Motorola CPCI-6115 manual Using MOTLoad, Command Line Interface

Using MOTLoad MOTLoad Firmware

Most MOTLoad tests can be organized to execute as a group of related tests (a testSuite) through the use of the testSuite command. The expert operator can customize their testing by defining and creating a custom testSuite(s). The list of built-in and user-defined MOTLoad testSuites, and their test contents, can be obtained by entering testSuite -dtestSuiteat the MOTLoad prompt. All testSuites that are included as part of a product specific MOTLoad firmware package are product specific. For more information, refer to the command description page in the MOTLoad Firmware Package User’s Manual.

Test results and test status are obtained through the testStatus, errorDisplay and taskActive commands. Refer to the appropriate command description page in the MOTLoad Firmware Package User’s Manual for more information.

7.7Using MOTLoad

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

7.7.1Command Line Interface

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, HXEB100, CPCI-6115, MVME5500).

Example:

CPCI-6115>

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

Example:

CPCI-6115> mytest "mytest" not found CPCI-6115>

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 will be 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.
