Experimental Physics and
Industrial Control System

Hello All,

I was just investigating what options there are for booting
vxWorks applications locally, rather than across the network and
was wondering if any sites are already doing this?

It seemed that one option is to use a SCSI device with a DOS file
system attached.

Is anyone using Compact Flash or any other type of local memory?
I am really interested in solutions for the MVME-2700 and
the MVME-5500 (in the future).

What we are trying to achieve is faster local boots, reducing the
network traffic at system startup.

Many thanks for any comments and/or examples.

Cheers,

Andy
