Some common problems and their solutions:
------------------------------------------------

Problem 1:
FEI and EEV both defined at the same time. May cause booting problems such
as errors indicating "Attaching driver..... failed, Can't load boot file"

Solution 1:
Verify that the FEI driver is undefined in the config.h and syslib.c files. 
The FEI driver should be "undef'd" (#undef  INCLUDE_FEI, INCLUDE_FEI_END) and 
the eeV driver should be defined ("#define INCLUDE_EEV"). The FEI driver is 
Wind River's network driver for the Intel 8255x network controllers. These 
drivers cannot co-exist in the BSP image.


Problem 2:
During the build process the following error appears : "No rule to make target 
'C:\tornado.... needed by 'usrConfig.o'. Stop.". 

Solution 2:
You need to add "eeV_44_DRV.o" to your MACH_EXTRA line in the makefile.  See the 
release notes for details (note: A "make clean" will clear out all the .o 
files in the BSP directory). 


Problem 3:
The BSP has undefined references when it builds.

Solution 3:
Make sure you included the necessary information in the sysLib.c and sysNetIf.c 
files.  See the release notes for more details.


Problem 4:
I receive an error from my VxWorks target simply stating: "Can't load boot file".

Solution 4:
Most of the time this is attributed to the boot line in config.h. Verify that the boot 
line is correct.


Problem 5:
How do I enable DHCP with this driver?

Solution 5:
Refer to the readme.txt section entitled "DHCP Client Configuration" for details.


Problem 6:
I get an error at boot time indicating a "muxLoadFail".

Solution 6:
Verify that INCLUDE_END is undefined in the config.h file. This is the default
driver for Tornado 2.0 and if not undefined this is the driver VxWorks* will try to
load.
