Introduction

Embedded System mode An embedded system is where hardware and software combine to form a component of alarger machine. With RT-Lab, this mode allows the user to store the model onto a stand-alone system, such as one using the PC/104 format. Note: This function is only available for QNX and Neutrino platforms.

Installing the target component of RT-LAB Embedded system on QNX

1- Copy the RT-LAB installer script opinstall. Do this by dragging and dropping from one Window to the other.

2- Copy the RT-LAB archive file rt-lab_e.tgz (in C:\Opal-rt\RT-LAB8.x.x\target\qnx ).

3- Connect to the QNX node by telnet Start -> Run -> "telnet xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx" and login as user “root”

4- Execute the following commands to install the archive: # cd /# textto –l /home/ntuser/opinstall# chmod 775 /home/ntuser/opinstall# /home/ntuser/opinstall /home/ntuser/rt-lab_e.tgz# rm –f /home/ntuser/ rt-lab_e.tgz

Running procedure

Execution

1- For verification usage you should run RT-LAB model in a standard way (Compile, Load, Execute) if you succeed, reopen your model and press “Store Embedded” in the RT-LAB MainControl.

2- If the command is successful you will see this message : “Stored executable file and created startup script”

3- Reboot your target, this time the embedded mode will be enabled. You should see at your target screen, model execution information.

4- If you want to see the model’s console running on your host:•Open a RT-LAB Main Control•Right click on the” Connect button” a select the name of the target where your embedded model is running.•Right-click on “Use model console” in order to start the console of your model. 5- Each time you boot your target, the model execution will start automatically.
