Notational Conventions


Most of the references to system calls in the text and graphics use C syntax instead
of PL/M (for example, the system call send_message instead of send$message). If
you are working in C, you must use the C header files, rmx_c.h, udi_c.h and
rmx_err.h. If you are working in PL/M, you must use dollar signs ($) and use the
rmxplm.ext and error. lit header files.

This manual uses the following conventions:

• Syntax strings, data types, and data structures are provided for PL/M and C
respectively.

• All numbers are decimal unless otherwise stated. Hexadecimal numbers
include the H radix character (for example, OFFH). Binary numbers include the
B radix character (for example, IIOIIOOOB).

• Bit 0 is the low-order bit. If a bit is set to 1, the associated description is true
unless otherwise stated.

• Data structures and syntax strings appear in this font.

• r? denotes an invisible file.

• System call names and command names appear in this font.

• PL/M data types such as BYTE and SELECTOR, and iRMX data types such as
STRING and SOCKET are capitalized. All C data types are lower case except
those that represent data structures.

• Whenever this manual describes I/O operations, it assumes that tasks use BIOS
calls (such as rq_a_read, rq_a_write, and rq_a_special). Although not
mentioned, tasks can also use the equivalent EIOS calls (such as rq_s_read,
rq_s_write, and rq_s_special) or UDI calls (dq_read or dq_write) to do the
same operations.


iS> Note

Notes indicate important information.

A CAUTION

Cautions indicate situations which may damage hardware or data.

CHOOSING YOUR INSTALLATION


This section helps you decide which iRMX installation procedure to perform. This
chapter is in the section:


Chapter 1.


Introduction





Introduction


Welcome to the iRMX® Family of Operating
Systems!

The iRMX® Operating System runs on Intel386™, Intel486™, Pentium®, and
Pentium Pro microprocessor-based single board computers and other
microcomputers based on these microprocessors. There are three versions of the
iRMX Operating System (OS): iRMX for PCs, iRMX for Windows, and the
iRMX III OS. With any iRMX OS, you can develop applications that require
preemptive, priority-based multitasking and real-time response.

This manual:

• Guides you through the installation procedure appropriate for you

• Shows you how to get help on using the OS

• Shows you how to boot the system and enter simple commands

• Shows you how to get the most from the documentation

Package Inventory

Before installing an iRMX OS, check the contents of your package against the
contents listed in the Customer Letter. Make sure that you have all the tapes,
diskettes, documentation, and other materials. If your package is not complete,
contact Intel Customer Support. In the United States and Canada, call
1-800-257-5404 to contact your Intel Sales Representative or Intel Authorized

Introduction



Registration

Please complete the Product Registration card included with your package.

Sending in your completed registration card enables you to receive telephone
support during the term of the product warranty period.

To register the software, fill out the software registration card and fax it or mail it
to Intel. Your registration number is listed on the registration certificate.

iS> Note

European customers must affix appropriate postage if mailing the
registration. Alternatively, you may fill in the registration card
and fax it to the USA fax number given on the card.

Important “Getting Started” Files

After performing the installation you might want to examine these files:

readme.txt describes known problems and workarounds, and important
last-minute information that did not make it into the manuals.

motes, txt describes incorporation information and lists problems fixed since the
last release.

features.txt describes major and minor changes this release of the operating
system.

You can find each of these files in the top-level directory rmx386 after the
installation is complete.

Deciding Which instaiiation Procedure to Perform

Chapters 2 through 5 present different iRMX OS installation procedures. The one
you use depends on the platform on which you are installing the software and
whether you want to run the iRMX OS concurrently with DOSAVindows or run
iRMX OS exclusively. Use this list to see which install procedure you should
perform:

Chapter 2 Use the install procedure in this chapter if these conditions are true:

• The platform you are installing software on is a PC or
a PC-compatible board in a Multibus I or II system.
PC-compatible boards in a Multibus system include:

SBC PCP4 (Multibus I)

SBC 386/SX (Multibus I)

SBC 486/DX33 (Multibus II)

SBC 486DX66 (Multibus II)

SBC P5090[V] (Multibus II)

• You want the iRMX OS to run concurrently with DOSAVindows
(installation of iRMX for Windows). In this environment,
Windows 3.0, 3.1, and 3.11 are supported. Windows for
Workgroups 3.1 and 3.11 as well as Windows 95 and Windows
NT are not supported in this environment.

or

The platform on which you are performing the installation will be
a purely DOSAVindows-hosted development environment (no
run-time iRMX OS available). DOSAVindows-hosted
environments allow development of loadable iRMX applications
using both Intel and third-party DOSAVindows development
tools. With this environment you cannot run iRMX applications
or fully develop embedded iRMX applications. To run the
applications, you must use a separate system that has an iRMX
OS installed. In this environment, any version of Windows or
Windows for Workgroups is supported.

Chapter 1


Introduction



Chapter 3 Use the install procedure in this chapter if these conditions are true:

• The platform you are installing software on is a PC or

a PC-compatible board in a Multibus system (see the previous list
of boards).

Introduction



Software Licensing Information

As a registered licensee of the iRMX OS developer kit, you can begin development
of your application right away. However, when you are ready to distribute your
application, please follow the instructions below. Because the iRMX OS is an
OEM' software product, Intel assumes that you will be making copies of the
operating system to distribute with your product. Intel requires you to pay a
royalty fee for each copy you make. This section explains how you can make
copies of the software and describes how and when to use Intel Incorporation
Permit Labels and Licenses.

How to Make Copies of the Software

There are two different parts of your development kit software which you may
copy and pass on to your customers: the iRMX OS and the TCP/IP run-time
software. Every run-time copy you make must include the iRMX OS run-time and
requires a royalty fee. The TCP/IP software is optional and requires a separate
royalty fee.

Lirst, you must sign a Software Redistribution License agreement, available from
the iRMX Incorporations Administrator. To contact the Administrator from North
America call 1-800-257-5404 or from any region call 1-503-696-5025 and ask for
the iRMX Incorporations Administrator. After signing the agreement, you can
make run-time copies. The files which can be included in your product are listed in
rnotes.txt. This file may be found, once the iRMX Operating System is installed,
in the /rmx386 directory.

iS> Note

The developer kit contains other software that cannot be copied,
such as the compilers, a debugger, and parts of the networking
software. Contact the Intel Incorporations Administrator if you
need to make copies of these items.


’ OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer): Someone who purchases products, integrates them, adds their
own value, and then sells the integrated product to an end user.

Incorporation Administration and Permit Labels

Prior to redistributing the iRMX run-time software, you must sign a Software
Redistribution License Agreement and purchase an incorporations permit label for
each iRMX or TCP/IP run-time copy that you make. Both of these are available
from the iRMX Incorporations Administrator. To contact the Administrator from
North America call 1-800-257-5404 or from any region call 1-503-696-5025 and
ask for the iRMX Incorporations Administrator. Optionally, you may fax the
Administrator at 1-503-681-8497. In Europe, contact your authorized Intel
distributor for more information.

Affix the labels to a part of the product shipped to your end customer. The labels
may be affixed to the chassis of a system, a diskette, or a manual. The end
customer's site must keep one label for each run-time copy of the iRMX operating
system and one label fo
