xpcbootdisk - Create xPC Target boot disk or DOS Loader files and confirm current environment properties

Synopsis

MATLAB command line

xpcbootdisk

Description

Function to create an xPC Target boot floppy, CD or DVD boot image, network boot image, or DOS Loader files for the current xPC Target environment. Use the setxpcenv function to set environment properties.

• Creating an xPC Target boot floppy consists of writing the bootable kernel image onto the disk. You are asked to insert an empty formatted floppy disk into the 3.5-inch disk drive. At the end, a summary of the creation process is displayed.

• Creating an xPC Target CD/DVD boot image consists of creating the bootable kernel image in a designated area. You can then burn the files to a blank CD/DVD. If you have Microsoft Windows Vista™ or Microsoft Windows^® XP Service Pack 2 or 3 with Image Mastering API v2.0 (IMAPIv2.0), xpcbootdisk offers to create to the CD or DVD. Otherwise, you must use alternate third-party CD/DVD writing software to write ISO image files.

• Creating an xPC Target network boot image consists of running xpcnetboot to start the network boot server process.

• Creating xPC Target DOS Loader files consists of creating the files in a designated area. You can then copy the files to the target computer flash disk.

If you update the environment, you need to update the target boot floppy, CD boot image, network boot image, or DOS Loader files for the new xPC Target environment with the function xpcbootdisk.

Examples
