OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
4-4 M68HC11EVB/D
A standard input routine controls the EVB operation while the user types a command line.
Command processing begins only after the command line has been terminated by depressing the
keyboard carriage return (<CR>) key.
4.5 COMMAND LINE FORMAT
The command line format is as follows:
><command> [<parameters>]<CR>
where:
> EVB monitor prompt.
<command> Command mnemonic (single letter for most commands).
<parameters> Expression or address.
<CR> ENTER keyboard key - depressed to enter command.
NOTES
1. The command line format is defined using special characters which have the following
syntactical meanings:
< > Enclose syntactical variable
[ ] Enclose optional fields
[ ]... Enclose optional fields repeated
These characters are not entered by the user, but are for definition purposes only.
2. Fields are separated by any number of space, comma, or tab characters.
3. All input numbers are interpreted as hexadecimal.
4. All input commands can be entered either upper or lower case lettering. All input
commands are converted automatically to upper case lettering except for downloading
commands sent to the host computer, or when operating in the transparent mode.
5. A maximum of 35 characters may be entered on a command line. After the 36th
character is entered, the monitor automatically terminates the command entry and the
terminal CRT displays the message "Too Long".
6. Command line errors may be corrected by backspacing (CTRL-H) or by aborting the
command (CTRL-X or DELETE).
7. After a command has been entered, pressing <CR> a second time will repeat the
command.
