At power-up or after a reset, the monitor runs diagnostics and reports the results in the start-
up display, see

Figure 9-1

. During the power-up sequence, the monitor configures the board

according to the environment variables (see “MPC8548 Environment Variables” on

MPC8548

Environment Variables

on page 260

). If the configuration indicates that autoboot is enabled, the

monitor attempts to load the application from the specified device. If the monitor is not
configured for autoboot or a failure occurs during power-up, the monitor enters normal
command-line mode. Also, the optional “e-keying” environment variable enables connections
at power-up, for debug purposes only, to the Update Channel and payload ports that go off the
ATCA-9305. See

Table 9-7

for more information.

The monitor command prompt in

Figure 9-1

is the result of a successful hardware boot of the

ATCA-9305.
