Following the "Ethernet Evaluation System User's Guide": I am trying to get a VxWorks image to load on the chip, but am having no success. Maybe someone has a suggestion as to what I should expect or am not doing. I have configured the system as follows:
[VxWorks Boot]: p
boot device : eeE unit number : 0 processor number : 0 host name : scout-7 file name : vxWorks inet on ethernet (e) : 128.xx.yy.100 host inet (h) : 128.xx.yy.27 flags (f) : 0x80 target name (tn) : ixp1200
By which I am intending that it should fetch the "vxWorks" file (the one provided in /boardsuppoort/bin/vb on the CD) from the machine scout-7(128.xx.yy.27) via TFTP. It may use the IP address 128.xx.yy.100. However, trying a load command results in:
[VxWorks Boot]: l
boot device : eeE unit number : 0 processor number : 0 host name : scout-7 file name : vxWorks inet on ethernet (e) : 128.xx.yy.100 host inet (h) : 128.xx.yy.27 flags (f) : 0x80 target name (tn) : ixp1200
Early serial debug initialized muxLoad failed! muxLoad
[VxWorks Boot]:
Thinking this might be the wrong boot device since the boot help says:
[VxWorks Boot]: ?
... help stuff omitted ...
n netif - print network interface device address
... help stuff omitted ...
available boot devices:Enhanced Network Devices dc0 eeE0 [VxWorks Boot]:
I tried dc0 as well, with the same results. Then I tried the following:
[VxWorks Boot]: n dc0 Network interface dc unknown. Cannot initialize interface named "dc0" [VxWorks Boot]: n eeE0 Network interface eeE unknown. Cannot initialize interface named "eeE0" [VxWorks Boot]:
Repeating this process with a packet sniffer on, we did not see anything that looked like it came from the system. I think I am stuck. Any suggestions? Thanks, Tammo
