Using DDL.EXE to Automatically Redirect Files
The version of DDL.EXE included in the Omni 37xx SDK allows you to change the
default drive and file group for a direct download by preceding the filename(s) on
the DDL command line with a special filename. The syntax is as follows:
SETDRIVE.<drive letter>
where, drive letter is I: (RAM, default) or F: (flash), and/or
SETGROUP.<group number>
where, group number is 1–15.
For example, the following command-line entry:
DDL SETDRIVE.F cardco.lib SETDRIVE.I SETGROUP.15 card.dat
downloads the executable file cardco.lib into the flash of the selected target
group and the data file card.dat into Group 15 RAM. (Because drive or group
settings apply to all files that follow in the list, it is necessary to use SETDRIVE.x
to reset the drive from F: back to I:.)
If you are using this DDL.EXE method, zero-length SETDRIVE.x and
SETGROUP.n files do not need to exist as files on the download computer.
File Redirection in Operating System Downloads
When performing an operating system download, you
must
download the OS files
into Group 1 RAM and not into flash memory or into another file group.
OS files download into Group 1 RAM because is not possible to download these
files directly into Group 0. OS files are redirected to Group 0 depending on if you
perform a full or partial download (see Table 19):
• For full OS downloads, the redirection of OS files into Group 0 is performed
automatically, after the terminal restart, as part of the download procedure.
• For partial OS downloads, OS files are redirected from the RAM of Group 1
into Group 0 on manual terminal restart by selecting the appropriate system
mode menu option.
NOTE
You can only use zero-length SETGROUP.x files for
batch application downloads
,
either direct or telephone, and only using the Download Manager or VeriCentre
download tools (not DDL.EXE). You cannot use this special file convention for
operating system downloads or back-to-back application downloads.
