For transfer via the TCP/IP network, the IPC@CHIP can be identified by either the serial number or IP
address.

Press the respective start button for the type of transfer you have selected to use. After the hex file
transfer has been completed, the Flash programming cycle will require about 15 seconds during which
'P’ characters can be seen coming out to the terminal. The terminal will indicate "Done” when the
programming cycle has completed, as shown below. This will be followed by an IPC@CHIP reboot.

At the CHIPTOOL display you may see some error messages if the CHIPTOOL is not able to re-
establish communication following the @CHIP-RTOS download. This can often be the case because
the flash disk needs to be reformatted due to a change in size of the @CHIP-RTOS and the
consequent loss of set-up information (e.g. IP configuration). You will then need to repeat the IP
configuration steps.
3.2.3 CHIP.INI configuration file
The @CHIP-RTOS holds its non-volatile configuration information in a CHIP.INI file found in the root
directory of the A: Flash disk drive. This ASCII text file can be adjusted either directly with a text editor
or with particular commands from the terminal. The figure below shows a few example entries that
might be found in a CHIP.INI file.
[IP]
ADDRESS=192.168.200.1
NETMASK=255.255.255.0
GATEWAY=192.168.200.10
DHCP=0
[STDIO]
STDOUT=COM TELNET
FOCUSKEY=6
[SERIAL]
COM_BAUD=9600
Refer to the HTML @CHIP-RTOS API Documentation for a complete specification of the entries
possible in this configuration file.

Since SC12@CHIP-RTOS version 1.10Beta / SC13@CHIP-RTOS version 0.91Beta, it is also possible to enter the MAC-address of the
internal Ethernet controller, instead of the serial number.
