This command is unavailable if ÔJ6 modeÕ is not select-
ed.
1) Save Eprom: This command is used to save the contents of one eight bit
channel of the attached Brick to your computer as a text
file.
It first asks which of the four possible channels you
would like to save, then tells you to prepare your computer
to receive a ÔtextÕ file. When prompted, the Micro Console
will start sending out data starting at the Start Frame, and
continuing to the End Frame.
When the download is complete, you will need to tell
your computer to close the file that was being saved, and
then hit an <ESC>ape to redraw the screen.
The format of these Eprom files is standard Intel ÔHEXÕ.
This can be sent directly to any commercially available
Eprom burner. Intel HEX only supports files of up to 65,536
in size. If you are downloading a larger file than this your
Eprom burner may have some trouble with it. If this is the
case, you can save the Eprom into a number of files of less
than 65,536 each.
The Bricks must be connected to the Micro Console by
the Smart Brick Network (for Smart Bricks) or J8 (for Dumb
Bricks) for this command to work. The Dumb Brick must also
be configured to accept start and reset on its Green Input
and External Clock on the Blue. This command is unavail-
able if ÔJ6 modeÕ is not selected. Your computer must be
configured for ÔACK/NAKÕ or ÔXon/XoffÕ handshaking to use
this command.
2) Verify Eprom: This command is used to compare the contents of one
eight bit channel of the attached Brick a file that was previ-
ously saved to your computer using the Save Eprom com-
mand. It first asks which of the four possible channels you
would like to verify, then tells you to send a file for compar-
ison. The Micro Console will start comparing the data start-
ing at the Start Frame, and continuing to the End Frame.
If there is an error the Micro Console will tell you the
frame at which it occurred. The Green LEDs will show the
data that was expected and the Red LEDs will show you
what the Brick had in it. You will need to stop the file down-
load BEFORE you hit the <ESC>ape key to clear the Micro
Console.
If the comparison is successful you will need to hit an
<ESC>ape to redraw the screen.
The Bricks must be connected to the Micro Console by
the Smart Brick Network (for Smart Bricks) or J8 (for Dumb
Bricks) for this command to work. The Dumb Brick must also
be configured to accept start and reset on its Green Input
and External Clock on the Blue. This command is unavail-
able if ÔJ6 modeÕ is not selected. Your computer must be
configured for ÔACK/NAKÕ or ÔXon/XoffÕ handshaking to use
this command.
3) Restore Eprom: This command is used to receive a file from your computer
and store it in one eight bit channel of the attached Brick.
