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.
