Building VxWorks Image for the Axiom MPC566EVB Board

Primary Software: LabVIEW Modules>>Embedded Development Module
Primary Software Version: 1.0
Primary Software Fixed Version: N/A
Secondary Software: N/A

Problem:
I have the motMPC566evb BSP for Wind River Tornado 5.5.1, but I am having trouble getting it to build in Tornado. What is the process that NI used to build the BSP for the target?

Solution:
Although we cannot offer support for this process, these are the steps that we followed to build a VxWorks Image for the MPC566EVB:

1. File » New Project... » New » Create a bootable VxWorks Image (custom configured).
 
2. Type project name and hit the Next button.
 
3. Select the motMPC566Evb BSP and hit the Next and then the Finish button.
 
4. Click on the Files tab, open the usrAppInit.c file, and declare global variable somaxconn.


/******************************************************************************
*
* usrAppInit - initialize the users application
*/
unsigned long somaxconn;

void usrAppInit (void)
 

5. Click on the VxWorks tab and expand the project tree.
 
6. Right click on the network components leaf and select the parameters for 'network components'.
 
7. Find the END_POLL_STATS_ROUTINE_HOOK parameter and replace its value with the "" string (without quotes).
 
8. Click on the Apply and then the OK button to make change and close the configuration box.
 
9. Go to the Build menu (main Tornado window) and select the Build menu item. The VxWorks image should build without errors.

You can also find the .elf and .s19 files attached below. This image uses TCP/IP for download and debug, and it has static IP address of 10.0.40.251.
