Booting from an SD Card

1. Make sure that the kernel, dtb, and ramdisk are saved in the SD card with FAT
partition.
2. Configure the U-Boot environment variable:
setenv File_uImage <kernel_image>
setenv File_dtb <kernel dtb>
setenv File_ramdisk <ramdisk>
saveenv
3. Initialize SD card:
mmcinfo
4. Load the files from the SD card to the memory:
# option: mmc - interface, 0:1 - device 0 partition 1
fatload mmc 0:1 1000000 $File_uImage
fatload mmc 0:1 2000000 $File_ramdisk
fatload mmc 0:1 c00000 $File_dtb
5. Boot the Linux in memory:
bootm 1000000 2000000 c00000

Booting VxWorks Through the Network

In this mode, the U-Boot downloads and boots VxWorks from an external TFTP server.
1. Make sure that the VxWorks image is accessible by the board from the TFTP server.
2. Configure U-Boot environment variables:
setenv ipaddr <IP address of MVME2500>
setenv serverip <IP address of TFTP server>
setenv gatewayip <gateway IP>
setenv netmask <netmask>
setenv vxboot 'tftpboot $vxbootfile && setenv bootargs $vxbootargs
&& bootvx'
setenv vxbootfile <VxWorks_image>
setenv vxbootargs 'motetsec(0,0)<IP address of TFTP
server>:VxWorks h=<IP address of TFTP server> e=<IP address of
MVME2500>:ffffff00 b=<unused IP> u=vxworks pw=vxworks f=0x80'
saveenv
3. TFTP the files from the server to local memory, then boot:
run vxboot
