Getting Started

3. The command used to program the image depends on the type of image:

• To program the ELF image into flash, use the following command line:

flash> WRITE IMAGE elf_file_name NAME name FLASH_ADDRESS address

The entry point and load address for ELF images are taken from the image

itself.

• To program a binary image into flash, use the following command line:

flash> WRITE BINARY image_file_name NAME name FLASH_ADDRESS address1

LOAD_ADDRESS address2 ENTRY_POINT address3

flash>

Note

name

is a short name for the image. If the

NAME

option is not used at the command

prompt,

name

will be derived from the file name.

4. The image is now in flash and can be run by the Boot Monitor. At the prompt,

type:

flash> RUN name

2.6.8 Using a boot script to run an image automatically

Use a boot script to run an image automatically after power-on:

1. Create a boot script from the Boot Monitor by typing:

> CREATE myscript.txt

; put any startup code here FLASH RUN file_name

2. Press Ctrl-Z to indicate the end of the boot script and return to the Boot Monitor

prompt.

3. Verify the file was entered correctly by typing:

>TYPE myscript.txt

The contents of the file is displayed to the currently selected output device.

4. Specify the boot script to use at reset from the Boot Monitor by typing:

>SET BOOTSCRIPT myscript.txt

5. Set S6-1 ON to instruct the Boot Monitor to run the boot script at power on.

6. Reset the platform. The Boot Monitor runs and executes the boot script

myscript.txt

. In this case, it relocates the image

file_name

and executes it.
