Setup and Startup
about how to use NetROM on your target, refer to 2.5.4 The NetROM ROM-
Emulator Connection, p.37.
For cases where boot ROMs are used to boot VxWorks, install the appropriate set
of boot ROMs on your target board(s). When installing boot ROMs, be careful to:
■
Install each device only in the socket indicated on the label.
■
Note the correct orientation of pin 1 for each device.
■
Use anti-static precautions whenever working with integrated circuit devices.
See 4.7 Configuring and Building a VxWorks Boot Program, p.144 for instructions on
creating a new boot program with parameters customized for your site.

Setting Board Jumpers
Many CPU and Ethernet controller boards still have configuration options that are
selected by hardware jumpers, although this is less common than in the past. These
jumpers must be installed correctly before VxWorks can boot successfully. You can
determine the correct jumper configuration for your target CPU from the
information provided in the target-information reference for your BSP; see
Help>Manuals contents>BSP Reference in the Tornado Launcher
(wind/docs/BSP_Reference.html).
Board Installation and Power
For bare-board targets, use the power supply recommended by the board
manufacturer (often a PC power supply).
If you are using a VME chassis, first install the CPU board in the first slot of the
backplane. See Figure 2-3.
On a VMEbus backplane, there are several issues to consider:
■
P1 and P2 Connectors. The P1 connector must be completely bussed across all
the boards in the system.
Many systems also require the P2 bus. Some boards require power on the P2
connector, and some configurations require the extended address and data
lines of the B row of the P2 bus.
■
System Controller. The VME bus requires a system controller to be present in
the first slot. Many CPU boards have a system controller on board that can be
enabled or disabled by hardware jumpers. On such boards, enable the system
controller in the first slot and disable it in all others. The diagrams in the target-
