Introduction
The Bootstrap Loader is a stand alone software located in FLASH memory which allows the user to safely update the con-
tents of the FLASH and delay the boot process for a specified time.
The Bootstrap Loader has the capability of programming FLASH memory from MOTOROLA S-records or from an abso-
lute address. If the programmed image does not work, the Bootstrap Loader can be entered again. The memory contents
can be examined and another programming cycle initiated.
The Bootstrap Loader is delivered already installed in DM60x memory piggybacks.
Please read this user manual before reprog}amming any FLASH memory.
WARNING !
When programming FLASH memory, *NEVER* press the RESET button or cyole power! This may da-
mage the Bootstrap Loader and will consequently leave the board unusable due to damaged FLASH
contents. The ABORT button may be used to cancel a running operation.
