This example target configuration expects the VxWorks ROM resident image with a WDB serial connection in the external flash array. You download the object module you build into the external RAM of the board using the WTX protocol. The VxWorks ROM resident image must be in the external flash array, and you must configure the board to boot from the external flash array.

Complete the following steps to download the VxWorks ROM resident image to the external flash array.

1. Configure the Axiom CMD565 board as shown in the following figure. This configuration is the default configuration that allows you to start the Axiom Monitor.

   

2. Connect COM 1 to the available COM port on the host machine using a straight cable. A NULL modem cable does not work.
3. Launch AxIDE or another communication program, Tera Term for example, and open a connection to the serial port. The communication settings are 9600, 8, 1, N.
4. Power on the Axiom board. The Axiom Monitor appears.
5. Press the <3> key to download to the external flash memory.
6. Press the <2> key to select external flash on CS2.
7. Press the <5> key to erase the external flash array.
8. Press the <6> key to program the external flash array.
9. Press the Upload button. Navigate to and run the following file. It takes a few minutes to program the external flash memory.

10. Power off the Axiom board and configure the board as shown in the following figure.

    

11. Power on the Axiom board. The VxWorks logo appears on the terminal. The board is configured and ready to use.
12. Run an example application to verify the setup.
