developer. However, a typical development process is more likely to take several
months.
Once the minimal kernel is running, additional drivers may be required for the
intended application. In most cases, these drivers can be added at a later date,
concurrent with application development.
For more information on developing and using drivers with your BSP, see the
VxWorks Device Driver Developer’s Guide.
1.4 Terminology
The following terminology is used in this document:
■
installDir—Within this document, file paths are typically expressed relative to
the top of an installation directory, which is referred to as installDir in all
documentation. All file and directory paths in this manual are relative to the
VxWorks installation directory. For installations based on VxWorks 5.x, this
corresponds to installDir. For installations based on VxWorks 6.0, this
corresponds to installDir/vxworks-6.0/.
■
bspname—In several places within this document, there are references to file
names that are based on the BSP. These filenames have the string bspname
substituted. For example, if you are working on a BSP called acmeBSP, change
any reference to bspname to acmeBSP. For example, bspname.h would become
acmeBSP.h.
■
dev—Where this document refers to devices that the BSP might support, these
devices are generically referred to as dev. In such cases, substitute the name of
each device or device type for dev. For example, if your BSP supports both ATA
and SCSI devices, change sysDev.c to the pair of files sysAta.c and sysScsi.c.
■
projName—Each project must be given a name. When the project is created,
several files are created based on the name given to the newly created project.
These files are referred to as projName.
