2.8 Flash Utility

The flash utility allows ISaGRAF applications, a new ISaGRAF kernel or other OS-9 modules to be loaded into FLASH memory. The SMART I/O may be equipped with 1 MByte of memory depending on the version or- dered. If an application is stored in FLASH then it will be loaded into the system at start-up.

The main features of this utility are:

•Erase memory

•Fill memory

•Append memory

•Read memory

The following syntax should be observed:

flash -b[board] <parameter(s)>

Examples

To erase the FLASH:

Isa: flash -b=SMART -p=ff

To write a file to FLASH (base address is $D00000):

flash -b=SMART -d=d00000 -i=path/filename

To append a file to existing FLASH contents:

flash -b=SMART -d=d00000 -u -i=path/filename
