2-6 Addressing

2.4 VAXBI Addresses
To examine a VAXBI register from the VAX 10000 console (see Example
2-1), you need three pieces of information:
1.

The XMI number (0–3) to which the VAXBI bus is connected.

The base address of the VAXBI node (see Table 2-5).

The offset of the VAXBI register to be examined (see Table 2-6).

The address of the register to be examined is expressed in this form:
xmin:220xxyyy
where:

n = the XMI number
xx = the base address of the VAXBI node
yyy = the address offset of the VAXBI register

To calculate the address of the VAXBI register, add 2200 0000 plus the
base address of the VAXBI node (Table 2-5) plus the address offset of the
VAXBI register (Table 2-6).
NOTE: You must look at the node ID plug on the backplane of the VAXBI
card cage to determine the node ID of the VAXBI option.

Example 2-1 Examining the Device Register of VAXBI Node 7
>>> e xmi1:2200E000
xmi1: 2200E000 131C010E

3.2 Environment Variables
An environment variable is a name and a value association maintained by
the console program. The value associated with an environment variable is
an ASCII string (up to 127 characters) or an integer. Certain environment
variables are typically modified by the user to tailor the recovery behavior
of the system on power-up and after system failures. Volatile environment
variables are initialized by a system reset; others are nonvolatile across
system failures.
Environment variables can be created, modified, displayed, and deleted using the console create, set, show, and clear commands. A default value
is associated with any variable that is stored in EEPROM. This default
value is used if the EEPROM is unreadable.

Table 3-13 Environment Variables

baud

Nonvolatile

Sets the console terminal port baud rate.
Allowable values are 300, 600, 1200, 2400,
4800, and 9600 (default)

bootdef_dev

Nonvolatile

The default device or device list from which
booting is attempted when no device name
is specified by the boot command.

boot_file

Each module on the LSB has an on-board DC-to-DC converter. If the
converter on one module is defective, the 2V reference voltage is disabled
for all nodes, preventing any node from using the LSB. Table 6-8 indicates
which module has the defective converter based on the state of the STP
LEDs of all modules in the LSB.
Use Table 6-8 when the Fault light on the control panel is on (see Section
<cont_panel>) and the console prompt is displayed but the self-test map is
not. This indicates that the LSB is good, but access to the bus is not possible.

7-6 Restoring Corrupted ROMs

7.3 Restoring Corrupted Firmware on a CPU
Use this procedure when the prompt VAX-7000/10000-FRRC> appears at
the console terminal after power-up. (This prompt appears only if the console terminal is set at 9600 baud.) This prompt indicates that the firmware
in the FEPROMs on the processor module has been corrupted.
The following must be available for you to use this procedure:
•

A source system that can logically connect, through the console port, to
the system that has the corrupted firmware.
— The source system can be on site or remote.
— The source system must have access to an InfoServer.
— The program Kermit must reside on the source system.

•

The VAX 7000/10000 console CD-ROM with the file
VAX7000_10000_CONSOLE_IMAGE.GROM.

Do the following to restore the corrupted firmware. All work is done at the
source system, and the procedure takes approximately 10 minutes.
1.

Set up the source system (Example 7-6):
a. Set the speed of the terminal at which you are working to 9600
baud.
b. Bind the CD-ROM volume name to a virtual disk container.
c. Mount the InfoServer.

Make a physical connection from the source system to the system with
the corrupted firmware. For example, use an RS232 cable to connect
from a DMB32 on the source system to the console port on the system
with the corrupted firmware.

Run Kermit (Example 7-7) and set the parameters as shown in the response to the show all command in the example.

Connect to the system with the corrupted firmware and downline load
the correct code (Example 7-8).

Longword Bits

Contents

SP+0

<31:0>

Byte count. The size of the stack frame in bytes,
not including the PC, PSL, or the byte count longword. Stack frame PC and PSL values should always be referenced using this count as an offset
from the stack pointer.

SP+4

<31:29>

AST LVL. The current value of the register.

<23:16>

Machine check code. The reason for the machine
check, as listed in Table 8-2.

<7:0>

CPUID. Contains the current value of the CPUID
register.

SP+8

<31:0>

INT.SYS register. The value of the INT.SYS register, which is read onto the A-bus by the microcode.

SP+12

<31:0>

SAVEPC register. The SAVEPC register, which is
loaded by microcode with the PC value in certain
circumstances. It is used in error handling for PTE
read errors with PSL <FPD> set in this stack
frame.

SP+16

<31:0>

VA register. The contents of the Ebox VA register,
which may be loaded from the output of the ALU.

SP+20

<31:0>

Q register. The contents of the Ebox Q register,
which may be loaded from the output of the shifter.

SP+24

<31:28>

Rn. The value of the Rn register, which is used to
obtain the register number for the CVTPL and
EDIV instructions. In general, the value of this
field is unpredictable.

<25:24>

Mod. A copy of the currrent mode field, PSL
<CUR_MOD>.

<23:16>

Opcode. Bits <7:0> of the instruction opcode. The
FD bit is not included.
