pc532down1

Usage

Overview

pc532down is a utility to support downloading to the monitor ROM on a pc532 system. If you don't already know what a pc532 is, you don't want to know, and you don't want this utility. This utility is also provided as part of the pc532 distribution of NetBSD under the name 'download.c'.

The command is typically called as a subprocessor from a terminal emulation program, to slurp up a file on the host system and spew it out the serial port using the stdio redirection supported by most terminal emulators.

The default behaviour is to open "file" and ship it out standard output with the format expected by the pc532 ROM monitor's download command.

If the '-r' option is specified, it assumes that standard input was generated by a pc532down. In this case, the input is captured, the CRC is checked, and the data is stored in "nfile". This is mostly useful for testing.
