Software Checklist

This section provides the hardware and software checklist needed for direct
application downloads. The procedure for direct application downloads is also
discussed.
The correct cable connects the download computer serial port (COM2) to the RS-
232 serial port (COM2) of the V
Download Manager, VeriCentre, or DDL.EXE running on the host computer.
The application file to download (full or partial) is located on the host computer.
The correct keyed record variables exist in the CONFIG.SYS files of the file
groups to store the application files.
Certificate files (*.crt) required for file authentication on the receiving device are
stored in memory or they are located on the host computer, and must download
with the application files.
All required signature files (*.p7s) generated using the VeriShield File Signing Tool
are located on the host computer. One signature file downloads for each
executable (*.out or *.lib) to run on the device.
The filenames in the batch download list on the host computer indicate which
application files to redirect to flash ROM and file groups other than the target
group.
Ensure that filenames and CONFIG.SYS variables to download are correct in
relation to those stored in the memory of the receiving device to avoid accidental
overwrites.
The required system mode and file group passwords are available to make the
required system mode menu selections and to prepare the receiving device to
receive the application download.
Sufficient memory space exists in the SRAM of the target group so that it can
accept the entire download package, including certificates, signature files, and all
data files.
Use the system mode menu options to clear the entire SRAM or flash ROM or
specific file groups on the receiving device (as necessary). Perform a flash ROM
defragment (coalesce) operation to optimize the flash ROM file system (as
necessary, the application itself can issue a function call to defragment the flash
ROM on restart after the download.) For more information on system mode
operations, refer to
