Connecting to a Console Port

When the CPCI-6200 is installed in the chassis, you are ready to connect peripherals and apply
power to the board.

On the CPCI-6200 baseboard, the standard serial console port (COM1) serves as the MOTLoad
debugger console port. The firmware console should be set up as follows:

Eight bits per character

One stop bit per character

Parity disabled (no parity)

Baud rate of 9600

9600 baud is the power-up default for serial ports on CPCI-6200 boards. After power-up you
can reconfigure the baud rate if you wish, using the MOTLoad PF (Port Format) command via
the command line interface. Whatever the baud rate, some type of hardware handshaking—
either XON/OFF or via the RTS/CTS line—is desirable if the system supports it.

2.10 Factory-Installed Linux

A bootable ramdisk-based Linux image based on the 2.6.29.6 or later kernel is available in the
NOR flash. To boot this image, use the following MOTLoad commands:

CPCI6200> bmw -af8000000 -bf8ff0000 -c2000000

CPCI6200> execP -l2000400
