Loading software on a ITG card with no software

[atascoman]

Does anyone know how to load software onto an ITG card that has had the software erased? I know how to upgrade the software in the vxworks shell, but the card doesn't have that option with no software loaded. It boots to a BIOS prompt. I also noticed that there is no C:\ drive on the card either.

I tried downloading it from OTM, but it would not go.

I have never actually loaded software this way but I believe from looking at ours you can download the software from a Tftp server that you will need to set up.
Hook a PC to the admin port with the ITG cable. Reboot the ITG. When you see the message "Enter jkl to boot from BIOS ROM", press the jkl keys.

You will need to set the IP address(lnIsa_progIP), subnet mask(lnIsa_progSubnetMask) and gateway(lnIsa_progGW) on the card first.
Then use swDownload (notice the case on the command(s)!)
You might need to add a route(routeAdd).
ifShow to view the interface and routeShow, ping are some other commands.

Good luck.

What type of ITG card is this? Is it a Petium (2 card slots per card) or SA (1 card per slot)? If it is a SA card, you need to check that there is a flash card in the lower lefthand side to the card when the componets face you. It should be a SANDISK chip. If it is missing, you will not be able to use the card. This is where drive C: resides.

Thanks cbumpstead, I will give that a whirl.

kcfonman, It's the 2-slot p2 card. Any ideas on that one. Believe me, I wish it was the newer card, I could have just copied the flash card data back onto the card.

Thanks
