ml310 Vxworks Quickstart

This document provides instructions for setting up and running demonstrations of VxWorks on an ML310 board using the VxWorks Hardware and Software ACE file. The setup involves booting the board into different configurations using mode switches to run the VxWorks target software and demos. Demos include networking tests, viewing the PCI bus configuration, and mounting a file system to transfer files via FTP. Reboots can be done manually or software-initiated through System ACE commands.
