NAME

loadplug − Load a code plug from a hex file into an xcat board using xcatctl

SYNOPSIS

loadplug plugfile

DESCRIPTION

Loadplug reads plugfile to obtain the code plug to be loaded. If hexfile is - then loadplug reads standard input. The code plug is transmitted to the xcat board starting with mode 1, and continuing to the end of the hex file, or until 32 modes have been loaded. The format of the hex file is as follows:

One line per mode

Sixteen bytes represented per line

Each byte is represented by two hex digits

Hex digit pairs are separated by a single space

This is the native output format for the syntorxgen (1) program.

Loadplug calls xcatctl (1) once for each mode to be loaded.

ENVIRONMENT

Loadplug passes any command line arguments found in the XCATCTLARGS environment variable to xcatctl for its use. This is a good place to specify the serial device (COM port) to which your xcat board is connected.

The xcatctl program must be in the current path.

BUGS

Doubtless there are many.
