-O (Alpha) "Override" option. SETUP.COM will not operate in a system with the extended
BIOS disabled. The "O" option can be used to override this condition.
@file.ext Sets the contents of the CoreModule/PC's EEPROM Configuration Memory to the
data in the file specified. The file name may contain an optional drive and path.
Wfile.ext Write NOVRAM and EEPROM contents to the file specified. The file name may
contain an optional drive and path.
Using SETUP With a Configuration File
You can save a copy of the current contents of the board's Configuration Memory to a disk file by
using the W switch. The data saved includes the entire contents of the nonvolatile configuration
EEPROM, with the exception of the current time and date parameters. The first 512 bits are the
SETUP information, the last 512 bits are available for OEM storage. (See Ampro Application Note
AAN-8805.) The file you create with this menu option can be used as a source for programming the
Configuration Memory of a CoreModule/PC at a later time, using the @ switch.
An example display of a file's contents is shown below:
EEPROM 00: 24 00 35 00 08 00 07 05 - 12 89 26 02 50 80 00 00
EEPROM 10: 12 00 00 00 41 80 02 80 - 01 00 00 00 00 00 00 00
EEPROM 20: 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 - 00 00 00 00 00 00 01 56
EEPROM 30: 80 01 19 80 00 00 00 00 - 00 00 00 00 39 00 38 E8
EEPROM 40: EB 33 10 19 19 1A A8 BF - F4 FF FF FF FF FF 3E 00
EEPROM 50: 81 E1 FF FA FF FF FF FF - FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF
EEPROM 60: FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF - FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF
EEPROM 70: FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF - FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF
For detailed information regarding the file's content and format, refer to Ampro application note
AAN-8805.
As an example, the following command initializes the EEPROM values with a previously saved
configuration:
C>SETUP @SYSTEM.A <Enter>
Assuming the file "SYSTEM.A" was previously created using the SETUP's "write" option, SETUP
will initialize the contents of the EEPROM Configuration Memory using the contents of
SYSTEM.A.
