Chapter 10 Configuring the Terminal
Introduction
This chapter describes the Terminal Configuration Manager (TCM), and how it is used to
specify and load files into the flash memory of the PPT 2700 using the terminals Initial
Program Loader (IPL).
In TCM, you create a script that contains the information (commands to copy files) for
building the image. TCM works with directory windows which display the directory
structure of your script and the source directories, files, and scr ipts from which you pull
components. You can open multiple scripts, drag and drop items from a drive/directory to the
script, rename and delete files in the script, etc. Upon building the image, TCM adds all the
files, directories, and scripts referenced in the script to the imag e.
The SDK includes a number of standard scripts and demos/samples for you to use as a base
for creating your own scripts. These scripts can be found in the SYMSDK\SCRIPTS directory.
Note: Before you create a script to build a hex image, identify the files
required (system files, drivers, applications, etc.) and locate the files
source directories to make the script building process easier.
The required processes for building a hex image in TCM include:
Starting TCM
Creating or modifying a script
Building the hex image
Sending the hex image.
