4.4Using the Command Line Interface

Interaction with MOTLoad is performed via a command line interface through a serial port on the single board computer, which is connected to a terminal or terminal emulator (for example, Window’s Hypercomm). The default MOTLoad serial port settings are: 9600 baud, 8 bits, no parity.

The MOTLoad command line interface is similar to a UNIX command line shell interface. Commands are initiated by entering a valid MOTLoad command (a text string) at the MOTLoad command line prompt and pressing the carriage-return key to signify the end of input. MOTLoad then performs the specified action. An example of a MOTLoad command line prompt is shown below. The MOTLoad prompt changes according to what product it is used on (for example, MVME6100, MVME3100, MVME5500).

Example:

MVME5500>

If an invalid MOTLoad command is entered at the MOTLoad command line prompt, MOTLoad displays a message that the command was not found.

Example:

MVME5500> mytest

"mytest" not found MVME5500>

If the user enters a partial MOTLoad command string that can be resolved to a unique valid MOTLoad command and presses the carriage-return key, the command is executed as if the entire command string had been entered. This feature is a user-input shortcut that minimizes the required amount of command line input. MOTLoad is an ever changing firmware package, so user-input shortcuts may change as command additions are made.
