set up your host and target systems, how to boot
your target, and how to establish communications between the target and host. It
assumes that you have already installed Tornado.
NOTE: For information about installing Tornado, as well as an introductory
tutorial using the integrated VxWorks target simulator, see the Tornado Getting
Started Guide.
You do not need much of this chapter if all you want to do is connect to a target
that is already set up on your network. If this is the case, read 2.3 The Tornado Host
Environment, p.20 and then proceed to 2.6 Booting VxWorks, p.45.
The process of setting up a new target has the following steps (described in detail
in the remainder of this chapter). Some of these steps are only required once, when
you begin using Tornado for the first time; some are required when you install a
new target; and only the last two are repeated frequently.
Tornado Configuration (once only)
1. Make sure that there is a Tornado registry running at your site.
2. Make sure your host environment includes the right definitions, on the host
system where you attach the target.
Target Configuration (once for each new target)
3. Modify your host network tables so that you can communicate to your target.
