[ixp1200] princeton roms on a rev Bixp1200 Eth. Eval. Board.

[Andrew Moore]

Hi,

I've been attempting to get VERA up on a board with rev B arm core (at
least its what I had always thought was a REV B - this may be the
problem)

Possibly there are many more versions of the IXP1200 Ethernet Evaluation
Board than I realised and I may be stuck with one that will never fly...

I've been following the "update the flash" instructions
(http://www.cs.princeton.edu/nsg/vera/README.flash.txt)

However everything is fine until futil, 
Instead of getting
     C:\>FUtil -c 1 -n -a 0 -o 0 -e 200000 -f FILE.bin
          Flash Utility, Version 1.2.76
          FlashUtil, Version 1.2.76
          CPU Revision: 6901C123
          Flash Width: 32
          Flash Bank Size: 2048 KBytes
          Flash Type Bank[0]: 28F800B3-B
          Flash Type Bank[1]: 28F160B3-T
          Flash Type Bank[2]: 28F160B3-T
          Flash Type Bank[3]: 28F160B3-T
          Sending data to remote system...
           Percent complete: 100
          Updating flash...
           Percent Complete: 100
          done

I get

C:\> FUtil -c 1 -n -a 0 -o 0 -e 200000 -f flashImage.bin
Flash Utility, Version 2.01.112
FlashUtil, Version 1.1.109

Sending data to remote system...
 Percent complete: 100 Error in doing inflate: 'Error FFFFFFFD
C:\>

Clearly this board doesn't have 2Mb of flash, or its not in the
configuration expected.

I've tried the same process on other IXP ether Eval boards and it works,
but not this particular type.

Details:
the boards I have that work call themselves Rev C the board has the
identifier
A13033-001 A02 L1 
(this is from the sth/wst corner of the board) (near serial port)

the board that gives the error above identifies itself as a Rev B and
has the identifier 
A13033-002

Is this board a waste of time???

Thanks for your thoughts,
Andrew.
