GO(1prom)           RISC/os Reference Manual            GO(1prom)



NAME
     go - transfer control to a program or start a CPU

SYNOPSIS
     go [entry]
     go -c cpu_number
     go entry cpu_number

DESCRIPTION
     The go command transfers control to code assumed to have
     been previously loaded with the boot(1prom), load(1prom), or
     sload(1prom) commands. The entry variable is the address of
     the entry point and specifies the address at which the CPU
     begins executing. If you do not specify entry, the go com-
     mand transfers control to the entry point of the last loaded
     or booted module.

     As shown under the synopsis above, there are three varia-
     tions of this command.  The first variation applies to all
     types of computers. The last two apply only to RC8360 com-
     puters capable of supporting multiple processors.

     The second version of go (-c cpu_number) starts the slave
     CPU specified by cpu_number at the last load address. The
     third version uses cpu_number with entry and lets you choose
     a specific slave processor to start at the address specified
     by entry.

EXAMPLES
     Example 1: Enter the following command to start a uniproces-
     sor computer at the last load address:

          go

     This command also starts the master CPU on a multiprocessor
     computer at the last load address.

     Example 2: On both uniprocessor and multiprocessor comput-
     ers, enter the following command to start the CPU (master on
     multiprocessors) at address a0300000:

          go 0xa0300000


     Example 3: On a multiprocessor computer, enter the following
     command to start slave CPU 3 at the last load address:

          go -c 3


     Example 4: On a multiprocessor computer, enter the following
     command to start slave CPU 1 at address bfc02754:

CAUTIONS
     When you do not specify an entry point, go does not check
     that a module has previously been loaded.
