Hi,
I was trying to boot vxworks using u-boot bootloader for learning purpose
on MPC8640DHPCN board. Previously I successfully ported QNX os along with
linux on same board using u-boot. while booting using bootvx command its
not booting and stucking after showing the following message:

tftp 01000000 vxWorks

understanding about booting multiple os using uboot.
