Learn VXWORKS-SCRIPTS with Real Code Examples

Install VxWorks RTOS and Wind River Workbench

Enable scripting support and shell access

Configure paths for script storage and execution

Verify connectivity to target embedded hardware

Test simple initialization script for functionality

Install VxWorks RTOS and Workbench

Enable shell or scripting interface

Configure paths for scripts and logs

Connect target hardware

Test scripts in simulation or on target

Script files (.c, .tcl, .py)

Hardware configuration files

Network and peripheral setup scripts

Test harness and batch execution scripts

Logging and debug configurations

vxworks.exe /runscript - execute script on target

vxworks.exe /loadtask - load and start task

vxworks.exe /loaddriver - initialize device driver

vxworks.exe /batch - execute multiple scripts

vxworks.exe /log - capture script execution logs

Script logic is language-independent

Numeric and unit handling follows RTOS conventions

Logs and reports can be localized

Scripts can adapt to multiple hardware configurations

Consistent API across supported VxWorks versions

Execute scripts locally or remotely on target boards

Cross-platform execution depending on RTOS build

Share scripts across engineering teams

Documentation and examples available from Wind River

Remote automation possible with Workbench or CI/CD integration

Scripts primarily affect RTOS behavior, not UI

Can control command-line output and logging

No GUI manipulation unless through Workbench

Generate automated reports or test outputs

Update target system state programmatically

Task and semaphore states

Peripheral and hardware status

Parameter values for scripts

External data references

Script execution logs

Store configuration and parameter files

Log task and script results

Track system initialization success/failure

Integrate with CI/CD or PLM for embedded projects

Maintain version control for scripts
