Hi Tom,

We have a VME ioc that crashes intermittently. We are running 3.13.7
and using a MVME 172-353 processor. We have several display meters that
feed serial data into the ioc by way of the TIP866 serial module and I
believe one the serial connections may be the culprit. Is there any type
of error record in epics or Vx Works that we can look at that might give
us a clue on why this happening.

We would need to know what kind of serial device support you are using
to be able to help with that - MPF, devAscii/drvSerial etc.
Is there a good place to get
information on VX Works commands other than WR. I have tried to use
checkStack and printErrno 0 with no success.

Which version of vxWorks/Tornado? If you have any printed manuals then
there is a chapter of the VxWorks Programmers Guide called Target Shell
which also references the Tornado User's Guide chapter on the Tornado
Shell (which you are most likely not using but which covers some of the
commands available in the target shell). From Tornado 2.x these printed
manuals are also provided in HTML format in the tornado installation
tree under docs.
