The eFlash configuration file
The eFlash configuration file is an optional file located at
\root\cas\log\.eflashrc
. A Picture Perfect
operator can use this file to define flashing requirements for the entire system once, and then use part or all of
the definition to flash or reflash controllers as needed. This file can be used for scheduling unattended flashing.
This file can contain a combination of command line arguments, processing rules, and comments.
Table 37. eFlash configuration file
Arguments
All of the following command line options can be included, either one per line or you may
concatenate many options per line.controller
-p<directory>
Specifies the source directory to search for
flash files. This replaces the default directory
of /cas/flash/ eflash.
-f<filename>
Specifies a flash file to use instead of the
default flash used for direct connect type
controllers (PX).
-n<filename>
Specifies a flash file to use instead of the
default flash used for network type controllers
(PXN).
-m<micro id>
Specifies the controller or controllers to be
flashed.
-m a
Specifies that all active controllers in the
Picture Perfect database be flashed.
-l<micro id>
Specifies a controller in a line of controllers,
where the entire line is to be flashed.
Note:
If options are repeated, only the last value read from the file is used. The
exceptions are the -m and -l options, which use all specified controllers.
Processing Rules
Parameters that control the flashing of the controllers during the current execution of
eFlash may be included. The following two parameters may be included:
flashwait=value(in seconds)
Sets the time that eFlash waits for the
controller to actually flash the EPROM. The
flash of a controller is considered a failure if
the flash times out. The default is 90
seconds.
maxflash=value(in seconds)
Sets the maximum number of controllers that
can be flashed simultaneously. The actual
number of controllers that is being currently
flashed will always be less than this value
due to restrictions on flashing multiple
controllers in the same line. The default is 5.
Note
: Setting this number to a higher value
can impact the response time of the
system. You should keep this number
low for best performance.
Comments
The eFlash configuration file may contain comments. A comment is a line that begins
with the pound sign (#). The pound sign and all characters up through the next carriage
return are ignored.
