    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
