Download the ROM-Disk Image
The binary image generated by MAKEDRVX.BAT or MAKEDRV2.BAT must be downloaded
to the boot block flash memory using the Boot Loader program (see chapter 3 of this manual).
A command file is available, please proceed as follows:
1. Start boot loader program
2. Enter: EDRIVE_X or EDRIVE_2 (command file for download of Embedded
DOS-ROM), MDRIVE_X or MDRIVE_2 (command file for download of MS-
DOS), NDRIVE_X or NDRIVE_2 (command for download of non-DOS
operating system)
3. Quit boot loader program.
Note:
xDRIVE_X downloads the ROM-Disk image to address 3
f
00000h, xDRIVE_2 to
address 3
e
00000h in the target. With xDRIVE_X the maximum allowable image size is 704
kBytes, with xDRIVE_2 it is 1.44 MBytes. Downloading an image with a bigger size may
overwrite the BIOS and BIOS extensions and result in unpredictiple behaviour of the target
system. Check the NETIPC hardware documentation to verify if your target supports only 704
kByte or also 1.44 MByte ROM-Disk images. Both MAKEDRVX.BAT and
MAKEDRV2.BAT generate the same output file DRIVE_X.BIN, so be shure to regenerate it
when changing from one size to the other before downloading the image.
4.4.5.
Enabling ROM-Drive
Enabling the support of the ROM disk is done using the Binary Configuration Program. The
ROM-disk is already correctly enabled and defined for a 704 kByte ROM-Drive when the
NETIPC is delivered !
When changing to another image size, the BIOS must be adjusted in the ‘Drive Assignment’
menu of the Binary Configuration Program and downloaded to the target. ‘ROM Drive 704 k’
selects image start address at 3f00000h (max. size 704 kbytes), ‘ROM Drive 1.44 M’ selects
image start address at 3e00000h (max. size 1.44 MBytes).
