4.4 Using the Command Line Interface
Interaction with MOTLoad is performed via a command line interface through a serial port on
the single board computer, which is connected to a terminal or terminal emulator (for example,
Window’s Hypercomm). The default MOTLoad serial port settings are: 9600 baud, 8 bits, no
parity.
The MOTLoad command line interface is similar to a UNIX command line shell interface.
Commands are initiated by entering a valid MOTLoad command (a text string) at the MOTLoad
command line prompt and pressing the carriage-return key to signify the end of input. MOTLoad
then performs the specified action. An example of a MOTLoad command line prompt is shown
below. The MOTLoad prompt changes according to what product it is used on (for example,
MVME6100, MVME3100, MVME5500).
Example:
MVME5500>
If an invalid MOTLoad command is entered at the MOTLoad command line prompt, MOTLoad
displays a message that the command was not found.
Example:
MVME5500> mytest
"mytest" not found
MVME5500>
If the user enters a partial MOTLoad command string that can be resolved to a unique valid
MOTLoad command and presses the carriage-return key, the command is executed as if the
entire command string had been entered. This feature is a user-input shortcut that minimizes
the required amount of command line input. MOTLoad is an ever changing firmware package,
so user-input shortcuts may change as command additions are made.
