NAME

hps_load − download to an MVME338 host adapter board

SYNOPSIS

hps_load [−c] [−n] [ −d device_name
 
device_file

DESCRIPTION

The hps_load program downloads executable code onto an MVME338 or MVME339 host adapter, optionally downloads new MVME338 HPSX operating system configuration tables, and starts the downloaded code.  The default host adapter device is /dev/xedt/mvme338_c0.  In addition, the default is to invoke the  hps_cload utility to download devices on the MVME338 network upon successful conclusion of MVME338 host adapter download. 
 

OPTIONS

The following options are available:

-cReconfigure the on-board operating system after downloading.  This should normally be present for Systech-provided download code. This option is only valid for MVME338 controllers. 

−d Specify the device file device_name for the MVME338 or MVME339 board. 

−n Do not invoke hps_cload utility.  The hps_cload only applies to MVME338 boards.  Use −n on MVME339 boards. 
 

EXAMPLES

The following command:

 
hps_load −c −d /dev/xedt/mvme338_c0 /usr/sbin/mvme338/tcs6200.dnl
 

is executed during system startup usually from the /etc/rc, /etc/brc, or /etc/inittab file and there is no need to execute it manually.
