Programming the MVI Module
This chapter describes how to get your application running on the
MVI module. Once an application has been developed using the
backplane and serial APIs, it must be downloaded to the MVI module
in order to run. The application may then be run manually from the
console command line, or automatically on powerup from the
AUTOEXEC.BAT or CONFIG.SYS files.
The following table identifies what this chapter contains and where to
