MVME Boot Parameter information

See VxWorks programmers' guide for more information.

If shell is running (i.e. system is booted)

-> bootChange     (to change boot parameters)
-> reboot         (to reboot)

No shell

p  show boot parameters
c  configure boot parameters
@  bootup

Useful flag values:

flags (f)  0x02 load all VxWorks symbols, not just globals
           0x04 do not auto-boot
	   0x08 auto-boot fast (short countdown)
	   0x20 disable login security

login security

Remote login security feature may be enabled on some CAMP modules. To add further usernames, encrypt your password on sundown as follows:

sundown> vxencrypt
       please enter password:
       encrypted password is cSSddbSccS

Use loginUserAdd() from the shell, e.g.

->loginUserAdd "newname","cSSddbSccS"

Note that this adds a new username and pw. This information will be lost at reboot, so any "loginUserAdd" commands should be put in the startup script.

Enabling of the remote login security feature and the default username and pw are determined when VxWorks is built.

Useful shell commands

-> bootChange      check or change boot parameters
-> ll "/vw"        long form directory
-> copy "/vw/file.txt"  print a file to the screen
-> i               show tasks

CAMP boards (with ram disk)
-> copy "/vw/file.longext","/ram/file.ext" copy to ram disk (3 digit extension)
->todShow          show time of day according to real time clock
