Batch File Command Rules and Descriptions

A.2.2 Nonexecutable Batch Commands

Nonexecutable commands do not invoke any action. They set certain pro- gramming parameters and define the device type. These commands can be classified as defaultable or nondefaultable. Defaultable commands are not re- quired in the configuration/batch file; the commands have their own default values if not specified. Nondefaultable commands must be specified in the configuration/batch file because no default is provided.

Defaultable Commands

 

DT = device table file

Specify a device table file to be loaded as

 

the current device table. The default is the

 

manufacturer-supplied file device.tbl.

E = error output file

Direct the verification output (if any) to

 

error output file. The default is the COFF

 

file name specified with its extension re-

 

placed by .err. For example, the COFF file

 

a.out will have a default error file a.err.

 

(This command is ignored when you are

 

using the gang programmer.)

O = COFF file

Specify the COFF file that will supply the

 

data used to program/verify the device. If

 

a COFF file is specified in the invocation

 

command line, it takes precedence over

 

the configuration/batch file.

PO = comm port number

Specify the PC communication port to be

 

used. The default is port #1. The choices

 

for comm port number are 1, or 2.

Nondefaultable Command

DV = device family @ device first name

This command specifies the device type to be used for the program/verify op- erations. The choices for device family are TMS370, 2732, 2764, 27128, 27256, or 7742. The device first name is any name defined in the current de- vice table.

The device type must be specified before any action can be performed on the device.
