<A NAME="3"><!-- Empty --></A>
<H2>3 VxWorks</H2>
<P> This chapter describes the OS specific parts of OTP which relate
to VxWorks.
<A NAME="3.1"><!-- Empty --></A>
<H3>3.1 Introduction</H3>
<P> The Erlang/OTP distribution for VxWorks is limited to what
Switchboard requires (Switchboard is a general purpose
switching hardware developed by Ericsson).
<P> Please consult the README file, included at root level in the
installation, for latest information on the distribution.
<A NAME="3.2"><!-- Empty --></A>
<H3>3.2 Memory Usage</H3>
<P> Memory required is 32 Mbyte.
<A NAME="3.3"><!-- Empty --></A>
<H3>3.3 Disk Usage</H3>
<P> The disk space required is 22 Mbyte, the documentation included.
<A NAME="3.4"><!-- Empty --></A>
<H3>3.4 Installation</H3>
<P> OTP/VxWorks is supplied in a distribution file named
<CODE><PREFIX>.tar.gz</CODE>; i.e. a tar archive that is
compressed with gzip. <CODE><PREFIX></CODE> represents the
name of the release,
e.g. <CODE>otp_LXA12345_vxworks_cpu32_R42A</CODE>. Assuming you are
installing to a Solaris file system, the installation is
performed by following these steps: <
<P>
<P>
<UL>
<LI>
Change to the directory where you want to install
OTP/VxWorks (<CODE><ROOTDIR></CODE>): <CODE>cd <ROOTDIR></CODE>
</LI>
<LI>
Make a directory to put OTP/VxWorks in: <CODE>mkdir
otp_vxworks_cpu32</CODE> (or whatever you want to call it)
</LI>
<LI>
Change directory to the newly created one: <CODE>cd
otp_vxworks_cpu32</CODE>
</LI>
<LI>
Copy the distribution file there from where it is located
(<CODE><RELDIR></CODE>): <CODE>cp
<RELDIR>/<PREFIX>.tar.gz .</CODE>
</LI>
<LI>
Unzip the distribution file: <CODE>gunzip <PREFIX>.tar.gz</CODE>
</LI>
<LI>
Untar <CODE><PREFIX>.tar</CODE>: <CODE>tar xvf <PREFIX>.tar</CODE>
</LI>
<LI>
Create a bin directory: <CODE>mkdir bin</CODE>
</LI>
<LI>
Copy the VxWorks Erlang/OTP start-up script to the bin directory:
<CODE>cp erts-Vsn/bin/erl bin/.</CODE>
</LI>
<LI>
Copy the example start scripts to the bin directory:
<CODE>cp releases/R42A/*.boot bin/.</CODE>
</LI>
</UL>
<P> If you use VxWorks nfs mounting facility to mount the Solaris
file system, this installation may be directly used. An other
possibility is to copy the installation to a local VxWorks DOS
file system, from where it is used.
<A NAME="3.5"><!-- Empty --></A>
<H3>3.5 OS Specific Functionality/Information</H3>
<P> There are a couple of files that are unique to the VxWorks
distribution of Erlang/OTP, these files are described here.
<P>
<UL>
<LI>
README - this files has some information on VxWorks
specifics that you are advised to consult. This includes the
latest information on what parts of OTP are included in the
VxWorks distribution of Erlang/OTP. If you want us to
include more parts, please contact us to discuss
this.
</LI>
<LI>
erts-Vsn/bin/resolv.conf - A resolver configuration EXAMPLE file.
You have to edit this file.
</LI>
<LI>
erts-Vsn/bin/erl - This is an EXAMPLE start script for VxWorks.
You have to edit this file to suit your needs.
</LI>
<LI>
erts-Vsn/bin/erl_io - One possible solution to the problem
of competing Erlang and VxWorks shell. Contains the function
'start_erl' called by the erl script. Also contains the
function 'to_erl' to be used when connecting to the Erlang
shell from VxWorks' shell.
</LI>
<LI>
erts-Vsn/bin/erl_exec - Rearranges command line arguments
and starts Erlang.
</LI>
<LI>
erts-Vsn/bin/vxcall - Allows spawning of standard VxWorks
shell functions (which is just about any function in the
system...) from open_port/2. E.g. open_port({spawn, 'vxcall
func arg1 arg2'}, []) will cause the output that 'func arg1,
arg2' would have given in the shell to be received from the
port.
</LI>
<LI>
erts-Vsn/bin/rdate - Set the time from a networked host,
like the SunOS command. Nothing Erlang-specific, but nice
if you want date/0 and time/0 to give meaningful values (you
also need a TIMEZONE environment setting if GMT isn't
acceptable). For example: <CODE>putenv
"TIMEZONE=CET::-60:033002:102603"</CODE> sets central european
time.
</LI>
<LI>
erts-Vsn/src - Contains source for the above files, and
additionally config.c, driver.h, preload.c and
reclaim.h. Reclaim.h defines the interface to a simple
mechanism for "resource reclamation" that is part of the
Erlang runtime system - may be useful to "port program" writers (and
possibly others). Take careful note of the caveats listed in
the file!
</LI>
</UL>
<A NAME="3.6"><!-- Empty --></A>
<H3>3.6 Starting Erlang</H3>
<P> Start (and restart) of the system depends on what file system
is used. To be able to start the system from a nfs mounted
file system you can use VxWorks start script facility to run a
start script similar to the example below. Note that the
Erlang/OTP start-up script is run at the end of this script.
