1. When you power up the eXMP-SynqNet the console terminal
should display the BIOS information.
2. In order to change the boot parameters of VxWorks, you
need to stop the auto-boot process. At the VxWorks boot screen,
press the <Enter> key to stop the auto-boot. There
is only one second to do this, so you need to be quick. If you missed
it and VxWorks auto-loads, reset the controller and try again.
3. At [VxWorks Boot]: line enter 'c' to change boot
parameters. Type in the new values. Any changed values will be saved
into the flash and used on next boot up.

to start the MEI server.
