TCSLOAD(1M)        RISC/os Reference Manual         TCSLOAD(1M)



NAME
     tcs_load - download executable image to Systech serial con-
          troller

SYNOPSIS
     /etc/tcsload [c] imagefile

DESCRIPTION
     /etc/tcsload downloads a binary executable image down to
     the Systech controller during machine bootup, and then
     starts the code.  The image is passed through the hps
     driver.

     This loader expects the downloaded file to be in Systech's
     ".dnl" format

DIAGNOSTICS
     The program is silent about the most common errors.  These
     are communicated through the exit value:

     0) Systech controller  loaded successfully
     1) Load of Systech controller  failed
     2) Cannot load Systech controller /dev/rhp$i does not exist
     3) Systech controller $i already loaded
     6) Systech controller $i not present



OPTIONS
          this causes the loader to reconfigure the on-board
          operating system after downloading.

FILES
     /etc/tcs6236.dnl- executable image for Systech 6236 con-
     troller.
