R - [R]eceive new boot image from serial port
This will start the ZMODEM transfer engine that transfers a single binary
bootrom image file to POST using the service port. It should not be used to
receive other kinds of binary image files. If the transfer is successful then
POST will program the bootrom image into the FLASH memory device.
While waiting for the file, POST will display:
**B000000023be50
At this point the operator may transfer the bootrom “.bin” file to POST using
the ZMODEM protocol. Refer to terminal emulator documentation for details
on how to do this. After the file is transferred, POST will display:
File transfer and update PASSED
ZMODEM Messages:
Writing to flash:MMMMMMMM-NNNN
MMMMMMMM is the address that is being written in FLASH memory and
NNNN is the length of the image. At this point the operator should choose
option “B”, Cold [B]oot from primary bootrom.” If errors are encountered,
POST will display appropriate messages along with the line:
File transfer and update FAILED
V- full [V]ersion information
This command will cause POST to display its version number, build date, the
machine it was built on, and the user who built it. The display will look like:
POST version 0402.02 Built Apr 4 2001, 15:24:06 on TANGLEFOOT by

Error Displays
POST will flash the ERR LED along with the LEDs associated with any failed
test. Refer to the LED assignments in the normal POST sequence. Error
messages may also be displayed on the service port.
