Create xPC Target™ boot disk and confirm current environment properties

Syntax

MATLAB^® command line

xpcbootdisk

Description

Function to create an xPC Target boot floppy for the current xPC Target environment that has been updated with the function updatexpcenv. Creating an xPC Target boot floppy consists of writing the correct bootable kernel image onto the disk. You are asked to insert an empty formatted floppy disk into the 3.5-inch disk drive.

All existing files are erased by the function xpcbootdisk. If the inserted floppy disk already is an xPC Target boot disk for the current environment settings, this function exits without writing a new boot image to the floppy disk. At the end, a summary of the creation process is displayed.

If you update the environment, you need to update the target boot floppy for the new xPC Target environment with the function xpcbootdisk.

Examples
