Appendix B Boot Sequence And Downloading Software - Access RAD ASMi-54 Installation And Operation Manual

Appendix B
Boot Sequence and
Downloading Software
This appendix provides a description of the ASMi-54 boot procedure via an ASCII
terminal for downloading software.
The ASMi-54 software is stored in flash memory in two sections, in the boot
sector and in the file system. The boot sector holds a boot program that calls up
the rest of the program from the file system.
The file system can hold two compressed copies of the ASMi-54 code. One copy
is called the operating file, and the other is called the backup file. The operating
file is the default-executable ASMi-54 code. The backup file is used whenever the
operating file is absent or corrupted.
B.1 Booting ASMi-54
ASMi-54 boots up automatically. After powering up, no user intervention is
required, except when the user wants to access the file system to modify or
update the software or the ASMi-54 configuration.
Accessing the Boot Manager
The Boot Manager menu is an option that allows the user to perform basic file
transfer operations. These operations are all optional.
To access the Boot Manager menu:
•
Press <Enter> several times immediately after powering up ASMi-54.
