Re: fconfig in redboot (i386)


Hi,
  Thanks for the fast reply to my doubts. So, it has
to be a writable FLASH memory in order to execute both
commands. I am not sure if my target PC has a writable
Flash memory coz i am using a SBC with compact flash.
Anyhow Gary, you said that i can load files using load
command, which i cant seem to do it. How exactly do
you load a file?? This is how I tried to load a file,
say redboot.bin

 load -h host_ipaddr -m TFTP -b base_addr redboot.bin

After i entered the above command, i always get the
message unable to load "redboot.bin"

Note: my host PC is running on WinXP/Cygwin and target
PC is a SBC with RedBoot installed. 

Thanks!

Cheers,

Robby Ku
