Creating a Target Boot Disk with Command Line
Interface
You use the target boot disk to load and run the xPC Target kernel.
After you make changes to the xPC Target environment properties, you need
to create or update a boot disk. To create a target boot disk for the current xPC
Target environment, use the following procedure:
1 In the MATLAB window, type
xpcbootdisk
xPC Target displays the following message.
Insert a formatted floppy disk into your host PC’s
disk drive and press any key to continue.
2 Insert a formatted floppy disk into the host PC disk drive, and then press
any key.
The write procedure starts and while creating the boot disk, the MATLAB
command window displays the following status information. On Windows
NT systems, the status information is displayed only at the end of the write
process.
