strap Loader command mode and resets the entire system, generating a system reset
with the onboard watchdog.

5.2.6

Help

Syntax

?

or help

Description

This command prints the online help page. The display of the help text varies between
the different CPU’s reflecting their differences.

5.2.7

PCI Bus Configuration

Syntax

Pci

Description

Displays the PCI configuration. This includes assigned addresses in memory, the I/O
space and the assigned interrupt line.

5.3 Plug and Play

On the VMP1 the Bootstrap Loader includes “Plug and Play” functionality. This ensures
that the board is completely initialized and that all resources necessary for PCI devices
(addresses, interrupts etc.) are assigned automatically. This important feature has the
advantage that conflicts do not arise when PCI devices are added or removed. Further-
more, the OS itself does not include the board initialisation code.
