Hello Lewis,It is unlikely that you can determine the cause just from this VxWorks task crash message. The tNetTask may not be the root cause of the crash; it may just be the current running task when the machine check exception was taken.
If the "Exception next instruction address: 0x001722a0" message is consistent, you might try to dump instructions around that address ("l 0x001722a0") and get lucking enough to find an external reference that would get you some idea of where execution was when the error occurred. Without a source-code debugger there is not much chance of determining what is wrong and, unfortunately, you are running an old version of VxWorks that we (APS) no longer have source-code debugging tools for.
My suggestion is upgrade to VxWorks 6.9.4.1. We have source-code debugging for that via the network and if that does not work (because of a hard crash), we have a Wind River ICE2.

Hello, Everyone! I had a VxWorks IOC crash on me. The only information I have is the following from the console: machine check Exception next instruction address: 0x001722a0 Machine Status Register: 0x0008b030 Condition Register: 0x20000043 Task: 0x1ef70f10 "tNetTask"^G Link Register: 0x0017228c Is there any way to figure out the cause? I gather that tNetTask has to do with the VxWorks networking stack? Does that tell me where the issue was, or is that just where the issue happened to show up? Any way to use addr2line with this information? Environment: * VME processor module: Motorola MVME-5100 (vxWorks-ppc604_long) - CPU: MPC 750 - Memory: 512 MB * OS: VxWorks 5.5.2 * Kernel: WIND 2.6 * BSP: mv5100-anj-no-nfsv3 (from Andrew Johnson) * Build toolchain: Tornado 2.2.2 * EPICS 3.14.12.3 (+ Known Problems patches except for the patch from 2013-12-04) Thank you!
