User’s Manual

If the transfer terminated without problems, you have a working development environment for
the Flashlite controller. To transfer files from the Flashlite to the development PC, use the
DOWN
command described in the Utilities section of this manual.
The Flashlite does not have a hardware clock calendar. The time and date will be maintained by
DOS until the power is cycled. If the correct time and date are required after a power cycle, they
must be set either from the command prompt or via user software. The time and date can be set
with the following commands:
B:\>TIME 13:30:00
Sets the time to 1:30 pm
B:\>DATE 10-29-2002
Sets the date to October 29, 2002
When power is applied to the Flashlite, one of the first things the BIOS initialization code does is
check for a CNTL-C character typed at the console. If this character is typed as soon as the board
is powered up or reset, a flag is set which overrides some of the initialization process. When
DOS runs its
AUTOEXEC.BAT
file on drive A:, the state of the CNTL-C flag is also checked and
any user application set to run on drive B: is not loaded. This insures that a hung application or
quiet console can always be interrupted.
If the CNTL-C flag is not set, the
AUTOEXEC
file will attempt to transfer control to a file named
STARTUP
on drive B:. DOS also looks for and, if present, loads
CONFIG.SYS
from drive B:.
