At the NetROM prompt, you can display the current configuration by entering the
command printenv to verify that the startup file executed properly.
Step 5:
Download test code to the NetROM.
One method is to type the newimage command at the NetROM prompt. This
command uses the TFTP protocol to download the image specified by the loadfile
environment variable from the path specified by the loadpath environment
variable (which is /tftpboot/vxWorks_rom.hex if you use the startup script in
Example 2-1). After the NetROM configuration is stable, you can include this
command in the startup file to download the image automatically. Wait to be
certain the image is completely downloaded before you power up your target. This
method takes about 30 seconds to transfer the image.
A faster method is to use two host utilities from AMC: rompack packs a ROM
image into a compact file (with the default name outfile.bin); download ships the
packed file to the NetROM. This method takes only about five seconds to transfer
a new image to the target. This UNIX shell script shown in uses these utilities to
send an image to the NetROM whose IP address is recorded in the script variable
ip:
#! /bin/sh
if [ $# != 1 ]; then
echo "Usage: $0 "
exit 1
fi
file=$1
ip=t46-154
if [ -r "$file" ]; then
echo "Downloading $file to the NetROM at $ip."
rompack -c 1 -r 27c020 -x $file 0 0
download outfile.bin $ip
else
echo "$0: \"$file\" not found"
exit 1
fi
echo Done.
exit 0
The rompack option flags specify how to pack the image within the emulator pods.
The -c 1 option specifies a ROM count of one, which means that the image goes in
a single ROM socket. The -r 27c020 option specifies the type of ROM. The two
