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:
This screen displays until you press Action. Once the screen is acknowledged, IPL returns
to the Main Menu screen to wait for a new selection.
The cause of the error displays under the Download Failed! indication. The errors that can
be reported, and the probable cause of the error, are as follows:
Error
Invalid Image
Partition Not Defined
Wrong Partition
Image Too Big
12-18
IPL VER X.XX
Download Failed!
Error Condition
Press Action to
return to Main Menu
This error occurs if another record is received before the Header
Record. Ensure the Header Record is the first record downloaded.
The destination code is part of the Header record and is used as an
index into the partition table. The partition table entry located at this
index contains partition information for the data downloaded. If the
AutoSelect option is selected, a check is made to ensure that valid
partition information exists in the partition table at this index. The
check verifies that the Area Name and Sector Size are both non-
zero. If not, this error occurs.
If a specific partition is selected from the partition list, and the
destination code of the Header record downloaded does not match
the index of that partition, this error occurs. For example, this
occurs if the operator builds an image for "application" and names
it "platform" by mistake.
The size of the image is also part of the Header record. If the data
to be written exceeds the size of the partition as indicated in the
partition table, this error occurs.
