RedBoot as Primary Bootmonitor
RedBoot is installed in flash using the on-board ARM Boot Monitor.
Boot the board while pressing SPACE. This should bring up the Boot Monitor:
ARM bootPROM [Version 1.3] Rebuilt on Jul 16 2001 at 16:21:36
Running on a P920 board Evaluation Board
Board Revision V1.0, ARM920T processor Processor
Memory Size is 32MBytes, Flash Size is 32MBytes

For help on the available commands type ? or h
boot Monitor >
Download the RAM mode image of RedBoot configured as a primary bootmonitor using the ARM bootmonitor’s
SREC-download command:
boot Monitor > m
Load Motorola S-Record image into memory and execute it
The S-Record loader only accepts input on the serial port.
Record addresses must be between 0x00008000 and 0x01E0F510.
Type Ctrl/C to exit loader.
Use the terminal emulator’s ASCII upload command, or (on Linux) simply cat the file to the serial port:
$ cat redboot_primary_RAM/redboot.srec >/dev/ttyS1
You should see RedBoot start up:

As can be seen from the output above, the network has been configured to give the board an IP address and
information about the default server. If things are not set up on your network, you can still continue, but use the
Y-modem download method when loading the RedBoot ROMRAM mode image. Now initialize RedBoot’s FIS:
RedBoot> fis init
