Once you have the cable connected and kermit monitoring the crate computer, you can use the computer to setup the crate computer. When you first turn on the create, you should see some text go by in kermit. And you should be given the opportunity to stop the boot process, so you can change the settings so that they’re suitable to your environment. So you have something to compare to, here are our settings:
boot device : dc
processor number :0
host name : enter the host name of the computer from which you will download Vxworks
file name : full path to the location of the vxworks package
inet on ethernet: ip address of the crate computer
host inet: ip address of the host name listed above
gateway inet: ip address of your gateway
user: user you have set up to allow to log in to your computer
flags: 0x0
target name : dns name of crate computer
startup script: script you want to run–should be located in user’s home directory
For a more concrete example, use the following:
crate computer: crate.uchicago.edu 10.35.52.25
computer with vxworks: black.uchicago.edu 10.35.52.30
location of vxworks on black: /products/prd/vxworks/v5_3b/target/config/mv2301/vxWorks
gateway: 10.35.52.1
user on black: vxworks
startup_script: crate_startup
The boot info should then look like:
boot device : dc
processor number : 0
host name : black.uchicago.edu
file name : /products/prd/vxworks/v5_3b/target/config/mv2301/vxWorks
inet on ethernet : 10.35.52.25
host inet : 10.35.52.30
gateway inet : 10.35.52.1
user : vxworks
flags : 0x0
target name : crate
startup script : crate_startup
