MOTLoad Firmware 
7.1
Overview
This chapter describes the basic features of the MOTLoad firmware product, designed by 
Motorola as the next generation initialization, debugger and diagnostic tool for high-
performance embedded board products using state-of-the-art system memory controllers and 
bridge chips, such as the MV64360.
In addition to an overview of the product, this chapter includes a list of standard MOTLoad 
commands and the default CompactPCI settings that are changeable by the user, as allowed 
by the firmware.

MOTLoad Description
The MOTLoad firmware package serves as a board power-up and initialization package, as well 
as a vehicle from which user applications can be booted. A secondary function of the MOTLoad 
firmware is to serve in some respects as a test suite providing individual tests for certain 
devices.
MOTLoad is controlled through an easy-to-use, UNIX-like, command line interface. The 
MOTLoad software package is similar to many end-user applications designed for the 
embedded market, such as the real time operating systems currently available.
Refer to the MOTLoad Firmware Package User’s Manual, listed in 
, for more details.

MOTLoad Implementation and Memory 
Requirements
The implementation of CPCI-6115 CompactPCI Single Board Computer and its memory 
requirements are product specific. The CPCI-6115 single-board computer (SBC) is offered with 
a wide range of memory (for example, DRAM, external cache, flash). Typically, the smallest 
amount of on-board DRAM that a Motorola SBC has is 32MB. Each supported Motorola product 
line has its own unique CPCI-6115 CompactPCI Single Board Computer binary image(s). 
Currently the largest CPCI-6115 CompactPCI Single Board Computer compressed image is 
less than 1MB in size.
