Programming from an Absolute Address
The second way to program Flash memory is to program it from an absolute address.
The image to be programmed must be located in a visible address range, for example
on the VMEbus. A memory card with battery-backup, Flash or EPROM can be used to
hold the image to program. If we assume that the image is located at 0x87000000 and is
0x123456 bytes large we must type the following at the command prompt of the Boot-
strap Loader:
lf -m=87000000 -l=123456
The characters which are now displayed have the same meaning as if we are program-
ming from S-records, but the time needed for each step to be completed may be longer
because the loader tries to program with the largest possible block size that it can man-
age.
Again, '-c' can be used to clear untouched sectors.
!
Warning!
Quiet operation is not supported, and also it is not possible to
specify any offset.
Please note also that programming cannot be canceled with
ABORT.
