MCE BOOT CODE Release Notes: ---------------------------- MCE II Boot v1.00 06-Oct-1999 LWIL ---------------------------------- - Debugged on the MCE II board. - This version of the MCE boot code is only for the newer MCE II board. It no longer supports the original MCE I board. - MUST be linked against baseline build #1395 or newer. MCE Boot v1.03 09-Apr-1999 LWIL ------------------------------- - The binary download now does not erase the flash sector containing the FW DIR, until after a successfull binary download. Now, if a binary download is aborted, only the fw component being downloaded will be missing/corrupt. Other fw components will still be intact. The binary download also now properly implements a 10 second timeout on aborted downloads. Note that the very first download character does not have a timeout on it. - The Boot code now ignores the 'Stay In Boot' memory flag if a cold powerup. - Implimented a main code execution retry counter. The BOOT code will attempt to execute the main firmware up to 5 times, before it will give up and stay in boot code mode. - MCE Boot code uses SMN (Small Monitor) Subsystem version 1.05 MCE Boot v1.02 23-Nov-98 LWIL ----------------------------- - Added simulated IDLE led usage. - Adjusted sign-on message strings, amount and order. - Installed simple exception handler.
