Emerson 752I Manuel D’Utilisation

Katana®752i User’s Manual

The Katana®752i monitor is based on the Embedded PowerPC Linux Boot Project (PPC-
Boot) boot program, available under the GNU General Public License (GPL). For instructions 
on how to obtain the source code for this GPL program, please visit http://www.emerson-
embeddedcomputing.com, send an e-mail to support@artesyncp.com, or call Emerson at 
1-800-327-1251. This chapter describes the monitor’s basic features, operation, and con-
figuration sequences. This chapter also serves as a reference for the monitor commands 
and functions.

The Katana®752i monitor uses a command-line interface with the following features:

After entering a command, you can re-execute it simply by pressing the ENTER or RETURN 
key.

You can use the TFTP protocol to load application images via Ethernet into the 
Katana®752i’s memory.

You can store specific boot commands in the environment to be executed automatically 
after reset.

You can write application images into Flash via the PPCBoot command line.

At power-up or after a reset, the monitor runs diagnostics and reports the results in the 
start-up display, see 

. During the power-up sequence, the monitor configures the 

board according to the environment variables (see page 15-27) and settings in the Board 
Configuration registers (see page 6-4). If the configuration indicates that autoboot is 
enabled, the monitor attempts to load the application from the specified device. If the 
monitor is not configured for autoboot or a failure occurs during power-up, the monitor 
enters normal command-line mode.
