Note that not all flags are valid for every system. The /S, /B, and /N flags are not
E
valid for SRAM drives and generate an error message when attempts are made to use
these flags on SRAM.
Some examples of the XFORMAT invocation are described below.
XFORMAT /B=a: a:
Formats the flash memory in slot 0 as a DOS system disk from the DOS system disk
in drive a:, and copies all files from device A: to the flash memory (including
subdirectories).
XFORMAT /p=0 /T=S C:\SRAM
Formats the SRAM and copies all files and subdirectories of directory C:\SRAM into
the EPC.
XFORMAT a:
Formats the flash memory and copies all files from device A: to the flash (including
subdirectories). The EPC will not be bootable if not formatted with the /S or /B flag.
XFORMAT /p=0 /N=6 /b=d: C:\FLASH

EPC-27 Hardware Reference
System Flag. Creates a bootable disk image using the DOS system
files on the disk that XFORMAT is invoked from.
This operation fails if it cannot find the operating system files.
This flag is for use with flash disks only.
Type Flag. Specifies the type of format to be performed. When
<type> is S, the function formats the SRAM.
Volume Label Flag. Prompts for a disk volume label. A volume
label identifies the disk and can be a maximum of 11 characters.
The label conforms to the MS-DOS convention, thus the following
are not allowed: * . + , : ; < > = ? [ ] \ / | ( ) ^ & . Label letters are
converted to upper case.
