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. + +.SH AUTHORS +Peter Voser, peter.voser@siemens.ch +.br +Juergen Messerer, juergen.messerer@siemens.ch + |
