Stand-Alone Target Applications
4-15
Creating a Target Boot Disk for Stand-Alone
After making a bootable DOS boot disk, the file autoexec.bat file must contain
at least the following line
xpcboot model.rtb
where model is the name of your Simulink model.
These files should be copied to your DOS boot disk and inserted into the target
drive. By rebooting the target PC, DOS is booted from the boot disk. The
autoexec.bat file invokes the command string shown above which starts the
kernel and the real-time application. Because of the stand-alone nature of the
executed
rtb file, the simulation of the xPC Target application starts
immediately. Interaction between the host PC and target PC is no longer
possible.
Is also possible to transfer the DOS system and stand-alone xPC Target
applications to a hard disk or a flash RAM board. This offers great flexibility in
creating self-starting stand-alone applications.
Using Target Scope Blocks with Stand-Alone
When using xPC Target Embedded Option with StandAlone mode, you can
also use target scopes for tracing signals and displaying them on the target
screen.
Because host-to-target communication is not supported with the
StandAlone
mode, scope objects of type
target must be defined within the Simulink model
before the xPC Target application is built.
