It has to be done before MMU initialization. All sysMmuMapAdd() does is
update the sysPhysMemDesc[] array. This array is used by the MMU
initialization routine. Calling sysMmuMapAdd() again after the system
has already booted has no effect. Note that you can't call usrMmuInit()
a second time, if that's what you're trying to do.

You did not specify what version of VxWorks you have. (You should have.
Please do so in the future). I'm assuming 5.5.x. The sysPhysMemDesc[]
array is used to initialize the MMU via the vmBaseGlobalMapInit()
routine. What you may be able to do is create a new array containing a
description of the new mapping that you want to create and pass that to
vmBaseGlobalMapInit(). I *think* this will set up the new mapping
without affecting existing mappings. I have not tried this myself
though.

Thanks Bill,

Sorry, the VXWorks version is 5.4.

I am trying to call 'sysMmuMapAdd' and 'usrMmuInit' after the system
has booted. I will look into 'vmBaseGlobalMapInit'.
