## DESCRIPTION

*ao-rawload* loads the specified .ihx file, without modification, into the target device flash or ram (depending on the base address of the .ihx file).

- \-T tty-device \| --tty tty-device

  This selects which tty device the debugger uses to communicate with the target device. The special name 'BITBANG' directs ao-dbg to use the cp2103 connection, otherwise this should be a usb serial port connected to a suitable cc1111 debug node.

- \-D AltOS-device \| --device AltOS-device

  Search for a connected device. This requires an argument of one of the following forms:

-

  TeleMetrum:2\
   TeleMetrum\
   2

-

  Leaving out the product name will cause the tool to select a suitable product, leaving out the serial number will cause the tool to match one of the available devices.

- \-r \| --run

  After the file has been loaded, set the PC to the base address of the image and resume execution there. the .ihx file.

## USAGE

*ao-rawload* reads the specified .ihx file into memory. It then connects to the specified target device and writes the program to the target device memory and, optionally, starts the program executing.
