Seven (7) IOCs, model type MVME5500, were purchased for the HELIOS acquisition. A full list of the HELIOS IOCs and their current settings can be found here [[HELIOS IOC Settings]].

Due to an updated ethernet part on the board they required an updated board support package (BSP) from 1.2/1 -> 1.2/3. This was completed (after an additional update of VxWorks from 5.5 -> 5.5.2 (??)) by Andrew Johnson of APS. '''ADDITIONAL DETAILS ARE REQUIRED'''

One of these new IOCs has been flashed with the new BSP/VxWorks. The rest must be flashed. The flashing procedure is below.

'''Flashing IOC'''

- Ensure that '''Flash JUMPER''' is set to '''FLASH1''' on the IOC you wish to flash.

- Login to the IOC you wish to flash
telnet ts <location>
where location is typically 20## from 01 - 99.

- Load the new bootrom of choice, currently (June 2015) we are using
tftpGet -d/dev/enet1 -c192.168.1.20 -s192.168.1.2 -g192.168.1.1 -fdgs2/bootrom.mv5500
you should see the following
Network Loading from: /dev/enet1
Loading File: dgs2/bootrom.mv5500
Load Address: 00695000
Download Buffer Size = 00200000
Client IP Address = 192.168.1.20
Server IP Address = 192.168.1.2
Gateway IP Address = 192.168.1.1
Subnet IP Address Mask = 255.255.255.0
Network File Load in Progress...
Bytes Received =&589520, Bytes Loaded =&589520
Bytes/Second =&589520, Elapsed Time =1 Second(s)

This should take only a few seconds.

- Ensure that you are flashing the memory you are not booted to by executing '''flashShow''' and seeing
flashShow
Device-Name Base-Address,Size Device-Size,Count Boot Type
/dev/flash0 F2000000,02000000 01000000,00000002 No Intel 28F128
/dev/flash1 FF800000,00800000 00400000,00000002 Yes Intel 28F320
'''NEVER FLASH THE MEMORY YOU ARE BOOTING FROM!!!'''

- Flash the new bootrom
flashProgram -d/dev/flash0 -o01f00100 -nfff00 -v

The following should appear.

Source Starting/Ending Addresses =00695000/00794EFF
Destination Starting/Ending Addresses =F3F00100/F3FFFFFF
Number of Effective Bytes =000FFF00 (&1048320)
Program Flash Memory (Y/N)? Y
Virtual-Device-Number =00
Manufacturer-Identifier =89
Device-Identifier =18
Virtual-Device-Number =01
Manufacturer-Identifier =89
Device-Identifier =18
Address-Mask =FE000000

- Switch jumper to newly flashed '''FLASH0'''

- Need to set a bunch of parameters and paths ?? Which of the below have to be unique ?? To set a value, ''ctrl-x'' to start reboot, then press any key. Type ''p'' to show the parameter settings as below. To modify these type ''c'' then for each line you wish to change type a ''.'' then type ''c'' again and make the appropriate change.

boot device : gei
unit number : 0
processor number : 0
host name : helios1
file name : /global/devel/boot/mvme5500/vxWorks
inet on ethernet (e) : 192.168.1.20:ffffff00
host inet (h) : 192.168.1.2
user (u) : dgs
ftp password (pw) : ###########
flags (f) : 0x0
target name (tn) : ioc1
startup script (s) : /global/devel/gretTop/9-22/dgsIoc/iocBoot/iocArray/vme01.HELIOS.cmd

A full list of the HELIOS IOCs and their current settings can be found here [[HELIOS IOC Settings]].

What is done in the '''vme01.HELIOS.cmd''' file.

- Check to make sure that the new BSP is loaded (''ctrl-x'' to autoboot)

=IOC Errors and Issues=

Cannot acquire boot file. Likely an issue with the ftp server (I believe is pure-ftpd ??). Solution was to kill 'bad' server as it was hogging the connection and start 'good' server by:

I killed the bad ftp server (K80proftpd) and started the good one
(S85pure-ftpd) and now the processor boots just fine.

At end of boot a lot of cannot save errors seem to pop up. Must figure out how to get this corrected. Is it simply permissions?

At end of boot usually get the following wierdness...why??
