+<h1><a name="description">DESCRIPTION</a></h1>
+<p>This boot loader facilitates loading of files over the network or a
+serial port to an ETRAX100. It can also be used for fairly extensive
+hardware debugging as you can read and write to any memory addresses,
+including the ETRAX100 registers. You can also perform memory checks
+and dumps and copy data to flash memories.</p>
+<p>The first packet (or the first 784 bytes in the case of serial boot)
+sent to Etrax100 is loaded into the cache. The code in this packet is
+executed and loads the rest of the boot loader into the cache. The
+cache is the only thing we can be sure of exists on all ETRAX100
+products, so the boot loader is limited to the size of the cache,
+8KB. If further boot loading code is needed you have to set up
+external memory and load another boot loader into it, but this is
+rarely needed.</p>
+<p>Two programs are involved in this boot loading, one is the program on
+your workstation that sends the packets to ETRAX100, this is called
+the server boot loader or SBL. The other program is the one in
+ETRAX100 that receives packets from the SBL and acts upon the data
+therein, this is called the client boot loader or CBL.</p>
+<p>We don't want to edit and recompile the CBL each time we want to load
+level two to different parts of memory, like we do on different
+products. We also want to change things like the setup of external
+memory before we load data into it. To make the boot loading as
+flexible as possible and separate the CBL from level two we send a
+configuration packet to it. After this packet we load other files, if
+we want to.</p>
+<p>The configuration packet can contain information to the CBL which lets
+you: initialize external memory, read and write to all ETRAX100
+registers, read and write to any part of memory, load as many other
+files as you like to any part of memory you like, etc. The
+configuration packet is generated on the fly by the SBL.</p>
+<p>Since the CBL is unaware of which product it will be loaded on, it
+doesn't do product specific initialization like setting up the
+memory. This must be done with the configuration packet.</p>
+<p>
+</p>
+<h2><a name="debugging_printout">Debugging printout</a></h2>
+<p>When doing network boot the debugging printout from the CBL in ETRAX
+is transmitted back over the network and printed by e100boot. When
+doing serial boot that interface will be used. So in either case you
+will not need any other software or hardware to receive the debugging
+printout.</p>
+<p>
+</p>
+<h2><a name="creating_binaries">Creating binaries</a></h2>
+<p>The files containing code to be loaded on the ETRAX100 must be
+stripped using the standard GCC binutils.</p>
+<p>
+</p>
+<h2><a name="how_it_works__things_you_don_t_want_to_know_">How it works, things you don't want to know.</a></h2>
+<p>ack, timeout bla, bla... RTFS.</p>
+<p>
+</p>
+<h2><a name="compilation_and_code">Compilation and code</a></h2>
+<p>Noteworthy is that two separate ETRAX100 binaries are created, one for
+network boot and one for serial boot. They actually contain exactly
+the same code, but linked in different order. This is because the code
+to load the rest of the bootloader over a specific interface must be
+contained in the first data sent to the ETRAX100 and it is too
+difficult to cram the code for both interfaces in the beginning of the
+same binary. Hence two files.</p>
+<p>Other stuff you don't want to know is that the cache is mapped from
+0x380000f0 to 0x380020f0. Code starts at the first address followed by
+data up to the symbol <em>Ebss</em>. At the other end is the buffer for boot
+commands (addresses defined by <em>IO_BUF_START</em> and <em>IO_BUF_END</em> below
+which the stack lies and hopefully the stack and <em>Ebss</em> will never
+meet...</p>
+<p>The serial data is loaded from 0x380000f0 to 0x380003ff before
+execution starts.</p>
+<p>
+</p>
+<hr />
+<h1><a name="options">OPTIONS</a></h1>
+<p>The options are done in the order specified on the command line, so
+you probably want to do any memory setup before loading a file to the
+memory, and you probably do not want to perform a memory test after
+you have loaded a file to that memory.</p>
+<p>All addresses and sizes must be in hex with optional '0x' prefix, or a
+ETRAX100 register name. Since the <strong>--setreg</strong> and <strong>--getreg</strong> options
+only can be performed on dword aligned dwords only the registers that
+conform to this can be named.</p>
+<p>Note also that all addresses must be in uncached memory (bit 31 set),
+as the bootloader lies in the cache. If you access any uncached
+address during boot, the bootloader will be destroyed without warning.</p>
+<p>It is also possible to specify an address as <em>+address</em>, in which
+case it is considered to be relative to <em>IO_BUF_START</em>. This is
+especially useful in combination with the <strong>--loop</strong> option below.</p>

+<p>If you have a stripped binary (file.ima) linked to 0x08000000 that you want

+<p>Or something like this. Sets waitstates to zero and loads two files,
