5.16 RESTORE EEPROM

The RESTORE EEPROM command can be used if your

system has a TK tape drive

as a console load device.

This command copies the TK tape’s EEPROM image to the

EEPROM of the boot processor.

Example

! Lower key switch must be in Update position.

! Load the TK tape with EEPROM contents.

! When the yellow light on the TK70 drive

! stays on, enter RESTORE command.

>>> RES E

?006E EEPROM Revision = x.xx/y.yy

?0070 Tape image Revision = x.xx/y.yy

! System displays the revision level of the

! EEPROM and the TK tape.

! Console program asks if you want to restore;

! the default is no. Enter Y to continue.

Proceed with EEPROM update? (Y or N) >>> Y

?006A EEPROM changed successfully.

>>> ! Restore complete; prompt returns.

The RESTORE EEPROM command syntax is:

RES[TORE] E[EPROM]

The RESTORE EEPROM command copies information from the TK tape

that you previously saved by using the SAVE EEPROM command (see

Section 5.17). Before the information is copied to the EEPROM of a

processor, you are shown the revision level of the information that resides

on the tape as well as information that presently resides on the EEPROM.

Then you are asked if you wish to continue the restore operation.

The steps for using RESTORE EEPROM include:

1. Load the TK tape cartridge containing saved EEPROM data into the TK

tape drive. This rewinds the tape to the beginning, so that restoration

proceeds from this point. See Appendix B for information on the tape

drive operation.

RESTORE EEPROM not implemented on TF devices.
