     393DL(1M)                                          393DL(1M)



     NAME
          393dl - download MVME393 and MVME395 graphics
          controllers

     SYNOPSIS
          393dl [-f file] board-id
          393dl [-f file] all

     DESCRIPTION
          393dl is a GSE system administration utility designed
          to support the X server executing on the MVME393 or
          MVME395 graphics controller boards.  Each board
          contains two processors: a Motorola MC68000 or MC68020
          and a Texas Instruments TI34010.  These processors are
          designated as the local processor and graphics
          processor respectively.  393dl performs board
          initialization and then downloads executable code to
          each of these processors.  The processors are then
          started.

     OPTIONS
          -f
            By default, the system configuration file
            /etc/X.config is used.  However, this may be
            overridden by the -f filename option, where filename
            is the full pathname of a configuration file to be
            used.

          board-id
            Downloads one specific board, defined by board-id.
            board-id should correspond to a label in the BOARD
            SECTION of X.config(4).  Any errors are reported on
            the stderr stream.

          all
            Downloads all configured boards.  Downloading is done
            in parallel, and a report is printed for each board
            being downloaded.  The completion status (OK or ERR)
            is included in the report.  The user is also notified
            when all downloading is complete.

          The configuration file BOARD SECTION and TIMING SECTION
          are used to determine (a) the name of the local
          processor executable, (b) the name of the graphics
          processor executable, (c) the load device, and (d) the
          appropriate timing parameters.

     SEE ALSO
          Xserver(1), X.config(4)

          subsequent GSE releases are not compatible with earlier
          versions of the configuration file.

     BUGS
          Most device errors, including an attempt to download a
          board containing a currently executing X server, will
          be misreported as No such device or address.

     FILES
