IPC/NETIPCFW-1A: User Documentation
DOC/NETIPCFW-E; V3.0
init2
Initializes the host-computer COM2-port with the following parameters:
COM-port 2, baud-rate 57600 bit/s (Note: init2 is not a built-in command, but
executes the command file init2.flc)
dir
displays boot block flash drive directory
del
deletes program name from flash-directory
program
path\filename.ext format=bin addr=xxxxxxx:
writes the binary file ‘filename.ext’ to the start address xxxxxxx into the flash-
memory (see DOC/IPC_NETIPC for memory layout and address mapping of the
NETIPC board)
filename
executes the commands found in the command file ‘filename.flc’.
Command
files are simple ASCII character files containing valid boot loader commands (one
per line). Examples of such command files are init1.flc, init2.flc, ebios.flc,
stpcvga.flc, edos.flc, edrive_a.flc (all in directory
C:\FBCUBE\NETIPCFW\BOOT>)
quit
updates, saves the flash-drive tables and quits the program
WARNING
: whenever leaving the Boot Loader program, always use
quit
. Do not switch
power off or disconnect the target while the quit-command is in operation. Failing to do so may
corrupt the flash-tables and make the FBCube un-bootable !
3.3.
Boot Loader Operation
The boot loader for the NETIPC board supports the download of binary and of Intel-HEX file
formats into the boot-block flash-memory on the NETIPC. The resident part in the flash-
memory has already been downloaded in the factory. After the installation the host PC-part of
the boot loader is located in the directory C:\FBCUBE\NETIPCFW\BOOT>. To work with the
Boot Loader proceed as follows:
1. Connect the COM1 of the NETIPC to a COM-port of your host-PC using a Null-
Modem Cable;
2. Switch the NETIPC to boot load-mode (see DOC/IPC_NETIPC for detailled
information);
3. start the Boot Loader host program
winld.exe
with START -> PROGRAMS ->
FBCUBE -> NETIPC Boot Loader;
4. Input:
init1
(for COM1 on your PC, init2 for COM2 on your PC);
5. The target now responds with „target system on-line“
6. Input:
?
7. The Boot Loader program dipslays valid commands and options.
CAUTION
: executing commands of the Boot Loader program may overwrite the flash-
memory or change options which make operation of the data link impossible. For all the
necessary operations with respect to the NETIPC
command-files
(extension *.FLC) are
provided. Do only work with these command files.
WARNING
: the Boot Loader program must always be correctly terminated by the command
„QUIT“. You must wait before switching off or disconnecting until the program has finished
updating all its internal tables, otherwise the operation will not be terminated correctly.
