Hello all,
 
Currently, we are using the mvme6100 model. However, we heard that it will be discontinued. We would like to secure an additional 5500 or 3300 model for maintenance. However, before purchasing, we would like to make sure that the mvme5500 we have is compatible with vxworks6.9 os.

I'm trying to copy this link from Tech Talk.

As for the jumper setting, I set the jumper j8 to flash1 as told here.

PReP NVRAM header test failed

 

I can’t do anything because of this red line error message.

Even if I do,

MVME5500> gevEdit mot-script-boot

PReP NVRAM header test failed

 

Can you give me any advice?

 

I really appreciate it.

Best & Regards,

Beag.
