Command Line Rules

There are a few things to remember when entering a MOTLoad command:

Multiple commands are permitted on a single command line, provided they are separated
by a single semicolon (;)

Spaces separate the various fields on the command line (command/arguments/options)

The argument/option identifier character is always preceded by a hyphen (-) character

Options are identified by a single character

Option arguments immediately follow (no spaces) the option

All commands, command options, and device tree strings are case sensitive

Example:

MVME6100> flashProgram –d/dev/flash0 –n00100000
