Creating a Target Boot Disk with a Graphical User Interface

You use the target boot disk to load and run the xPC Target kernel. After you make changes to the xPC Target environment properties, you need to create or update a target boot disk.

To create a target boot disk for the current xPC Target environment, use the following procedure. Alternatively, see Creating a Target Boot Disk with Command-Line Interface:
