MVME 6100
ROC1 ethernet address: 0001AF1998B5
ROC1 ethernet address: 0001AF1998B6
MPC7457 RISC G4 processor (PPC family)
Download files from JLAB
I downloaded the boot file and VXworks kernel from JLAB
/site/coda/kern/5.5/boot/boot6100_122.bin /site/coda/kern/5.5/vx6100_v4.1
and put in /tftpboot subdirectory on Host computer
Debug Connector
I then used the serial port on the host computer to interface with the MVME6100 via the "DEBUG" port. The debug port took an RJ45 standard cable so I got and RJ45-DB9 converter. This seemed to work out of the box. Just in case I ever need to make my own connector record the pinouts below.
Information below is Table 5-11 pg 92 of this reference
| ROC Pin# | DB9 Pin # | DB9 shell | Signal |
| 1 | 1 | Blue | DCD (Carrier Detect) |
| 2 | 7 | Orange | RTS (Request to Send) |
| 3 | 5 | Black | GNDC |
| 4 | 3 | Red | TX (Transmit) |
| 5 | 2 | Green | RX (Recieve) |
| 6 | 5 | Yellow | GNDC |
| 7 | 8 | Brown | CTS (Clear to Send) |
| 8 | 4 | White | DTR (Data Terminal Ready) |

Ping another computer to check network
I was unable to ping unless I used the "LAN1" RJ45 etherenet port
MVME6100> ping -c134.50.3.216 -s134.50.3.210 Client (Source) IP Address = 134.50.3.216 Server (Destination) IP Address = 134.50.3.210 Server/Host Found, E-Address = 0030487A9468 170 (128+42) bytes from 134.50.3.210: icmp_seq=0 time=179 us Packets Transmitted =1, Packets Received =1, Packets Lost =0 (0%) Round-Trip Min/Avg/Max = 179/179/179 uS

MVME6100> tftpGet -cCLIENT_IP_ADDRESS -sSERVER_IP_ADDRESS -fFILENAME
CLIENT_IP_ADDESS is the IP address of the computer receiving the file
SERVER_IP_ADDRESS is the IP address of the computer hosting the file (by default tftp uses the subdirectory /tftpboot)

I moved the dip switch on S4 labeled "BOOT A" to OFF
Error

The above error results when the "Normal" dip switch on S4 is set to "OFF". The S4 dipswitch are now set to
