Monitor: Remote Host Commands

Note: If you download from a UNIX host in binary format, be sure to disable the host from mapping <cr> to <cr-lf>.

The download port is specified in the nonvolatile memory configuration.

transmode

provides an interface to UNIX® through the board by connecting the console to a down- load port. A null modem cable might be necessary for the connection.

Description: transmode

Several key sequences are used to leave transparent mode and to initiate a download:

CTRL-@-RETURN

Download S-record

CTRL-@-h

Download hex-Intel

CTRL-@-m

Download Motorola S-record

CTRL-@-b

Download binary

CTRL-@-ESC

Return to monitor

This command uses software FIFOs to buffer characters between the two systems. This seems to work reasonably well for most processors, but can lose characters if large num- bers of characters are displayed. In general, the only complete solution is to use serial inter- rupts rather than polling. Since this is not likely to happen, be aware that the transmode command will allow execution of commands without problems, but may have problems if text editing is attempted.

Example: If the host is a UNIX system and you have a hex-Intel file called ‘foo.hex’ in a directory ‘foodir’ to download, you can use the following sequence:

=>PmT1 or PmE1[2.x] transmode UNIXprompt>cd foodir UNIXprompt>cat foo.hex Press CTRL-@-Return.

..........................{dots continue during download}

=>PmT1 or PmE1[2.x]

Configuring the Download Port

In this example, the NVRAM command nvdisplay changes fields in the Download group, which contains fields for port selection, baud rate, parity, number of data bits, and number of stop bits:

Note: A cable reverser might be necessary for the connection

1At the monitor prompt, type:

=>nvdisplay

2Press <cr> until the Download group is displayed.
