boot
boot
The boot command downloads a file through the active serial port using the
XMODEM protocol and begins execution.
Format
boot [address]
Parameters
address
Specifies the address at which to download the file. The default is the boot address.
Description
The boot command uses the XMODEM protocol to download a file through the
active serial port. The program is loaded to the supplied address or to the boot
address if an address is not specified. The program is then automatically executed.
Example
In this example, a DIGITAL UNIX host system is connected to the motherboard on
device /dev/tty01. The sx
command sends a file using XMODEM.
% echo boot 300000 > /dev/tty01
% sx -kt 10 /users/eval1/demo2/size </dev/tty01 >/dev/tty01
Sector nnn
% tip /dev/tty01
