-F, -f Name of the application file to
sign (*.out, *.lib, or other file type).
Required for development
devices and for deployment
devices.
-S, -s Name of the signature file (*.p7s)
for the VeriShield File Signing
Tool to generate for the target
application file.
Required for development
devices and for deployment
devices.
-L, -l Specifies to store the target
application file to sign and
authenticate in the flash ROM
(drive F:) file system.
If you do not use this switch to
specify flash ROM as the target
file destination, it is stored by
default in the SRAM file system
(drive I:).
Optional entry.
This switch assigns an F: prefix to
the name of the *.out or *.lib file to
download, and also stores this
information in the signature file as
part of the special filetype
attribute.
Note: Signature files must be
downloaded onto the
target file group’s SRAM.
If the target file is authenticated,
the corresponding *.p7s file is
moved to the same memory area
as the target file it authenticates.
For example, if the target file is
stored in flash ROM (F:), its *.p7s
file is moved into the flash ROM
file system. If, however, you set
the *FA variable in the file group’s
CONFIG.SYS file to 0, all
signature files are deleted from
SRAM when file authentication is
complete. Removing *.p7s files
will prevent application files from
executing after a back-to-back
download.
