4.3.2. Using the VFS with a pre-built RTSM

The VFS is added to an RTSM at build time. The supplied EB RTSMs include the necessary VFS components. This allows you to run a Linux image, for example, on the EB RTSM and access the filesystem running on your computer.

Mount names

Once the target OS is running, create a mount point, such as /mnt/host. For example, on a Linux target, use the mount command as follows:

mount -t vmfs A /mnt/host

You can then access the host filesystem from the target OS through a supported filesystem operation. See VFS operations.

Note

If you have the Fast Models product installed, see also the ReadMe.txt file in the %PVLIB_HOME%\VFS2\linux\ directory.

Path names

All path names must be fully qualified paths of the form:

mountpoint:/path/to/object
