Booting IOCs and startup files
For Systems that do not support soft links the following is necessary
The boot parameters must contain:
file name : <full path namevxWorks>
startup script: <full path name to startup script>
For example
file name :home/phoebus/MRK/examplePerl/bin/mv167/vxWorks
startup script:home/phoebus/MRK/examplePerl/iocBoot/iocexample/st.cmd
The st.cmd file must be of the form:
cd "<full path name to ioc directory>"
...
dbLoadDatabase("../../dbd/<xxx>App.dbd")
dbLoadRecords("../../xxxApp/Db/xxx.db")
...
For systems that do support soft links the following is possible
The boot parameters can be:
file name :/home/phoebus/MRK/examplePerl/iocBoot/iocexample/vxWorks
startup script:st.cmd
The st.cmd file can be of the form:
cd "<full path name to ioc directory>"
...
dbLoadDatabase("dbd/<xxx>App.dbd")
dbLoadRecords("xxxApp/Db/xxx.db")
In addition if the APS board support mods are in effect the cd command
is not necessary.
If NFS is desired then:
