3.4.3 Returning to Windows NT ARC Firmware from the Debug Monitor

The following methods may be used to return to the Windows NT ARC

ﬁrmware from the debug monitor.

A. If you used item A in section Section 3.4.2 to enter the debug monitor, then

use this procedure to return to Windows NT ARC ﬁrmware.

The ﬁrmware contained in the serial ROM on your EB164 determines

which ﬁrmware image is loaded from the ﬂash ROM at power-up. The

serial ROM ﬁrmware uses a value stored in the nonvolatile RAM of the

real-time clock to determine which ﬁrmware image to load. At this point,

you want the serial ROM to load the Windows NT ARC ﬁrmware.

1. Use the following debug monitor commands to select Windows NT ARC

ﬁrmware, by writing the value 1 to the TOY RAM. and to verify the

selection:

EB164> bootopt nt

O/S type selected: "The Windows NT Operating System"

....Firmware type: "Windows NT Firmware"

EB164> bootopt

Predefined bootoptions are...

"0" "Alpha Evaluation Board Debug Monitor" "DBM"

"1" "The Windows NT Operating System" "NT"

"2" "OpenVMS" "VMS"

"3" "Digital UNIX" "UNIX"

O/S type selected: "The Windows NT Operating System"

....Firmware type: "Windows NT Firmware"

EB164>

Note

The EB164 does not support the OpenVMS operating system.

2. Turn off power to the EB164. Verify the presence of a jumper at

J1–25/26 (see CONF11 on the module).
