Terminal Configuration Manager
TCM Introduction
The Terminal Configuration Manager (TCM), is used to specify a group of files to use when
creating a partition and to load partitions from a host computer into the MK2000’s flash
memory using the terminal’s Initial Program Loader (IPL).
In TCM, a script is created that contains the information (commands to copy files) for
building the image. TCM works with directory windows which display the script and the
source files directory structure. Functions that can be performed include opening multiple
scripts, drag drop items from a drive/directory to the script, renaming and deleting files in
the script. Upon building the image, TCM adds all the files and directories referenced in the
script to the image.
The SDK includes a number of standard scripts and demos/samples to use as a base for
creating new scripts. These scripts can be found in the SYMSDK\SCRIPTS directory.
Note: Before creating 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.
