You can see counter strings in terminal. Please press “space” within 5 seconds, it will be
shown EBOOT main menu.
Show Current Settings
This menu option provides a summary of the current bootloader configuration parameters.
These include the current bootloader and OS kernel debug transport, device name, bootloader/
kernel network configuration, and Ethernet MAC address.
Select Boot Device
This menu option configures the bootloader to load the OS image from the specified source.
The options include downloading an OS image from Platform Builder over Ethernet (default),
USB RNDIS, SD Card or loading the image from the OS partition on NAND Flash. The available
choices depend on whether its SD or NAND version of EBOOT.
Select Debug Device
This menu option configures the KITL transport that will be used in a KITL enabled OS image.
The options include Ethernet (default) or USB RNDIS.
Network Settings
This menu option configures various network settings used by the bootloader and kernel trans-
ports. On TS200, MAC address of Internal EMAC is obtained from read only register. When
booting from NAND, this MAC address can be changed and saved in NAND.
The default network configuration uses DHCP, and therefore requires a DHCP server to be
present on the subnet. Note that this network configuration applies only to bootloader and
OS kernel KITL network communications. The regular Ethernet NDIS miniport driver has a
completely independent configuration.
SDCard Settings
This menu option is only available with SD bootloader. This option allows you to change the
kernel filename (default: nk.bin) that the bootloader should use to load the kernel.
Flash Management
This menu option provides a mechanism to manage the Flash memory on the platform. Flash
blocks can be reserved, erased, etc. These options are primarily available for diagnostic pur-
poses and should not need to be used during development.
Enable/Disable OAL Retail Messages
This menu option enables/disables output of RetailMessages (strings printed using RETAILMSG
API) onto the serial port. This is used only for NON-KITL builds. For KITL builds, the retail
messages are sent to the Platform builder window.
Select Display Resolution
This menu option lets the user select which display mode to use: LCD. The selected value is
used by bootloader and the kernel to display content. This menu option eliminates the need
for different bootloader/kernel for different display resolutions. (default : LCD 800x480)
Note:
The settings shown are current values and have not necessarily been saved to
novolatile storage. If modified configuration parameters are not manually saved to
flash the changes are lost on a reboot.
