Bootstrap Configuration
The Bootstrap Configuration Menu displays (and allows you to change) the
bootstrap parameters used for loading the software for the IntraCore 8000 at
startup, and for downloading a new version of software when one is issued.
To access the Bootstrap Configuration Menu, type b in the Configuration
Menu. If the Load Mode is set to Local, a screen similar to Figure 3-6
appears.
Figure 3-6 Local Bootstrap Configuration Menu
When the IntraCore 8000 is powered on, it loads its software via one of two
methods: locally (via its internal flash memory, which is the default setting)
or remotely over the network.
I Important: The default Load Mode setting for the
IntraCore 8000 is Local.
Image Banks
The IntraCore 8000 has two banks to store its runtime software. The banks
are referred to as bank 1 and bank 2.
Either of these banks may be the Boot Bank, which is the bank from which
the runtime code will be loaded the next time the IntraCore 8000 is booted.
When downloading new runtime image codes, you may specify either of the
two banks as the Destination Bank in which the new code will be loaded.
