VME Processor boot parameters

These appear on the console terminal when you reboot the VME processor.

boot device              : ei
processor number         : 0
host name                : mvdonl.lanl.gov
file name                : /usr1/kozl/vxworks/bnl_config/config/mv162/vxWorks
inet on the ethernet (e) : 128.165.205.21
host inet (h)            : 128.165.205.20
user (u)                 : mvdonl
flags (f)                : 0x20
target name (tn)         : mvdonl2
startup script (s)       : /usr1/mvdonl/boot/boottest
other (o)                : s

• boot device: ???
• processor number: ???
• The host name is the internet name of the machine where files are fetched from during booting.
• The file name is the VxWorks operating system executable, to be loaded from the host.
• The inet on the ethernet is the ethernet address of the vme processor.
• The host inet is of course the internet address of the host computer.
• The user is the name of the account on the host that is used by the VME processor to log into the host.
• The bit-encoded flags word, among other things, determines the mode of access on the host (rlogin, no password etc).
• the startup script is the name of a script that resides on the host and is executed during booting.
• other ???

The Boot Script(s)

---

File /usr1/mvdonl/boot/boottest; This is the script that the VME processor executes at boot time:

< ~/boot/mybootsc
< $CODA/VXWORKS68K51/etc/boot040
cd "$CODA/CES"
ld < camacTest.o
ld < /usr1/mvdonl/camac/xilOpen.o

• On the first line, another script, mybootsc gets executed. Note that the file resides in the same location as the calling file, but its name is given as '~/mybootsc' rather than just 'mybootsc'. I recall that this syntax was necessary.
• On the second line, script boot040 is executed. Note that the address involves a variable $CODA, which needs to be defined. This is done on login to the HP, in script /usr1/mvdonl/.coda_setup, which is called by .cshrc.
• Change directory to $CODA/CES
• Image camacTest.o is loaded from this area. [DO WE NEED THIS?]
• Image /usr1/mvdonl/camac/xilOpen.o is loaded. [WHO USES THIS?]

< $CODA/VXWORKS68K51/etc/boot040
cd "$CODA/CES"
ld < camacTest.o
ld < /usr1/mvdonl/camac/xilOpen.o
ld < /usr1/mvdonl/camac/xil.o
mvdonl %  more mybootsc
#cd "$CODA/VXWORKS68K51/lib"
#ld < libcamac.o
cd "$CODA/CES"
ld < camacLib_8210.o
ccinit(0)
cd "$CODA/VXWORKS68K51/bin"
ld < caSrvr
taskSpawn "caServ",102,spTaskOptions,10000,caSrvr_main
ld < scRpc_vx
taskSpawn "scServ",104,spTaskOptions,10000,scServ

• On the first line, another script,

taskSpawn "scServ",104,spTaskOptions,10000,scServ
mvdonl %  more $CODA/VXWORKS68K51/etc/boot040
cd "$CODA/VXWORKS68K51/bin"

ld < vxserv
taskSpawn "vxserv",175,spTaskOptions,6000,vxserv

ld < coda_roc
taskSpawn "ROC",110,spTaskOptions,8000,roc_coda
