Management Processor Monitor
9.1 Overview
The ATCA-9305 monitor is based on the Embedded PowerPC Linux Universal Boot (U-Boot)
Project program, available under the GNU General Public License (GPL). For instructions on
how to obtain the source code for this GPL program, please visit
www.artesyn.com .
This chapter describes the monitor’s basic features, operation, and configuration sequences.
This chapter also serves as a reference for the monitor commands and functions.
9.2 Command-Line Features
The ATCA-9305 monitor uses a command-line interface with the following features:
Auto-Repeat
After entering a command, you can re-execute it simply by pressing the ENTER or RETURN key.
Command History
Recall previously entered commands using the up and down arrow keys.
TFTP Boot
You can use the TFTP protocol to load application images via Ethernet into the ATCA-9305’s
memory.
Auto-Boot
You can store specific boot commands in the environment to be executed automatically after
reset.
Flash Programming
You can write application images into flash via the U-Boot command line. The upper 1 MB at
the base of flash and 128 KB of each flash bank is reserved for the monitor and environment
variables (see “
MPC8548 Memory Map ”). One megabyte is reserved at the second bank of flash.
The moninit command will load both banks of flash with the monitor and default environment
variables.
