Introduction
1.1 Overview
The MVME2500 Single Board Computer (SBC) is a VMEbus board, which features a
single-core P2010 or the dual-core P2020 NXP® QorIQ® processors.
VxWorks 6.8 Asymmetric Multiprocessing (AMP) allows the independent instances of the
VxWorks operating system to run on the individual CPUs of a multi-core processor.
This document describes the procedure to boot the VxWorks 6.8 AMP on the MVME25000
board.

Booting VxWorks
2.1 Introduction
You can boot VxWorks AMP on the MVME2500 board using any of the following methods:
Network Boot
Disk Boot
USB Boot
2.2 Network Boot
2.2.1 Prerequisites
You should have Connectivity to the TFTP server
2.2.2 Booting Procedure
Chapter 2
The TFTP server should be configured and started in the connected PC. The VxWorks boot
Image file, vxWorks_00.st, should be made available at the standard TFTP boot image
path /tftpboot.
To boot VxWorks AMP through network, perform the following steps:
1. Power up the MVME2500 board.
By default, it provides the U-Boot prompt.
2. Set the environmental variables at the U-Boot prompt.
setenv ipaddr <Board ip address>
setenv serverip <TFTP server ip address>
setenv gatewayip <Gateway ip address>
setenv netmask <Netmask>
Example:
setenv ipaddr 10.130.101.206
setenv serverip 10.130.101.216
setenv gatewayip 10.130.101.254
setenv netmask 255.255.255.0
3. Set the VxWorks boot image file name.
setenv vxbootfile vxWorks_00.st
MVME2500 VxWorks 6.8 AMP User Guide (6806800M27C) 11
Booting VxWorks
4. Set the VxWorks bootline arguments.
setenv vxbootargs 'motetsec(0,0)10.130.101.216:vxWorks
h=10.130.101.216 e=10.130.101.206:ffffff00 u=vxworks pw=vxworks
f=0x80’
Parameters description:
motetsec(0,0) : ethernet interface 0 on cpu 0
10.130.101.216 : Host Machine IP
10.130.101.206 : Board IP
ffffff00 : Netmask
u=vxworks : Username on host machine
p=vxworks : Password for the above user in host machine
f=0x80 : File Transfer Protocol (FTP)
5. Set the VxWorks network boot command.
setenv vxboot 'tftpboot $vxbootfile && setenv bootargs $vxbootargs
&& bootvx'
6. Save your current environmental variables.
saveenv
7. Boot VxWorks on Core 0 through network.
run vxboot
This will boot the VxWorks on Core 0 only.
For sample output of VxWorks booting on Core 0 through network, refer to Section
A.1.1, VxWorks Booting on Core 0 on page 27.
Booting VxWorks
8. Boot VxWorks Image on Core 1, execute wrload command.
Example: wrload "-file <image dir>/vxWorks -cpu 1"
To access the Core1 Console use the tip utility.
Example: tip "dev=/ttyMsd0#tag=green".
For more information refer the tip utility documentation.
For sample output of VxWorks booting on Core 1 through network, refer to Section
A.1.2, VxWorks Booting on Core 1 on page 29.
