[ECOS] Redboot: "load -m xmodem" command

[ECOS] Redboot: "load -m xmodem" command

[Mike A]

Hi,

I Redbooted my ATLAS(MIPS 4Kc) board. Then at the console prompt "Redboot>" 
(on Windows Hypertermial) I typed in the command to load the RAM image "load 
-m xmodem". Then I select Transfer->Send file (on Hyperterminal). with the 
following options I then click OK,

Protocol: Xmodem
file: 
C:\myrep\examples\t\t_install\tests\io\wallclock\current\tests\wallclock.srec

The file does not get download...

Even before I start sending from the PC, I see a lot of 'C' being sent from 
Redboot in response to "load -m xmodem"

I even tried with ymodem.. I wasn't sucessful

Any clue??

Thanks alot,
-Mike.

The most probable cause is that HAL_DELAY_US() isn't working properly.
The way to check is run the same command (load -m xm) and don't try to
start the transfer.  You should see a string of "C" characters, but they
should only come out at a rate of one every 3 or 4 seconds.  Any faster
says that the HAL_DELAY_US() macro is broken.

If this is the case, try and fix it and rebuild RedBoot.

As always, if you make changes, it would be nice to pass them back to 
the project.

Sorry:

 I've been off for a few days. In fact, I never used RedBoot xmodem or zmodem. 
I usualy work with GDB or Insight to load, debug and run eCos programs. For 
loading only  I used only transfer from the tftp server on ethernet.

 Maybe somebody else can tell You how it works.

Just change the "startup type" to RAM, using the ConfigTool (or by
editing the ecos.ecc file if you are using ecosconfig)

Re: [ECOS] Redboot: "load -m xmodem" command

[Mike A]

Hi Gary,

I found the problem,

The RO_base (Or the Location the ecos application to be loaded in RAM) is 
pointing to a ROM address.

1st 2 lines from the generated Srec:
S010000077616C6C636C7E312E73726563E6
S3159FC000000500001000000000000000000000000076

The address 0x9FC00000 is in the FLASH (Reset vector address).

I guess, I have linked the application for FLASH. How do I link it for RAM? 
And also let me know a method to alter the RO_base (Program space) & RW_base 
(Data space) address without using the Memory Layout Window (becaue this is 
not supported in Conf. Tool 2.08).

Thanks a lot,
-Mike.

This is perfect and tells me that the timer routine (HAL_DELAY_US) is 
functioning fine.  Of course, it means that you need to get the data
started before 30 seconds.  One thing I've found is that you might want 
to move the file you are downloading so that you don't have to do a lot
of window/menu messing about when you are selecting the file to 
download.  Don't forget, 30 seconds can go by quite fast when you are 
mousing about.

No, I normally use 'minicom' on Linux.  I have also tested with 
HyperTerm on Windows, so I know that RedBoot works fine once you have
the basic connection sorted out.

Re: [ECOS] Redboot: "load -m xmodem" command

[Mike A]

Hi Gary,

Thanks for the info.

My time measurements on Window Hyperterminal:
It printed "CCCCCCCCC\x15\x15", 11 characters in 30 seconds. So, it has 3 seconds 
inter-character gap approximatly. Which I think is pretty ok from what you 
said in the eariler email.

Are you developing on Windows?? If so, what terminal program are you running 
this on? Let me know what you think about this.

Thanks a lot,
-Mike.

Hyperterminal screen capture:
RedBoot> load -m xm
CCCCCCCCC\x15\x15\x15\x15\x15\x15\x15\x15\x15\x15\x15Can't load '': Timed out
