4 Embedded Option

Updating the xPC Target Environment
After the xPC Target Embedded Option software has been correctly installed,
the xPC Target environment, visible through
xpcsetup or getxpcenv, contains
new property choices for
DOSLoader or StandAlone, in addition to the default
BootDisk that is normally used with xPC Target.
It is assumed that the xPC Target environment is already set up and working
properly with the xPC Target Embedded Option disabled. If you have not
already done so, we recommend you confirm this now.
You can use the function
getxpcenv to see the current selection for
TargetBoot, or you can view this through the xPC Target Setup window. Start
MATLAB and execute the function
xpcsetup
Within the frame of the xPC Target Embedded Option, you see the property
TargetBoot, as well as the currently selected value. The choices are:
•
BootFloppy — Standard mode of operation when xPC Target Embedded
Option is not installed.
•
DOSLoader — For invoking the kernel on the target PC from DOS.
•
StandAlone — For invoking the kernel on the target PC from DOS and
automatically starting the target application without connecting to a host
computer. With this mode, the kernel and the target application are
combined as a single module that is placed on the boot device.
