LIST OF DOUBTS
------------------------
1. When we boot the board, in hyperterminal VxWorks prompt is absent after booting.
"->" prompt is absent there which use to come on normal vxworks shell.
Normally hyper teminal reflects all informatiion of that OS. Why this
discrepancy?
2. How do we know that Vxworks has been properly loaded on the board or not??
3. Target Server is running on host machine. In IXP1200EB no target agent is
running. So how does the
communication take place??
4. After installation(according to the manuals ""), if we try
ifMaskSet("peth0",0xFFFFF00) or
ifAddrSet("peth0","1.2.1.5"), it is always returning -1 value which in normal case
signifying failure.
Then how do we set the MAC and IP Address??
5. To get a fresh vxWorks_GIG.o, we have used vxWorks_gig.mak file as a makefile.
There we have tried to compile after setting the path and variables (using
torvars.bat file present within
\Tornado\host\x86-win32\bin) and giving the command
make RFC1812_SUPPORT=1 NetApp_DBG -f vxworks_gig.mak.
This is mainly done to be sure that PseudoEthernetDriver has been loaded through
the vxworksGig.o.
But the following problems arise:
A> From this make file it is invoking make.ARMS110gnu file which is not present in
Tornado.
B> Within this makefile it is using intlibvx.s file where Assembler command MRS,
ORR, MSR,BIC etc.
have been used. These things are unknown to WindowsNT processor.
C> Within this makefile it is using "ldarm", "nmarm" to do something. But no such
ldarm or nmarm is present in both
IXP1200 and Tornado directory. What are these nmarm/ldarm and how to use that??
D> In Makefile it is using $(CC) and $(AR). But no provision has been given to
user to set those.
Is $(AR) standing for 'arsimpc' or any other archive tool??
6. How to run Strong Arm code and how to see whether it is running or not?? In C++
code print statement
normally show the flow. But here, where the BIOS will work?? Will it be visible in
Tornedo shell??
