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
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
If oops is run without arguments, then it will run by default in Type 2 mode.
To specify the image to be uploaded:
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.
