Hi,
We have recently acquired a set of new MVME5500 processors to be used in
our latest VxWorks/EPICS based DAQ systems. The MVME5500 processors were
supposed to be identical the the fleet of old MVME5500 IOCs we already
have, but there has been a change of some sort to the new processors.
When we load in the boot.bin from the EPICS build that we use on the old
processors, we loose the network gei0. On the old processors we see this
at the boot prompt:
[VxWorks Boot]: n gei0
Address for device "gei0" == 00:01:af:31:81:56
with the new processors:
[VxWorks Boot]: n gei0
Network interface gei unknown.
Cannot initialize interface named "gei0"
and we cannot communicate, so we are dead in the water. The only change
we have been able to detect is the PAL version from 2.4 to 2.5:
