Before You Start
Standalone mode combines the target application with the kernel and boots
them together on the target PC from the hard drive (or, alternatively, flash
memory). The host PC does not need to be connected to the target PC.
Before you start, set up your system as described.
1 Create a standard boot disk or network boot image for serial or ne tw ork
communication (depending on your configuration). You will need to do
this so that you can copy your Standalone mode files to the target PC. See
“Serial Communication”, “Network C ommunication”, “Booting Target PCs
from Boot Floppy Disk”, and “xPC Target Boot Options” in the “Installation
and Configuration” chapter of the xPC Target Getting Started Guide.
2 Boot the target PC.
3 Ensu
re that your target PC hard drive is a serial ATA (SATA) or parallel
ATA (
PATA)/Integrated Device Electronics (IDE) drive. The xPC Target
prod
uct supports file systems of type FAT-12, FAT-16, or FAT-32. Ensure
that
the hard drive is not cable-selected and that the BIOS can detect it.
Aft
er you create the stand-alone target a pplication files, you will copy them
to t
he target PC hard drive using the File Transfer Protocol (FTP) functions
of t
he xPC Target file system. Y ou do not need to be familiar with the xPC
Ta
rget file system before you start, but for further information on this feature,
se
e Chapter 9, “Working with Target PC Files and File Systems”.
