Monitor Command Reference

This section describes the syntax and typographic conventions for the ATCA-9305 monitor
commands. Subsequent sections in this chapter describe individual commands, which fall into
the following categories: boot, memory, flash, environment variables, test, and other
commands.

9.5.1

Command Syntax

The monitor uses the following basic command syntax:

The command line accepts three different argument formats: string, numeric, and
symbolic. All command arguments must be separated by spaces with the exception of
argument flags, which are described below.

Monitor commands that expect numeric arguments assume a hexadecimal base.

All monitor commands are case sensitive.

Some commands accept flag arguments. A flag argument is a single character that begins
with a period (.). There is no white space between an argument flag and a command. For
example, md.b 80000 is a valid monitor command, while md .b 80000 is not.

Some commands may be abbreviated by typing only the first few characters that uniquely
identify the command. For example, you can type h instead of help. However, commands
cannot be abbreviated when accessing online help. You must type help and the full
command name.

9.5.2

Command Help

Access all available monitor commands by pressing the ? key or entering help. Access the
monitor online help for individual commands by typing help . The full command
name must be entered to access the online help.
