+.TH serload 1 19.08.2001 Distribution "SIMpad Serial Download"
+.SH NAME
+serload - Downloading a new image to the SIMpad
+
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.B serload
+.I [IMAGEFILENAME] [ttyS-PORT]
+
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.B serload
+downloads a new image to the SIMpad using
+the serial port. You need to connect the SIMpad
+to your PC with the delivered serial crossover cable
+and execute
+.B serload
+with the image name as parameter.
+As an optional parameter, you can provide the serial port
+for
+.B serload
+to use, otherwise, /dev/ttyS0 is assumed as
+default.
+.B serload
+will ask you to reset the SIMpad to
+download the new image. Depending on the image, it will
+be burnt into the Flash or directly executed in the
+RAM without burning.
+.P
+You can update the operating system,
+the firmware (PBL), and the bootloader with this utility. Updating
+the bootloader needs two steps: 1st downloading/burning
+a special bootloader (the so-called alternativ bootloader),
+2nd downloading/burning the new bootloader.
