Ipl Error Detection - Symbol MC3000 Integrator Manual

IPL Error Detection

While receiving data, IPL performs many checks on the data to ensure that the data is received correctly. If an error is detected, IPL
immediately aborts the download, and reports the error on an error screen.
Error screens may vary depending on the action being performed. A sample error screen may look like the screen pictured below:
This error message screen displays until a key is pressed. Once the screen is acknowledged, IPL returns to the Initial Program Loader
main menu to wait for a new selection.
To find the probable cause of the error, use the error number and/or the error text displayed on the screen to look up the error in
6-4.

Error Number
-1 A general error occurred. Retry the download. If the failure persists, it is most likely due to a hardware
failure; the mobile computer requires servicing.
-2 The user cancelled the download.
-7 An error occurred opening the source device (either radio card or serial port). Check source device
connectivity and retry.
-8 An error occurred opening the destination device (either flash ROM or Power Micro). Retry the
download. If the failure persists, it is most likely due to a hardware failure; the mobile computer requires
servicing.
-9 The source device (either radio card or serial port) could not be read from. Check source device
connectivity and retry.
-10 The destination device (either flash ROM or Power Micro) could not be written to. Retry the download.
If the failure persists, it is most likely due to a hardware failure; the mobile computer requires servicing.
-11 An error occurred during transmission from the source device (either radio card or serial port) and the
checksum check failed. Check source device connectivity and retry.
-12 A checksum, generated from reading back data that was written to the destination device, was
incorrect. An error during transmission or a write error to the destination device could cause this.
-14 There is no more heap space available for the download procedure. Restart IPL and retry the download.
If the failure persists, contact service with details of what is being downloaded.
