All, I am trying to boot the IXP1200 board but I simply can not do it, since the 'bootixp' script calls minicom program and then it gets stuck. Likewise, a message appears on the screen saying that minicom has not found the configuration file. Can anyone please tell me how to solve this problem? Thanks a lot! Regards, Jo Ueyama
Hi Jo,
Maybe your system is not configured to run the script.
Try a manual boot instead of using 'bootixp'.
(1) Start minicom on the Linux host and configure it
- the COM port to which your serial cable from the ENP2505 is hooked up
- baud rate 38400bps
- Databit 8 Parity N Stopbits 1
- flow control none
## You should see the message "Press any key to stop host download" in your
minicom window
(2) From the 'bin' directory under the ENP tree, type "./bootbv'' on the
linux host
## In the minicom window, you will see that the IXP1200 has booted
(3) In the minicom window, login as 'root'. You will not need a passwd
At the prompt, change the directory to /lib/modules and type "insmod
pciDg-arm.o"
## You will see some text appear on your screen
(4) On the linux host,
insmod pciDg.o
insmod pciDgNet.o
ifconfig eth1 192.168.0.4 ## this assumes u have a single NIC on your
machine -eth0
(5) In the minicom window,
insmod pciDgNet-arm.o
ifconfig lo 127.0.0.1
ifconfig eth0 192.168.0.2
You should be able to ping b/w the host and the target now
cheers,

Hi Jo, We had a problem like that because there was a path that was missing in our PATH environment variable; at this moment I do not remember exactly which one, but you can take a look at the starting scripts to see what commands they are invoking, and checking that they are located in folders included in the PATH variable. Hope this help you Jorge Hermosillo Jo Ueyama ha escrito:
