Migration of Mailing list to Mailman
by Scott Karlin 09 Dec '03

09 Dec '03

The ixp1200 mailing list will migrate from majordomo to Mailman in the next day or two. We will be migrating the archive as well. Because there are so many addresses on the subscription list that bounce, I am asking that everyone who is interested in remaining on the list, explicitly sign-up for the new list here: https://lists.cs.princeton.edu/mailman/listinfo/ixp1200 Thanks, Scott Karlin

IXP1200 - Replicating microblocks across microengines
by John Bradford Woodfin 09 Dec '03

09 Dec '03

Can anyone provide me with any information about replicating microblocks across multiple microengines on the IXP1200, either at start up or during execution? The SDK seems to prevent loading copies of a microcode file onto multiple microengines at startup, and ix_res_open is not calling its callback when I try to open a channel to the resolver in order to create a new microace at runtime. Thanks, John Woodfin

Hi, I would be grateful if someone could guide me on this part: So far i have done the following things: 1.Installed all the rpms from the /rpms directory. 2.Installed minicom and i can see a cygmon prompt. 3.Installed xinetd, tftp,tftp-server. i started the /etc/rc.d/init.d/xinetd start The ramdisk_img.gz and zImage are in the /opt/ixasdk/executive/bin directory. I am not using a separate machine to load the ramdisk and zImage. At the cygmon the local IP and remote IP are both the same machine/localhost,set the countdown value to 10,saved the config to flash memory and then did a gl to boot linux but it keeps giving me a failed to initialize tftp transfer,check network connection and IP addr error. Then i tried to tftp from the cygmon prompt by doing : cygmon>tftp 140.192.37.19 140.192.37.19 /opt/ixasdk/executive/bin/zImage c4008000 It still gives the same error. Any suggestions?

[ixp] separate uofs for microengines
by P.J.Simoons 03 Dec '03

03 Dec '03

Hello we're having some confusion here with different microengines. Specifically, it should be possible to load an UOF file on ME 1, and another file on ME 2, but we haven't been able to figure out how. Also, does anyone know how the compiler handles variable allocation? If two different UOF files both use a set of variables, it may be the case that the compiler places both sets in overlapping parts of memory, thus causing all sorts of problems. Any suggestions on how to overcome this? Thanks, Pieter
