MVME 5500/6100: How to flash the VxWorks bootrom?

[Kate Feng]

Hi all,

The instructions  for RTEMS-mvme5500  are simple :

MVME5500> gevEdit mot-script-boot
(Blank line terminates input.)
tftpGet -a4000000 -cxx.xx.xx.xx -sxx.xx.xx.xx -m255.255.254.0 -d/dev/enet0
-fepics/hostname/bin/rtems5500-cexp.bin
netShut
go -a4000000
Update Global Environment Area of NVRAM (Y/N) ? Y
MVME5500>


Note : (cxx.xx.xx.xx  means the client IP address and
        sxx.xx.xx.xx  means the server IP address)


The mvme5500 BSP is being added to the new RTEMS4.7 source tree,
which might take a while. Meanwhile, I posted the  entire
RTEMS-4.6.0 release with the MVME5500 BSP and patches applied at
http://www.nsls.bnl.gov/organization/UserScience/Detectors/Software

It can be downloaded  via :

http://www.nsls.bnl.gov/organization/UserScience/Detectors/Software/rtems-4.6.0_mv5500.tar.gz

Sorry if you think this is irrelevant.


Regards,
Kate
