bootstrap parameters used for loading the software for the IntraCore 6524 at
startup, and for downloading a new version of software when one is issued.
To access the Bootstrap Configuration Menu, type b in the Configuration

When the IntraCore 6524 is powered on, it loads its software via one of two
methods: locally (via its internal flash memory, which is the default setting) or
remotely over the network.

Important! The default Load Mode setting for the
IntraCore 6524 is Local.
Image Banks
The IntraCore 6524 has two banks to store its runtime software. The banks are
referred to as bank 1 and bank 2.
Either of these banks may be the Boot Bank, which is the bank from which the
runtime code will be loaded the next time the IntraCore 6524 is booted.
When downloading new runtime image codes, you may specify either of the
two banks as the Destination Bank in which the new code will be loaded.
Loading Software Locally
The IntraCore 6524 will always boot locally unless you set it to boot load
remotely (see “Loading Software Remotely” on page 3-13). It would then
download the new image code and reset to load locally. To specify the Boot
