This appendix contain target specific documentations and descriptions.
VxWorks from Wind River Systems is a RealTime operating system for embedded computers. The JamaicaVM is available for VxWorks 5.4 and the following target hardware:
PowerPC
Sparc
An application created with the Jamaica Builder can be loaded on the VxWorks target like any other VxWorks program. If the target system is configured for disk, FTP or NFS access simply enter the following command on the target shell:
ld < <Filename> |
<Filename> is the complete filename of the created application.
The main entry point for an application build with the Jamaica Builder is jamica_main. In the VxWorks target shell the application can b e started e. g. with:
sp jamica_main,<argument string> |
Optional parameters can be passed to the application as a single C argument string (text enclosed in "). Multiple arguments in the string can be separated by spaces. The start code of the created application parses this string and pass it a standard Java string array to the main method.
