INTEL 186 EB/EC EVALUATION BOARD USER’S MANUAL

bp_number	Sixteen breakpoints are available to the user. This number selects
	which breakpoint to access.
code_addr	The code address may be specified by either segment: offset,
	CS:offset, or CB:offset.
count	This denotes the number of times a command executes.
filename	This is the location (path) and name of the file you want to reference
	(e.g., \progdir\program.obj).
value	Data to be entered in the current base notation.

5.2FILE OPERATIONS

iECM-86 uses files in the host system to load and save object code, to enter predefined strings of commands, to keep a log of commands that are entered by the user, and to keep a record of an entire debug session that includes both the characters entered by the user and the responses generated by iECM-86 on the host screen. The commands that operate with files are described in the following sections.

5.2.1Loading and Saving Object Code

iECM-86 accepts object files that are generated by Intel’s development tools. iECM-86 will not accept files that contain unresolved externals or files that contain re-locatable records. These files must be passed through LINK86 and/or LOC86 to resolve the externals and/or absolutely locate the re-locatable segments. iECM-86 will also not accept HEX format files. The iECM-86 commands that operate on object files are the following:

LOAD filename

SAVE addr TO addr IN filename

The metasymbol filename means that a valid MS-DOS file name must be entered in that position of the command string.

LOAD filename	This command loads the content records of the object
	file filename into the target memory.
SAVE addr TO addr IN filename	This command saves a region of memory as an object
	file that can be reloaded into the target memory at
	some later time.
