Even with a dead battery you should have seen console output. I would check
the serial cable, p2 adapter and 712 console port jumpers first.
You could try to boot directly from the eprom which holds the 197bbug(using
the DIP switches) in case the 197bug has been flashed with custom
firmware(never s
Some progress tonight. Getting this on console with the memory mezzanine
disconnected (see below).
Regardless of what I type I get the Framing Error response and no echoing.

Make sure the configuration switch for system controller matches the slot
it's in. Fixing the NVRAM seems like a good next step. Not sure I'd remove

A few of the self-tests I’ve seen on the 147s set BRDFAIL if the NVRAM doesn’t

Anyone have experience with the Moto 88k VME boards? I have an MVME197LE that
I’m trying to bring up but it’s staying in BRDFAIL, while SYSCON and RUN are
green and pressing RESET appears to work.
Nothing on console at all. (via a 712 transition module)
Same behavior with the NVRAM removed.
