mcx-rtos v.2021.09 Start/Stop/Restart
less than a minute
Normally a Motorcortex application is configured to automatically boot when the machine is powered on. However it may be required for the software to be stopped or restarted in a different mode. This chapter shows how Motorcortex applications can be started, stopped and restarted.
Log into the system from the console using a screen or keyboard or through ssh as described in Remote Access & File Transfer.
Note
If a Virtual Machine is used it is convenient to put Motorcortex into Simulation Mode to prevent errors because there is no hardware connected.
Start
Start the Motorcortex application:
sudo /etc/init.d/motorcortex start
Stop
Stop the Motorcortex application:
sudo /etc/init.d/motorcortex stop
Restart
To restart back to the normal operation run:
sudo /etc/init.d/motorcortex restart
Start Sim
Start the Motorcortex application in simulation mode:
sudo /etc/init.d/motorcortex startsim
Restart Sim
Switching an already running system to simulation mode execute:
sudo /etc/init.d/motorcortex restartsim
