Note:

On this page I try to answer as many questions as possible about Tornado II and VxWorks. Some of these problems and answers I found myself or were sent to me by other, but most of them are collected from the newsgroup comp.os.vxworks. All items that were collected this way have a reference to the author, except those who indicated that they preferred not to be mentioned.

If you have any additions to this page or any comments please let me (Johan Borkhuis) know, so I can improve this page.

I did not check all of these items, so I cannot guarantee that they are working, but I did check in the newsgroup to see if there were any indications that they did not work. If so the item is deleted.

A number of items were however created by me. For these I am pretty sure that they are working. It might not be the best solution, but for me they are working. If you have another solution for any of the problems indicated or have problems with one of them please let me know.


Copying:

I got a number of requests for downloadable copies of this site. This would take to much time, and I cannot guarantee that the archive would be acurate.

A better way to download the site is to use a mirroring tool like wget. The command to create a copy with wget is:
wget -m -np http://www.xs4all.nl/~borkhuis/vxworks/vxworks.html
This will download the complete site with all files, but data external to this site.

Downloading is allowed for use on private networks in an unmodified form, but not to put it on a public accessible website!
