Hi,

you need to build a VxWorks Image Project and select the profile BOOT_APP to build your bootloader.
If the PROFILE_BOOTAPP is not available for selection during the VxWorks BootApp Project creation, it's probably because the VxWorks Source Build chosen previously was SMP. The BootApp requires a Uniprocessor (UP) source build project. Steps are

VxWorks BootApp image is created using a VxWorks Kernel Image project and the
PROFILE_BOOTAPP in the Workbench Development Environment as follows:

1. Right click the Project Explorer view and select New > Wind River Workbench
Project.

2. Select Kernel image from the build type drop-down list.
Click Next to continue.

3. In the Project name field, enter a name for the project.
e.g. XXXX.

Leave Create project in workspace selected and click Next to continue.

4. On the Project Setup screen, choose the following settings using the
drop-down lists:

Based on : a source build project
Project : XXXXX
BSP : YOUR BSP
Toolchain : gnu

NOTE: The VxWorks BootApp requires a Uniprocessor (UP) source build project.

Leave the other Options set to the defaults.

Click Next.

5. Select the PROFILE_BOOTAPP from the Profile drop down list.

6. Click Finish to create the project.

7. Right-click the new project in the Project Explorer and select:

Build > Set Active Build Spec > default_romCompress.

Thanks so much, now some new question I face. I follow the bsp target.ref and get vxworks_romCompress.bin and vxWorks file, I read that I can use grub to boot them, so I install it on my sdcard, and copy that 2 file to my card, I write grub.cfg as follow:
set default=0
set timeout=5
set root=(hd0,1)
terminal console
menuentry "Wind River vxWorks 7" { multiboot (hd0,msdos1)/images/vxWorks sysbootline:gei(0,0)host:vxWorks h=10.10.0.240 e=10.10.0.41:ffffff00 g=10.10.0.1
u=wruser pw=wruser }
////////////////////////////////////////
also I try to chang multiboot (hd0,msdos1)/images/vxWorks_romCompress.bin
////////////////////////////////
when i try it on vmware and set sdcard boot, just show grub choose, I click Wind River vxWorks 7 and nothing happened, do you know what's wrong? Thanks

Hi Jie,

Have you got this issue resolved?
I have got a similar issue, booting stuck at "WARNING: no console will be available to OS"

Thanks,
