Try This:
2. At the command line prompt, type in:
env;d <CR>
This sets up the default parameters for the
debugger environment.
3. When prompted to Update Non-Volatile RAM,

in:
y <CR>
5. After clock speed is displayed, immediately
(within five seconds) press the Return key:

or
<Break>
to exit to the System Menu. Then enter a 3 for
"Go to System Debugger" and Return:
3 <CR>
Now the prompt should be:

6. You may need to use the cnfg command (see
your board Debugger Manual) to change clock
speed and/or Ethernet Address, and then later
return to:
env <CR>
and step 3.
7. Run the self-tests by typing in:
st <CR>
The tests take as much as 10 minutes,
depending on RAM size. They are complete
when the prompt returns. (The onboard self-
test is a valuable tool in isolating defects.)
8. The system may indicate that it has passed all
the selftests. Or, it may indicate a test that
failed. If neither happens, enter:
de <CR>
Any errors should now be displayed. If there
are any errors, go to step VI. If there are no
errors, go to step V.
