Re: MVME 5500 How to flash the VxWorks bootrom?

[Maren Purves via Tech-talk <tech-talk at aps.anl.gov>]

We have this: https://urldefense.us/v3/__http://docs.eao.hawaii.edu/EXTERNAL/MOTOROLA/vxWorksBoot/vxWorksBoot.pdf__;!!G_uCfscf7eWS!aZIZSMHxuGTxDl2v4jGSmTjVf5x5iz_t1EohfSkAB-o0YGWgZV59_z4ssvWtMLYJtmkhicGb5sRK0aVXavDdX4c2kOBq$ 
which originates from Andrew but has additions and notes from other
people as well (I recognize Craig Walther's handwriting) - and some
specifics that are local to us here of which I'm sure  they won't
apply to you, like the name of the boot host to use for this (we're
still running VxWorks 5.5 :) , btw)
