Page 100

kernel.bin is a binary file containing the image of the compiled dimmPCI kernel, and it is the default kernel file. kernel.bin is in the current working directory, but it is a symbolic link to a stable kernel image with a descriptive but lengthy file name.

image.bin is a binary file set as the default download program file, which will make an image of an area of the Dragonball memory, most likely flash.

memory.bin is a binary file to download an image of the memory.

Upload & Flash

There are two mode types in which ‘oops’ can operate in order to upload & flash an image. Type 1

sends init.b

sends flash programmer type 1 (loader.bin) sends image (in b-record format)

run flash programmer capture output

Type 2 (default) sends init.b

sends flash programmer type 2 (xloader.bin) runs flash programmer

sends image (in binary format) captures output

In Type 2, the image is sent in binary using xloader.bin to receive 4K blocks at a time, which is faster. With Type 1, the image must first be converted to b-records prior to sending. The mode of upload & flash can be changed as follows:

-lp or -up <flash programmer type 1>

-xp <flash programmer type 2>

If oops is run without arguments, then it will run by default in Type 2 mode.

To specify the image to be uploaded:

-k <image>

The default image file to be uploaded is kernel.bin.

Prior to writing to the flash, the flash memory will be erased. There are two different methods of erasing. -ecerases the entire flash before writing (default)

-emerases the flash as required in ’64K blocks’
