Being a cross development system, Tornado/VxWorks provides files intended
for use and/or execution on both one's host (the system on which you write,
compile and debug programs) and the target (the system that will eventually
execute those programs without the aid of the host). As you will have
guessed. the host files are stored in the host directory and the target
files in the target directory.

Files intended to execute on an x86 processor under a 32-bit version of
Windows(tm) are stored in host/x86-win32/bin. torvars.bat is a script
(batch file) that sets environment variables and stuff so that one can
execute other Tornado related programs in a DOS window/command prompt.

target/src/drv/end contains enahnced network device (end) driver (drv)
source (src) files that might be used for one's target.

target/lib/pentium/common contains library files that might be used on a
pentium target.

Learning one's way around these and other directories is one of the many
things that turns a VxWorks rookie into an experienced user. Another is
learning one's way around the documentation. This can be initially very
frustrating.

HTH!

Thanks very much ? Would you please tell me where I can found
the information for this ?
As you konw , there are not only the "torVars.bat" under the
"host/x86-win32/bin"directory, there are many others, also , there are
many ".a" and ".o" files , what are their exactly usage, and that
paper mentioned a command "arpentium -ra iOlicomEnd.o libdrv.a
ln97xEnd.o", what is the "arpentium " means , is there other command
like this ?

Sorry to be boring, I really puzzle of these.

No, I cannot. I first learned about the directory structure and stuff like
tovars.bat from a Wind River field engineer and by taking the WR's Tornado
class. I honestly don't know where in the documentation this might be
described.

I cannot tell yo anythhing about the ".a" and ".o" files. "arpentium" is
the Pentium version of the GNU utility "ar" which is an archiver/librarian.
If you installed support for a Power PC, for example, you would find that
a new utility named "arppc" would appear. There are a dozen or so GNU
utilities that are used to compile and link source files and to manage
and process the object and list files that are generated. These utilities
are documented in the GNU Toolkit User’s Guide manual.

I know how it is. There is a lot to learn when first using Tornado and
VxWorks. Remember, though, that most, if not all, of what you need to know
is in the documentation! I prefer to use the "online" docs that can
be accessed through the Tornado help menu because you can search them for
keywords rather than trying to use the indeces of the several printed
manuals.

Your life WILL become much easier after you learn to use the docs!

Perhaps I should have used another term, as I suspect I have raised hopes
of WWW access to VxWorks/Tornado docs. I was, instead, referring to the
HTML docs installed on hosts and accessible via Toarnado's "Help" menu.
