IPL Error Detection
While receiving data, IPL performs many checks on the data to ensure that the data is received correctly. If IPL detects an error, it
immediately aborts the download and reports the error on an error window.
Error windows vary depending on the action performed. Figure 6-14 shows a sample error window.
Figure 6-14. IPL Error Window
This error message window displays until a key press, then IPL returns to the Initial Program Loader main menu to wait for a new
selection.
To find the probable cause of the error, use the error number and/or the error text on the window to locate the error in Table 6-5.
Table 6-5. IPL Errors
Error Text Error Number Probable Cause

failure; the mobile computer requires servicing.

connectivity and retry.
Can't open the destination -8 An error occurred opening the destination device (either flash ROM or Power Micro). Retry the
download. If the failure persists, it is most likely due to a hardware failure; the mobile computer
requires servicing.
Can't read from the source device -9 The source device (either radio card or serial port) could not be read. Check source device connectivity
and retry.
Can't write to the destination
device
-10 Cannot write to the destination device (either flash ROM or Power Micro). Retry the download. If the
failure persists, it is most likely due to a hardware failure; the mobile computer requires servicing.
Transmission checksum error -11 An error occurred during transmission from the source device (either radio card or serial port) and the
checksum check failed. Check source device connectivity and retry.
Readback checksum error -12 A checksum, generated from reading back data written to the destination device, was incorrect. An
error during transmission or a write error to the destination device could cause this.
