3.2.3 Part [HOST]
The part [HOST] defines some host specific values.
IP ipaddress The IP address of the host.
ipaddress the IP address in the form xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
Example: IP 151.120.25.100
FILE filename The default name of the file that is loaded into RAM using the Telnet ’load’
command. This name is used to access the file via TFTP. If the filename
starts with a $, this $ is replace with the path of the configuration file name.
filename the filename including the full path or $ for relative path.
Example: FILE F:\gnu\demo\ppc\test.elf
FILE $test.elf
FORMAT format [offset] The format of the image file and an optional load address offset. If the im-
age is already stored in ROM on the target, select ROM as the format. The
optional parameter "offset" is added to any load address read from the im-
age file.
format SREC, BIN, AOUT, ELF, IMAGE* or ROM
Example: FORMAT ELF
FORMAT ELF 0x10000
LOAD mode In Agent mode, this parameters defines if the code is loaded automatically
after every reset.
mode AUTO, MANUAL
Example: LOAD MANUAL
START address The address where to start the program file. If this value is not defined and
the core is not in ROM, the address is taken from the image file. If this val-
ue is not defined and the core is already in ROM, the PC will not be set
before starting the program file. This means, the program starts at the nor-
mal reset address (0xFFF00100).
address the address where to start the program file
Example: START 0x1000
* Special IMAGE load format:
The IMAGE format is a special version of the ELF format used to load a Linux boot image into target
memory. When this format is selected, the BDI loads not only the loadable segment as defined in the
Program Header, it also loads the rest of the file up to the Section Header Table. The relationship
between load address and file offset will be maintained throughout this process. This way, the com-
pressed Linux image and a optional RAM disk image will also be loaded.
