(C) WP137x.EXE
WP137x.EXE This program demonstrates how to enable and disable software write protected function. It
also shows the current protect mode of write or read only memory.
(D) RFG.EXE
RFG.EXE This program is used to generate ROM pattern files in a binary format. Each ROM pattern file
has the same size as the FLASH or EPROM and can be easily programmed on to the FLASH
with on-board programmer or on to EPROM with any EPROM programmer. If you have
specified a DOS drive in the *.PGF file, RFG will generate bootable ROM pattern files for the
EPROM or FLASH disk. The RFG supports the following DOS:MS-DOS, PC-DOS, DR-DOS,
and X-DOS.
NOTE: If you want to use AR-B137x with any DOS, which is not supported by RFG, please send your requirement
to Acrosser Technology Co., Ltd. or contract with your local sales representative.
The RFG.EXE provided in the utility diskette is a program that converts the files you list in the PGF and convert
them into ROM pattern file. The RFG will determine how many EPROMs are needed and generate the same
number of ROM pattern files. These ROM pattern files are named with the name assigned by the ROM_NAME in
the PGF and the extension names are *.R01, *.R02….etc. To generate ROM pattern files.
The ROM File Generator main menu will be displayed on the screen. There are 7 options on the main menu. They
serve the following functions:
Quit to DOS
Quits and exits to the DOS
OS Shell
Exits from the RFG temporarily to the DOS prompt. Type <EXIT> to return to the RFG main menu.
Load PFG File
If this option is used, the RFG will prompt you for the PGF file name. This option is useful if you have not
previously entered a PGF name or you wish to use a different PGF file. The RFG will check and display the
PGF filename, ROM pattern file name, EPROM capacity, DOS version and the number of ROM pattern files
that will be generated.
Type Current PGF File
This option instructs the RFG to use the DOS type command to display the contents of the current PGF file.
Generate ROM File(s)
If there is no mistake in your *.PGF file, then this menu option will generate ROM pattern files. The number
of ROM pattern file generated by the RFG will depend on the total capacity needed by your files. For
instance, if 3 files are generated, then you will need to use 3 EPROMs (The size depends upon the number
stated in your PGF). The ROM pattern files will have the same file names, but will have different extension
names. For example:
TEST.R01, TEST.R02, TEST.R03…etc.
Display Error in PGF File
This option displays errors that were detected in your PGF.
Help to PGF File
This option gives information on how to write a PGF file and how to generate ROM pattern files. An
example PGF is also included.
Move the reverse video bar to <Generate ROM File(s)> then press [ENTER]. The ROM pattern file is a
binary file. The file size will be the same size as the EPROM that you assigned in the PGF. For example, if
you are using 128KX8 EPROM memory chips, then the size of ROM patterns file will be 131072 bytes. For
other chips the file size will be:
64KX8 EPROM----65536 bytes
256KX8 EPROM—262144 bytes
512KX8 EPROM---524288 bytes
1MX8 EPROM -----1048576 bytes
