DOWNLOADING PROCEDURES

This portion of text describes the downloading procedures. The downloading

operation enables the user to transfer information from a host computer to the

EVB (or target system memory) using the LOAD command. The VERIFY command is

used to compare the S-record data to memory data.

Specific downloading procedures are described enabling the user to IBM Personal

Computer (PC) host computer system. Downloading operations are accomplished

utilizing the LOAD command. The LOAD command moves data information in S-record

format (see Appendix A) from an external host computer to the EVB user RAM.

The following pages provide examples and descriptions of how to perform

downloading operations in conjunction with an IBM PC host computer.

Prior to performing any IBM PC operation, ensure that both IBM PC and EVB baud

rates are identical.

NOTE

IBM PC to EVB interconnection is accomplished by a single RS-232C cable assembly

(usually provided with EVB). This cable is connected to the EVB terminal I/O

port connector COM1 for downloading operations.

To perform the IBM PC to EVB downloading procedure, perform/observe the

following:

EXAMPLE DESCRIPTION

>LOAD EVB download command entered.

Using Axiom AXIDE Terminal program select Upload Arrow on tool bar, file to

send, and send file now.

Using HyperTerminal program or similar, select text file transfer, file to send,

and send now.

Done. EVB prompt after file received.

Note error messages may be presented such as “Too Long”. Make sure S record is

located in RAM memory area on EVB and that the ENTER or RETURN key is pressed

after the LOAD command is typed in to execute the LOAD command first. If prompt

does not return after download, S record maybe invalid or maybe located in

Monitor Ram use area. Review S record location and format.
