Command Line Interface

3-4
Interaction with MOTLoad is performed via a command line interface
through a serial port on the SBC, which is connected to an X-terminal or
other terminal emulator (for example, Window's Hypercomm). The
default MOTLoad serial port settings are: 9600 baud, 8 bits, no parity.
The MOTLoad command line interface is similar to a UNIX command line
shell interface. Commands are initiated by entering a valid MOTLoad
command (a text string) at the MOTLoad command line prompt and
pressing the carriage-return key to signify the end of input. MOTLoad then
performs the specified action. An example of a MOTLoad command line
prompt is shown below. The MOTLoad prompt changes according to what
product it is used on (for example, MVME5500, MVME6100).
Example:
MVME5500>
If an invalid MOTLoad command is entered at the MOTLoad command
line prompt, MOTLoad displays a message that the command was not
found.
Example:
MVME5500> mytest
"mytest" not found
MVME5500>
If the user enters a partial MOTLoad command string that can be resolved
to a unique valid MOTLoad command and presses the carriage-return key,
the command will be executed as if the entire command string had been
entered. This feature is a user-input shortcut that minimizes the required
amount of command line input. MOTLoad is an ever changing firmware
package, so user-input shortcuts may change as command additions are
made.
