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)

Basic commands

setting the time

The command below will print the help screen for the time set command

he set

for example

MVME6100> set -t082604163100

08 = Month
26 = day
04 = year
16 = hour (24 hour clock)
31 = min
00 = seconds


MVME6100> time

Ping another computer to check network

I was inable 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

show the flash memory

MVME6100> flashShow

Load in the VxWorks boot kernel

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)


MVME6100> tftpGet -c134.50.3.216 -s134.50.3.210 -fboot6100_122.bin

Flash the RAM with the program

>MVME6100>flashProgram -d/dev/flash0 -o03f00100 -nfff00


After flashing you flip dipswitch #2 on S4 fo off and powercycle

=== set BOOTA dip switch===

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

Error

MVME6100> sysMotVpdInit: Unable to read Vital Product Data (VPD). sysMotVpdInit: Unable to read Vital Product Data (VPD).

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

1|| norm env ||on 2 ||boot a ||off 3|| wpa ||on 4 ||wpb ||off
}
