Console Commands
This chapter describes the console commands that you can enter when the

system is in console mode.

1.1 BOOT
Passes control to the VMB program, which resides on the system ROM. The
format of this command is as follows:

BIOOT] {/[R5:1<bflg>] <ddau>[:]
where:

R5: represents a register, through which the hexadecimal value
represented by <bflg> 1s passed to the VMB.
<bflg> is the boot flag value.
<ddau> is the name of the boot device. It passes to the VMB in register

RO.

The Ethernet network boot device name is ESA0; SCSI boot device names
have the following format.:

ddcull
where:

dd is the device mnemonic

—

¢ is the controller destination (always A)

u is the SCSI ID value of the boot device

Il is the logical unit number

The console program accepts device names in lowercase characters, but it
is recommended that you use uppercase characters. You can specify more

than one boot device, and you can type a colon at the end of the device
names as shown in the command format. You can specify up to two devices

Console Commands

1-1

Console Commands

on the command line. You must separate device names by typing either a
space or a cOmma.

If the NVR contains a default boot device name, the console program passes
the descriptor for this device to the VMB. The VMB then boots the system from
the specified device.

If you do not specify a device name or qualifiers or both in the command, the
* system attempts to boot from the default boot device specified in the NVR. If
the default boot device is not defined ((NULL}), the console program passes

a descriptor for device ESA0 to the VMB program. This triggers the VMB
program to boot the system over the network.

1.2 CONTINUE
Allows you to exit from console mode and enter (or reenter) program mode (the
operating system). The format of this command is as follows:
C[ONTINUE]

The address to which control passes is one of the following:
¢

The address stored in the program counter when the system went into
console mode.

The address that the user specifies using the DEPOSIT command.

1.3 DEPOSIT
Transfers the specified data to the specified address. The format of this
command is as follows:

DIEPOSIT] [{/B | /W I /L 1 /Q 1 /A}] [{/P L /V | M}] /G] [/U] [/N:<n>]
[{<addr> | <sym> | + | - | * | @] [«datum>]]

where:

/[B/W/L/Q/A/P/V/I|G]|U]/N<n>are deposit command qualifiers

(see Table 1-1).

If you do not specify a size or address qualifier, the console program uses
the size and address qualifier of the previous memory-specific command. If
you specify conflicting qualifiers, the console program ignores the command
and generates an error message. The effects of the miscellaneous qualifiers
are not valid outside the command in which they are specified.

1-=2

Console Commands

Note

The /U (unprotect) qualifier allows access to almost any address. If
you do not use the /U qualifier, you can access address locations in
the range 2000.0000 to 3FFF.FFFF (excluding the TOY clock). The /U
qualifier is intended for use only by firmware developers.

<addr> is the hexadecimal address into which you want to deposit the

data.
<sym> is a mnemonic that represents the address into which you want to

deposit data (see Table 1-2).
+ - * @ are operators that you can use for relative memory addressing (see

Table 1-3).
<datum> is the value you want to deposit in the address location you

specify.

Indirect addressing. The format is @<address>, where <address> is a
hexadecimal address used as a pointer to another address. If you do not
specify an address, the address that the command uses is the address
used by the most recent memory referencing command.

Table 14 shows some examples of memory addressing.
Table 1-4

Examples of Memory Addressing

Description

DEPOSIT R0 200

Stares the value 200 in the register R0.

DEPOSIT/P @R0 200

Stores the value 200 in the address pointed to by the
register R0. The /P qualifier specifies that the value in the
RO register is a physical address reference.

DEPOSIT/V @R0 200

Stores the value 200 in the address pointed to by the
register RO. The /V qualifier specifies that the value in the
RO register is a virtual address reference.

DEPOSIT @ 200

Stores the value 200 in the address specified by the most
recent memory referencing command.

1.4 EXAMINE
Displays, in hexadecimal format, the contents of the specified address. The
format of this command is as follows:

E[XAMINE] [(/B } /W 1 /L 1/Q | /A}] [{/P | IV | M}] /G] /U] [/N:i<n>]
[{<addr> I <sym> | + 1 - 1 * | @) [<datum>]]

command uses the same set of qualifiers as the DEPOSIT command (see
Table 1-1).

<addr> is the hexadecimal address into which you want to deposit the
data.

<sym> is a mnemonic that represents the address that you want to
examine. The EXAMINE command uses the same mnemonics as the
DEPOSIT command (see Table 1-2).

specify.

1.5 FIND
Forces the console program to search the main RAM memory (starting at
physical address zero) for the following:
¢

A page-aligned 128K-byte segment of main memory

A restart parameter block (RPB)

If the console program finds a 128K-byte memory segment or an RPB, the
console program places the starting address of the segment or RPB, plus
512, in the stack pointer (SP) register. If the console program does not find a
memory segment or RPB, the console program issues an error message. The
format of this command is as follows:
F{IND] ({MEMORY | /RPB}]

where:

/MEMORY is a qualifier that specifies a search for a 128K-byte, pagealigned segment of memory.

/RPB is a qualifier that specifies a search for an RPB.

The FIND command searches for an RPB if you do not enter a qualifier.

. 1.9 LOGIN
Allows you to put the system in privileged console mode. When the console

security feature is enabled (see Section 1.11.8), and you put the system in
console mode, the system operates in unprivileged console mode. You can
access only a subset of the console commands. To access the full range of
console commands, you must use this command. The format of this command
is as follows:

LO[GIN]

When you enter the command, the system prompts you for a password as
follows:
PSWDO >>

You must enter the current console security password. If you do not enter the

correct password, the system displays the error message, ILL PSWD. When

RE_ENO6469A_91

In general, the LED display shows codes in two fields. The four LEDs on the

left (when viewed from the back of the system unit) display the device number,
whereas the four LEDs on the right display a subtest number. The console
program generates codes in the range EOh to FFh.

When the console terminal does not display the console prompt, the code on

the LED display shows a status that indicates the part of the test diagnostic
firmware that the KA45 CPU module is executing.

When the console terminal displays the console prompt, the code on the LED
display indicates the device that fails a test. Table 6-1 lists the power-up test

and initialization codes.
