SBCSCSI/D1 E-13

NCR Firmware Development Tools Menu

This submenu provides access to a number of functions which are useful when

working with the SIOP Firmware. From this menu, a user may build and issue

commands to the SIOP Firmware. Once a command has been executed, other

menu selections permit the user to inspect the results returned by the SIOP

Firmware.

Note

Certain commands require data space, in the form of a

buffer and/or configuration control structure. If needed,

each command queries the user to determine which buffer

or control structure is to be used. This permits a sequence

of commands to be executed repeatedly without the need to

reconfigure before each.

Commands which query for specific data values list acceptable values in

square brackets and existing values in ellipses. Existing values may be

selected by responding with a carriage return. If an unacceptable response is

detected, the prompt is reissued. If a '.' is entered at a parameter prompt, any

new information is retained and all other data left intact. An 'x' at a parameter

prompt results in termination of t167.
