- <section>
- <title>Introduction</title>
- <p>The Erlang/OTP distribution for VxWorks is limited to what
- Switchboard requires (Switchboard is a general purpose
- switching hardware developed by Ericsson).
- </p>
- <p>Please consult the README file, included at root level in the
- installation, for latest information on the distribution.

- <p>The disk space required is 22 Mbyte, the documentation included.

- <section>
- <title>Installation</title>
- <p>OTP/VxWorks is supplied in a distribution file named
- <c><![CDATA[<PREFIX>.tar.gz]]></c>; i.e. a tar archive that is
- compressed with gzip. <c><![CDATA[<PREFIX>]]></c> represents the
- name of the release,
- e.g. <c>otp_LXA12345_vxworks_cpu32_R42A</c>. Assuming you are
- installing to a Solaris file system, the installation is
- performed by following these steps: &lt;
- </p>
- <p></p>
- <list type="bulleted">
- <item>Change to the directory where you want to install
- OTP/VxWorks (<c><![CDATA[<ROOTDIR>]]></c>): <c><![CDATA[cd <ROOTDIR>]]></c></item>
- <item>Make a directory to put OTP/VxWorks in: <c>mkdir otp_vxworks_cpu32</c> (or whatever you want to call it)</item>
- <item>Change directory to the newly created one: <c>cd otp_vxworks_cpu32</c></item>
- <item>Copy the distribution file there from where it is located
- (<c><![CDATA[<RELDIR>]]></c>): <c><![CDATA[cp <RELDIR>/<PREFIX>.tar.gz .]]></c></item>
- <item>Unzip the distribution file: <c><![CDATA[gunzip <PREFIX>.tar.gz]]></c></item>
- <item>Untar <c><![CDATA[<PREFIX>.tar]]></c>: <c><![CDATA[tar xvf <PREFIX>.tar]]></c></item>
- <item>Create a bin directory: <c>mkdir bin</c></item>
- <item>Copy the VxWorks Erlang/OTP start-up script to the bin directory:
- <c>cp erts-Vsn/bin/erl bin/.</c></item>
- <item>Copy the example start scripts to the bin directory:
- <c>cp releases/R42A/*.boot bin/.</c></item>
- </list>
- <p>If you use VxWorks nfs mounting facility to mount the Solaris
- file system, this installation may be directly used. An other
- possibility is to copy the installation to a local VxWorks DOS
- file system, from where it is used.

- <section>
- <title>OS Specific Functionality/Information</title>
- <p>There are a couple of files that are unique to the VxWorks
- distribution of Erlang/OTP, these files are described here.
- </p>
- <list type="bulleted">
- <item>README - this files has some information on VxWorks
- specifics that you are advised to consult. This includes the
- latest information on what parts of OTP are included in the
- VxWorks distribution of Erlang/OTP. If you want us to
- include more parts, please contact us to discuss
- this.</item>
- <item>erts-Vsn/bin/resolv.conf - A resolver configuration EXAMPLE file.
- You have to edit this file.</item>
- <item>erts-Vsn/bin/erl - This is an EXAMPLE start script for VxWorks.
- You have to edit this file to suit your needs.</item>
- <item>erts-Vsn/bin/erl_io - One possible solution to the problem
- of competing Erlang and VxWorks shell. Contains the function
- 'start_erl' called by the erl script. Also contains the
- function 'to_erl' to be used when connecting to the Erlang
- shell from VxWorks' shell.</item>
- <item>erts-Vsn/bin/erl_exec - Rearranges command line arguments
- and starts Erlang.</item>
- <item>erts-Vsn/bin/vxcall - Allows spawning of standard VxWorks
- shell functions (which is just about any function in the
- system...) from open_port/2. E.g. open_port({spawn, 'vxcall
- func arg1 arg2'}, []) will cause the output that 'func arg1,
- arg2' would have given in the shell to be received from the
- port.</item>
- <item>erts-Vsn/bin/rdate - Set the time from a networked host,
- like the SunOS command. Nothing Erlang-specific, but nice
- if you want date/0 and time/0 to give meaningful values (you
- also need a TIMEZONE environment setting if GMT isn't
- acceptable). For example: <c>putenv "TIMEZONE=CET::-60:033002:102603"</c> sets central european
- time.</item>
- <item>erts-Vsn/src - Contains source for the above files, and
- additionally config.c, driver.h, preload.c and
- reclaim.h. Reclaim.h defines the interface to a simple
- mechanism for "resource reclamation" that is part of the
- Erlang runtime system - may be useful to "port program" writers (and
- possibly others). Take careful note of the caveats listed in
- the file!</item>

- <title>Starting Erlang</title>
- <p>Start (and restart) of the system depends on what file system
- is used. To be able to start the system from a nfs mounted
- file system you can use VxWorks start script facility to run a
- start script similar to the example below. Note that the
- Erlang/OTP start-up script is run at the end of this script.
