Hi Dirk

I have no idea if this is your problem. But I had an identical problem to yours on my mvme2400 boards. I had to edit the file

sysDec21x40End.c

The line I had was this:

static char decParamTemplate[] = "0x%x:0x%x:0x%x:0x%x:-1:-1:-1:0:0x%x";

I changed it to this:

static char decParamTemplate[] = "0x%x:0x%x:0x%x:0x%x:-1:-1:-1:0:0x%x:8";

And all of my problems went away. You can easily test this by changing the line and rebuilding vxWorks. But remember, that the first pause will not go away until you make the bootrom and put it into the flash memory.

Craig


when I reboot a Motorola MVME5110, it takes ages (30 sec to be exact) until the vxWorks boot procedure starts. It takes another 30 seconds starting the loaded vxWorks kernel.

Does anyone know what the board is doing in all that time? The MVME2306 have never waited for so long. Can I reduce that time?
