4. Install the VxWorks boot ROM (or equivalent) in your target.

Normal Operation (repeat to re-initialize target during development)
7. Boot VxWorks on the target. (VxWorks includes a target agent, by default.)
8. Launch or restart a Tornado target server on the host.
NOTE: In general, this manual refers to Tornado directories and files with relative
path names starting at the directory wind. Use the path name chosen on your
system for Tornado installation.
2.2 Setting up the Tornado Registry
Before anyone at your site can use Tornado, someone must set up the Tornado target
server registry, a daemon that keeps track of all available targets by name. The
registry daemon must always run; otherwise Tornado tools cannot locate targets.
Usage of the Tornado registry is initially determined during the software
installation process, based on the installer’s choice of options for the registry. See
the Tornado Getting Started Guide for information about installation.
Only one registry is required on your network, and it can run on any networked
host. It is recommended that a development site use a single registry for the entire
network; this provides maximum flexibility, allowing any Tornado user at the site
to connect to any target.
If there is already a registry running at your site, you do not need the remainder of
this section; just make sure you know which host the registry is running on, and
proceed to 2.3 The Tornado Host Environment, p.20. 1
1. Note that the same registry can serve both UNIX and Windows developers, as long as they
share a local network. Either flavor of host may run the registry; see the Tornado User’s Guide
(Windows version) for instructions on setting up a registry on a Windows host.
