EST8260 Boot Problem

EST8260 Boot Problem

[Huy Vu]

This is what I am using

vmlinuz-sbc8260-2.4.0-test2-1.2.2-3 from the HHL web site
I ran the kernel through the "vxhack" with the mod for LE

Then from the "BKM>" prompt I tried to load the kernel (after a successful
TFTP load) to the Vx's Files system. I know this works because I have loaded
VxWorks shell and run using it

When I load the Linux image I get the following error
-------
>BKM>
>BKM>osboot vmlinuz-sbc8260

Loading file vmlinuz-sbc8260...Done
>BKM>go
>RUN>
!HALT! - [msg90007]* Exception taken; PC = 0x00900000  Software Emulation
>BKM>

--------
Can someone tell me what is going on?

Thanks in advance..
Huy

P.S. What's HHL talking about when they say "estflash" or "estsimm" and
"rmon" is included in the CDK.. I installed all packages and I have yet to
find it...

All I know is this is the start address of the image.  At least it got
that much right.  I have never used this monitor.

It is a small rom monitor I wrote along with some programs you can
run from Linux to program the simm and flash prom on the board.  They
have been nothing but headaches, and I think MontaVista consultants
have helped a few customers with the software.  It is best if this
software is just forgotten.  The Wind/EST tools don't want to accomodate
anything but their formats of data in the flash and VxWorks, and trying
to mix these tools with any other software is very frustrating.
