The load Command
load
The load command downloads programs and data from the host.
Format
The format for the load command is:
load [-abeistB] [-baud] [offset] [-c cmdstr] filename
where:
-m Only load the symbol information.
-a suppresses addition of an offset to symbols.
-b suppresses deletion of all breakpoints before the download.
-e suppresses clearing of the exception handlers.
-i ignores checksum errors.
-s suppresses clearing of the symbol table before the download.
-t loads at the top of memory (PMON only).
-f load driver from flash (IMON only).
-B Interprets input from host as binary data for Ethernet
transfers.
-baud sets the baud rate for transfer.
offset loads at the specified offset.
-c cmdstr sets a command string that the Monitor sends to the host to
start a download operation. String cmdstr is the string that
starts the download. Note that the command string must be
enclosed in double quotation marks if the string contains any
spaces.
filename load the specified file (imon95 only).
Invoking the load command with no parameters or arguments clears the
symbol table, deletes all current breakpoints, allows the Monitor to receive
programs or data from the host, and uses the current baud rate by default.
Functional Description
The load command accepts programs and data from the host port in LSI
Logic's proprietary FastLoad format, Motorola S-record, or binary files. The user can
set environment variables to change the data port, the format, and the
transfer protocol.
The load command normally clears the symbol table, exception handlers,
and all breakpoints. The -s and -b options suppress the clearing of the
symbol table and breakpoints, respectively. The value of the EPC register
is set automatically to the entry point of the program. Therefore, to execute
the downloaded program, only the g command is required.
The -c option permits a command string to be sent to the host when the
load command is issued. This is intended for use in conjunction with the
transparent mode. Note that if the command string contains multiple
words, the command must be enclosed in double quotation marks, as
shown in the example below.
The load command returns the error message "out of memory" if there is
insufficient space in the heap for the program's global symbols. To
increase the size of the heap , use the set heaptop command to reserve
more space in the heap, and then use the -T option with the pmcc command
to set the start address of the text section to the same address that was
specified for the heap. See the pmcc command on page 3-13.
The dlecho, dlproto, and hostport Variables
The dlecho, dlproto, and hostport variables control operation of the
download. The following table shows how these environment variables affect the
operation of the load command.
VariableAction
dlecho offDo not echo the lines
dlecho onEcho the lines
dlecho lfeedEcho only a linefeed for each line
dlproto noneDo not use a protocol
dlproto XonXoffSend Xon and Xoff to control the host
dlproto EtxAckExpect Etx as end of record, send Ack
hostport tty0Select tty0 as the port to which the host is connected
hostport tty1Select tty1 as the port to which the host is connected
hostport ethernetSelect ethernet
as the port to which the host is connected
See the section on downloading beginning on page 1-9 for more
information on these variables and the use of the load command.
Examples
Download to tty1 using the edown program.
PMON set dlecho off
PMON set hostport tty1
PMON set dlproto EtxAck
PMON load
% edown
Download to tty0 using a terminal emulator.
PMON set dlecho off
PMON set hostport tty0
PMON set dlproto none
PMON load
-- use terminal emulator's "send text file" command
Downloading from tty0, ^C to abort
Entry address is 80020000
Total = 0x00043C00 bytes
PMON
When using the Monitor in an environment where
tty1 is connected to a login line on a Unix host. You will need to send
a command to start the download. In the following example the command
"cat test1.rec" is sent to the host.
PMON load -c "cat test1.rec"
Files
The code for the load command is located in
pmon/load.c (PMON),
and imon/load.c (IMON).
