NBL Operation NetBootLoader

2.2 Network Accessing
To support application development and operational requirements for various boot strategies,
the NetBootLoader provides several functions for gaining access to network services. These
functions include: access to DHCP/BOOTP servers, accessing TFTP servers, accessing FTP
servers, and having access to the target CPU from remote locations.
To achieve this, certain network parameters must first be configured. This can be done manu-
ally via a terminal (primary serial port) or dynamically via the network (an Ethernet port). If the
required parameters are known, they can be set with the NET command. Otherwise, the com-
mand DHCP makes it possible to download such parameters and to configure an Ethernet port
for network operation. Once the Ethernet port is configured, the commands TFTP and FTP are
available to download bootable images and other files as required. For remote access to the
CPU module, either telnet or the Serial Over LAN feature may be used.
The following table provides an overview of available TFTP/FTP server and remote accessing
functions.
SCRIPT - NBL command scripting Contents are executed only during boot up
SETCORE - Set or display core number For CPUs with multicore processors
SPEED - Set or display fast booting
SQ Boot Sequence Set or display boot sequence Defines the image boot order
SWAP - Set or display NBL Flash usage For CPUs with two NBL Flashes
