VxWorks Boot on MVME5100 (PPC 7400) and Tornado 2.1

[Kyle Rutledge]

I've flashed VxWorks Boot onto a MVME5100 card and it boots to that point
fine, but when VxWorks Boot goes to the host to download VxWorks(OS) I get
the following:

>>>>>
Attached TCP/IP interface to fei0.
Attaching network interface lo0... done.
Loading... Error code 2: Access violation
tftpGet: Error ogcurred while transgerring the file.
Erroneous header read

Error loading file: errno = 0x0.
Can't load boot file!!
>>>

On the host side, ftp reports:

>>>>
Connection received from XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX on port XXXX
Read request for file <vxWorks>
Error: EACCESS. Ext error The operation completed successfully.
>>>

I don't believe that there is anything physically wrong with the comm link
as the vxWorks Boot binary was download by ftp via the PPC6bug command
"niop", before it was flashed to the 5100. The ftp user permissions on the
host are sufficient to allow downloading of the file, as I have done it from
other computers attached to the host.

Any ideas would be appreciated.

Hi Kyle,

is your swapping between ftp and tftp one of your typos or do you really try
to boot via tftp from a ftp-server ?

Assuming it's a typo:
Don't use stripppc, objcopyppc or anything else to remove symbol information
from your code!
AFAIK, all host-tools for PPC-targets that manipulate symbol information are
buggy. Some don't work at all, others not in conjunction with debugger
information,... . Use only images provided by the IDE.
We had a similiar problem when having stripped an image by objcopyppc that
contained debug info. Recompiled without debug-info and all worked.

Michael,

I wish it was a typo, then I wouldn't feel as stupid. I misread the
docmentation with regard to the "flags" field in the VxWorks Boot
parameters. I mistook flag 0x80 to force ftp transfer as opposed to RSH
transfer. It, of course, forces tftp transfers. So yeah, I was trying to
boot via tftp from an ftp server.

Thanks for your help, I probably would have looked at that for a very long
time without recognizing my mistake.
