FORE_DNLD(8) BSD System Manager's Manual FORE_DNLD(8)NAMEfore_dnld — download FORE Systems' microcode into host ATM adapter
SYNOPSISfore_dnld [-intf] [-d path] [-f objfile]
DESCRIPTION
The fore_dnld utility downloads FORE Systems' microcode into the host ATM
adapter(s).
OPTIONS-i intf
Specify which ATM interface to download microcode to. Default is
to load microcode into all FORE Systems host adapters.
-d path
Specify the path to prepend to the objfile name. Default is to
use current directory.
-f objfile
Specify the microcode binary file. Defaults are: sba200.obj for
SBA-200 adapters, sba200e.obj for SBA-200E adapters, and
pca200e.bin for PCA-200E adapters.
NOTES
For the PCA200E adapter, if no file is specified on the command line a
built-in copy of version 3.0.1 microcode is used.
Microcode as distributed by FORE Systems is not ready for downloading
directly into SBA host ATM adapters. Instead, the supplied microcode
needs to be processed with the objcopy(1) command to create an image
suitable for downloading. Arguments to objcopy(1) are “-S -l -Fcoff”.
Microcode as distributed by FORE Systems for the PCA host ATM adapter
does not need to be processed.

microcode as supplied by FORE Systems for SBA adapters.
