I guess you tried to erase the flash then write to it as well. peggy -----Original Message----- From: Sandeep P [mailto:sandeep.padmanabhan@asu.edu] Sent: Friday, June 14, 2002 2:23 AM To: ixp1200(a)CS.Princeton.EDU Subject: [ixp1200] Problem with programming the flash Hi All, I am currently trying to program IXP1200 flash with the Intel firmware.

RE: [ixp1200] Image file for Intel supplied firmware needed.

You should already have this! The original flash image is in the IXA SDK under the name boot1200.bin under IXP1200/boardsupport/bin/vb Raghu -----Original Message----- From: Sandeep P [mailto:sandeep.padmanabhan@asu.edu] Sent: Thursday, June 13, 2002 1:21 AM To: ixp1200(a)CS.Princeton.EDU Subject: [ixp1200] Image file for Intel supplied firmware needed. Hello All, I accidently erased parts of my flash on the IXP1200EB. I now need the original flash image that Intel ships with this product. Is anybody in possession of the image file for the Intel supplied firmware? It can easily be created using the existing firmware running from flash. I would very much appreciate it if somebody could provide the file. My work has come to a grinding halt because of this problem. Regards, Sandeep.

evaluation board replacement?
by Mirko Benz 12 Jun '02

12 Jun '02

Hi, We are facing some problems with our evaluation boards (B0 step) due to a PCI bug in the IXP. I have heard that one can get these boards upgraded to C0 silicon by INTEL. Is this true? Any pointer? Regards, Mirko Benz

TFTPing problem in Linux
by cheewei 28 May '02

28 May '02

Hallo, My apologies first for asking a question not related to Vera. I am using SDK 2.01 on an IXP1240 (192.168.133.38) and trying to get the Linux kernel to boot up in Cygmon from a remote Linux tftp server (192.168.133.40). I am having the problem of Cygmon stuck at the message: TFTPing /tftpboot/zImage... the moment I issued a glinux command without returning a login prompt on the remote shell. My config is as follows: Local IP (192.168.133.40) Remote IP (192.168.133.38) Linux kernel file name (zImage) Linux ramdisk file name (ramdisk_img.gz) Linux kernel load offset (C4008000) sram size : 4k dram size: 0x6FFF000 Upstream win:1M Next, I tried out from Cygmon: tftp 192.168.133.38 192.168.133.40 /tftpboot/ramdisk_img.gz 0xc1000000 but the same problem occurs. It stops at TFTPing /tftpboot/ramdisk_img.gz... In fact, I can ping to the target when this message appears and an "tftp unreachable" packet was also captured. I don't quite understand this because I am sure the TFTP server is working correctly as I could get the file 'zImage' or 'ramdisk_img' that I want from the Linux server onto the WinNT (192.168.133.133) which is also hooked to the same subnet for the purpose of Workbench development by issuing a "tftp 192.168.133.38 GET /tftpboot/zImage". I am running the server on Linux 7.2. The TFTP's port is enabled and ipchain service is switched off. I appreciate if anyone could offer me a pointer or solution to that and how I could reach the stage of remote login prompt. kind regards, cheewei

NFS from IXP1200 Linux to external Windows 2000 server
by Dave McCooey 23 May '02

23 May '02

Hi, We are having difficulty trying to NFS-mount from the IXP1200 Linux client to our Windows 2000 server, and we'd like to know if anyone has succeeded in doing this. We've tried three different NFS servers on Windows 2000: (1) The OMNI NFS Server provided by Intel (2) The TrueGrid public domain NFS server (3) A demo version of nfsAxe from LabF The NFS client usually just hangs in the mount command, but sometimes the failure mode is for it to print the message: "nfs: server 172.16.2.14 not responding, still trying". Occasionally, the mount command will complete, but attempting to do an "ls" in the mounted directory will hang. We have also tried using an NFS server on Linux, but that doesn't change anything, so we suspect the problem is with the IXP1200 Linux download image. The image files (zImage and ramdisk_img.gz) provided with IXA SDK 2.01 are different than those provided with IXA SDK 2.0, but both fail the same way with regard to NFS mounting. If someone has succeeded in getting this to work, then at least we'll know that the problem is on our end. Regards, Dave

problem while flashing princeton firmware
by Scott Baker 15 May '02

15 May '02

Hello, We attempted to flash the princeton firmware onto an IXP1200 board and ran into a problem. We ran futil as described in the readme, using the image file "~/Runtime/ixp1200/sa/src/Firmware/flashImage.bin". Futil had no problems sending the data to the IXP, and we got a "sending data 100%" message. However, in the next step where Futil went to update the flash, it stopped at "update flash 0%" and had a timeout. After this, the board has been locked up displaying an '88' code. We are unable to talk to the board via serial. We've also tried re-jumpering it and installing it in a linux PC using the vera module, but the vera module can't talk to it either. Is there a way to recover from this or is the flash corrupted? Thanks, Scott
