Hi, 1. Is tornado a MUST to download the reference designs on the board ? 2. Without Tornado, I tried downloading the default VxWorks image ixp1200/boardsupport/bin/vp/vxworks_gig on the board and landed into the errors. Here is how the output looks like Attached TCP/IP interface to eeE0. Attaching network interface lo0... done. o Loading... 8488 + 14136 + 228816 Starting at 0x1000...
