load {file} [-v] [-b location] [-r] [-m {[xmodem]|[ymodem]|[tftp]} ] [-h
host_IP_address]
DESCRIPTION
The load command is used to download data into the target system. Data can be loaded via a
network connection, using either the TFTP protocol, or the console serial connection using the
X/Y modem protocol. Files may also be loaded directly from local filesystems on disk.
Files to be downloaded may either be executable images in SREC (see "SREC" page -19) for-
mat or raw data.

Arguments

file The name of the file on the TFTP server.
Display a small spinner (indicator) while the download is in progress. This is just for feed-
-v
back, especially during long loads. Note that the option has no effect when using a serial
download method since it would interfere with the protocol.
Specify the location in memory to which the file should be loaded. Executable images nor-
-b
mally load at the location to which the file was linked. This option allows the file to be loaded
to a specific memory location, possibly overriding any assumed location.
Download raw data. Normally, the load command is used to load executable images into
-r
memory. This option allows for raw data to be loaded. If this option is given, -b will also be
required.
The -m option is used to select the download method. The choices are:
-m
xmodem, ymodem, zmodem serial download using standard protocols over the console
serial port. When using this method, the file parameter is not required.
Network based download using the TFTP protocol.
tftp
Used explicitly to name a host computer to contact for the download data. This works in
-h
TFTP mode only.
