These functions are typically included in a targets BSP's sysLib.c module.
They, and related functions, may or may not be required for a given target.
For example, if one's target hardware can be simply accessed using a
dereferenced pointer then these functions are not required. If, instead,
such accesses require some kind of hardware manipulation, such as setting
a latch or something, then these functions would be where this is done.

I suspect that the example you have used was specific to a particular
target and that target needed such functions. If your target's BSP was
written by someone more experienced in VxWorks and its sysLib.c does not
include the sys I/O functions, then chances are that you can replace that
example use of those functions with more direct access. For example:

typedef char RTC_REG_TYPE
#define RTC_REG_BASE 0x80000000
#define RTC_DATA_OFFSET 1
#define RTC_DATA_REG (RTC_REG_TYPE*)(RTC_REG_BASE + RTC_DATA_OFFSET)


RTC_REG_TYPE rtc_data;

rtc_data = *RTC_DATA_REG;

There are, of course, many other ways one might write this.

Hi ANR,
Please check that the library which has these two functions has been
included while building the VxWorks image.
Which libray the function is available can be found from the tornado
manuals index in the help menu. If it is not found, then the platform
doesnot support it.
You can include the library from the project facility or by defining
the corresponding flag in config.h header file.

Build the VxWorks image again, and download it. Now you try to download
your module and it should work.
