Flash Image System (FIS)

fis free
DESCRIPTION
This command shows which areas of the flash memory are currently not in use. 'In use' means
that the block contains non-erased contents. Since it is possible to force an image to be loaded
at a particular flash location, this command can be used to check whether that location is in use
by any other image.

Note: There is currently no cross-checking between actual flash contents and the image
directory, which means that there could be a segment of flash which is not erased that
does not correspond to a named image, or vice-versa.

DESCRIPTION
This command creates an image in the FIS directory. The data for the image must exist in
RAM memory before the copy. Typically, you would use the RedBoot load command to load
an image into RAM and then the

name:
: The location in RAM used to obtain the image. This is a required option.
-b
: The length of the image. If the image already exists, then the length is inferred from
-l
when the image was previously created. If specified, and the image exists, it must match the
original value.
: The location in flash for the image, which will be inferred for extant images if not speci-

: The execution entry address. This is used if the starting address for an image is not

known, or needs to be overridden.
: The location in RAM when the image is loaded via

specified for images which will eventually loaded via
Boot itself, will not need this.
: The length of the actual data to be written to flash. If not present then the image length (-
