Boot System
The MVME8100 / MVME8110 uses Das U-Boot, a boot loader software based on the GNU
Public License. It boots the blade and is the first software to be executed after the system is
powered on.
Its main functions are:
Initialize the hardware
Pass boot parameters to the Linux kernel
Start the Linux kernel
Update Linux kernel and U-Boot images

Accessing U-Boot
1.
Connect the board to a computer with a serial interface connector and a terminal emulation
software running on it
.
The serial connector of the board is found on the face plate.
2. Configure the terminal software to use the access parameters that are specified in U-Boot.
By default, the access parameters are as follows:
Baud rate: 9600

These serial access parameters are the default values. These can be changed from within the
U-Boot. For details, refer to the U-Boot documentation.
