fore_dnld(8)

NAME

fore_dnld - download FORE Systems' microcode into host ATM

adapter

SYNOPSIS

fore_dnld [-3] [-i intf] [-d path] [-f objfile] [-r]

DESCRIPTION

The fore_dnld utility downloads FORE Systems' microcode into

the host ATM
adapter(s).

OPTIONS

-i intf

Specify which ATM interface to download microcode

to. Default is
to load microcode into all FORE Systems host

adapters.

-d path

Specify the path to prepend to the objfile name.

Default is to
use current directory.

-f objfile

Specify the microcode binary file. Defaults are:

sba200.obj for
SBA-200 adapters, sba200e.obj for SBA-200E adapters,

and
pca200e.bin for PCA-200E adapters.

NOTES

For the PCA200E adapter, if no file is specified on the com

mand line a
built-in copy of version 4.1.12 microcode is used. When the

option -3 is
specified version 3.0.1 microcode is used instead.

Microcode as distributed by FORE Systems is not ready for

downloading
directly into SBA host ATM adapters. Instead, the supplied

microcode
needs to be processed with the objcopy(1) command to create

an image
suitable for downloading. Arguments to objcopy(1) are ``-S

-l -Fcoff''.

Microcode as distributed by FORE Systems for the PCA host

ATM adapter
does not need to be processed.
