As Andrew already pointed out, TFTP is used for flashing VxWorks bootrom and FTP is used for downloading VxWorks image. The FTP server should be tested using a FTP client before downloading VxWorks image.

In addition, if there is a firewall running in the Linux system, sometimes the VxWorks image downloading may also be blocked.

It seems that a VxWorks5.5.1 bootrom is used for downloading VxWorks6.9 image, I am not sure if they are compatible. Typically, the procedure should be first build and flash the VxWorks6.9 bootrom, then build and download VxWorks6.9 image.

Lin

Subject: [SPAM] vxworks boot problem

Hi,

 

We are trying to put EPICS on target running vxWorks 6.9.

 

We could build EPICS Base 3-15-6 for

CROSS_COMPILER_TARGET_ARCHS =vxWorks-ppc32

 

Now I want to use TFTP to load the vxWorks image at MVME6100

When I am trying to boot and load vxWorks image file but its not loading image and throwing error.

Following is the log of error on boot:

 

CPU: Motorola MVME6100-0173 – MPC 7457

Version : VxWorks5.5.1

BSP  version : 1.2/5

Creation data : Nov 4 2008, 16:13:29

 

Press any key to stop auto-boot…

[VxWorks Boot]: @

Boot device : geisc0

Unit number : 0

Processor number : 0

Host name : host

File name : /tftpboot/vxWorks

Inet on etherenet : 10.4.49.69:ffffff00

Host inet : 10.4.49.170

Gateway inet : 10.4.49.99

User : test

ftp password : test

flags : 0x0

 

Attached TCP/IP interface to geisc0.

Attaching network interface lo0… done.

Loading..

Error loading file : errno = 0x3d.

 

“User: test” is my ubuntu server’s user name and ftp password is ubuntu server’s password.

Is it wrong?

Do I have to check ~/WindRiver/vxworks-6.9/target/config/all/configAll.h file?

 

This is configAll.h file

/*Default Boot Parameter*/

#define HOST_NAME_DEFAULT “bootHost”  /*host name*/

#define TARGET_NAME_DEFAULT “vxTarget”  /*target name(tn)*/

#define HOST_USER_DEFAULT “target”  /*user (u)*/

#define HOST_PASSWORD_DEFAULT “ “  /*password*/

#define SCRIPT_DEFAULT “ “  /*startup script (s)*/

#define other_default “ “     /*other (0)*/

 

Are those(“bootHost”, “target”.. etcs) my vxworks boot parameters? I’d like to know how can I set vxworks boot parameters(user , ftp password , host name)

 

I hope you understand Iam new to the world of RTOS. Casual I’ve been trying to understand them for a week. From there to before he knew nothing of them.

I hope you can help.

 

Thanks and regards.
