4.2 Target Configuration Parameters
General Parameters
The General Parameter window allows you to define the general operating characteristics
of your AMX system within your target hardware environment. The layout of the
window is shown in Figure 4.1-1 in Chapter 4.1.
CPU Type
Identify your processor architecture by selecting a processor from the available list. This
parameter is used to condition AMX to accommodate the operating characteristics of a
particular processor or architecture. The supported list of processors includes but is not
limited to:
68000, 68008, 68302, 68306, 68328, {68000 core}
68010, 68020, 68030, 68040, 68060, {68020 core}
68330, 68331, 68332, 68340, 68341, 68360, {CPU32 core}
5102 {68040 core}
AMX Launch
Most AMX applications are such that once AMX is launched the application runs
forever. For such applications, check this box. If your AMX launch is to be temporary,
uncheck this box. In this case, you will be able to shut down your AMX application and
return to your main program from which AMX was launched.
Enable Cache at Launch
If the processor or architecture indicated by field CPU Type has cache control, then,
before launching AMX, you must initialize the Memory Management Unit (MMU) to
condition the memory subsystem to meet the caching requirements of your system.
When AMX is launched, if this box is checked, AMX will enable the processor
instruction and data caches by calling the AMX cache support function
cjcfhwbcache.
When AMX is launched, if this box is unchecked, AMX will not alter the state of the
processor instruction or data caches.
If the processor or architecture indicated by field
CPU Type has no cache control, leave
this box unchecked.
