Hi, the way i have done this is i've a separate IXP1200 evaluation borad which i connect to teh windows2000 host system through PCI(com port) as werll as ethernet port (network), u can connect the target (IXP1200 board) with host(win2000) directly with a cross-over CAT5 cable or throgh normal procedure through ur network... both these connections are required becoz... 1. Com port is basically for initial configuration , say to set up target and host ip, ftp username and passwd. 2. ethernet port is required to download the vxworks image to the IXP1200 board through an FTP connection.. so u also need to setup an ftp server in host machine...where u slect the boot image of vxworks, so that that can b downloaded in the target.. hope this may help a bit... i'll try to search some files which cd. help u...but currently tht wd b in LAB, so will send u tommarow..probably... Btw where r u frm? which university....?? wht. kinda work is going on there,,,,and r intel personals supporting such work?? regards, Nitin Makhija On Tue, 18 Jan 2005 mahin jeyachandran wrote :
Hi,
I am new to VxWorks and need your best help as possible.
The problem is, I have installed the ENP2505 board ( Host and Target are two seperate Windows 2000 machines, connected to each other by a serial cable (COM1 Port)). The target board (ENP2505) is in the PCI slot of the target Windows 2000 Machine. I did not connect the Target board to network. I set the ENP2505 board mode of booting to VxWorks Module.
After the above setup, I opened Hyperterminal (COM1 Port) in Host Machine. Then I powered ON the target system. Now I get some thing like the following
Init IXF440 MAC Addresses: succeeded. booting.. VxWorks Board Rev.: 00000000 CPLD Rev.: 000000B4 Value of Personality Register is 00000002 BSP IXP Version: 1.3.141, built on Aug 6 2002, 11:25:30 CPU ID: 6901C124 CPU Speed: 233 MHz Early serial debug initialized

it goes on booting like this continuously. I don't know why !!?. If any of you had the same problem pls let me know where I went wrong. Also if possible kindly provide me with the initial seeting and booting VxWorks.
Also here are some observation.. when I power on the target Windows 2000 Machine( the one that has ENP2505 board in its PCI slot)... I notice the LEDs glowing in ENP board , but there is no display in the MONITOR of the target Machine.
I have Tornado, IXA SDK and ENP sdk.. I installed tornado first, IXA and then ENP SDK in my Host Win 2000 Machine... I also installed BSP for StrongArm in my Host system.
Also if possible please provide me with reference materials if possible... your help in appreciated.
I know that I make a simple mistake always... but I culdn't figure out.. Please help me.
Expecting your reply.
Thanks a lot for your help. Regards, Mahin. _______________________________________________ ixp1200 mailing list ixp1200@lists.cs.princeton.edu https://lists.cs.princeton.edu/mailman/listinfo/ixp1200
