Setting Up the Hardware for the Axiom CMD565, VxWorks ROM Image Example Target

Problem: I have an Axiom CMD565 evaluation board. How do I set up the hardware for use with LabVIEW Embedded if I would like to use the Axiom CMD565, VxWorks ROM Image example target?

Solution: The Axiom CMD565, VxWorks ROM Image target configuration allows to download your built application into the external flash arrayof the CMD565. The next time the board's power is cycled, your built application automatically comes up. The built application persists in external flash (it will remain until you erase it) memory and it is self contained. This procedure assumes that you have already built your project when targeted to the Axiom CMD565, VxWorks ROM Image target. Follow these steps to download the built image to the external fash array:

1. Configure you board as shown on picture below. This is default axiom configuration that allows to booting Axiom Monitor.



2. Connect COM1 to available COM port of your host machine. Make sure that you use a straight serial cable. A NULL modem cable will not work.
  
3. Launch AxIDE that comes with the board or other communication program (Tera Term) and open connection to serial port the board is connected to. Note that communication settings are: 9600, 8, N, 1, N.
 
4. Power up the Axiom board. The Axiom Monitor should come up.
