Steps to make vxworks bootable USB drive: Disclaimer: Please note that this procedure is not officially supported by any company and assumes that you have understood the implications mentioned in each of the following steps and further agree that you are following this procedure at your own risk. This procedure sometimes can damage the usb stick and in such cases it can become unusable for any other purposes as well. Step 0: Insert the USB stick in a usb slot on the winXP machine. Please close windows explorer / dos windows if any of these access the usb drive. The utilities that we run in the following steps assume " absolute ownership" of the usb drive, hence close the dos window or CD out of the usb drive's directories. In sections below, we assume that the USB drive is mapped as drive E: on winXP machine. Also, connect a serial cable from the Damascus board to your host machine and invoke a serial terminal program ( such as tera term or minicom etc). Step 1: Format the usb stick with HP's DriveKey utility. ( Included in the zip file, but its also available from HP's web site).

Step 3: C:\Download\DamascusBoard> copy bootrom.bin E:bootrom.sys Step 4: Copy vxWorks E:\vxWorks Step 5: Take out the USB stick from the windows host machine ( following appropriate safe removal method). Step 6: Insert this USB stick on the Damascus Board's usb slot. Step 7: Power Reset or Power recycle to the Damascus Board Step 8: Enter the appropriate set of keys to enter the BIOS of the board. Change the bios settings / bios priority to boot from "USB stick". i.e. after this change, the USB stick should be either the first boot device or it should be the only boot device ( preferably). Step 9: Save these changes and reboot the Damascus Board ( allowing it boot from USB stick). Step 10: Now, observe the Damascus Board's serial port console window ( such as tera term) for booting activity. When it boots you would see the vxworks boot prompt. Step 11: Enter the correct boot parameters. sample session: If things work the way you asssumed, the Damascus would have boot-loaded the vxworks image stored on the USB stick.
