The CADAP; shows this. It is a NIU board for login and dumps.

Maybe an RFBOI or RFPUI for the relevant hw/sw will help?
I dont have the CNBIP for the NIU at the moment.

Hello Mr. whosrdaddy

Here are the requested printouts concerning our little problem:
The board was not a NIU but an IPU.

So the next thing we must find out is the s/w level of the IPU PROM.

Rev should be R16C.
didn't see this often on IPU. a mere RFBOI should solve the problem...

Yes it did!
After restarts and the PROM upgrade this problem was solved.
Case closed.
Thank you for your time and efforts.
