About This Document
Overview
Introduction
The 68K Monitor is a feature of all GE Energy Services products that use a variant
of the Motorola 68000 series of microprocessor.
Since the introduction of the first D20 products, the commands that are available in
the 68K Monitor have changed, been added to, and enhanced to address the
requirements of the newer products and their software components.
This guide summarizes all of the commands that you will find in any of GE Energy
Services’ products to-date. You will see in the next chapters that not all commands
are available in all products. Some commands exist only for product and software
development, and are not found in end-user products.

Chapter 1: Connecting and Using the 68K
Monitor
Overview
Connect Defined
An application interface provides an input to and output from the 68K Monitor.
This allows the 68K Monitor to ‘connect’ to any application or subsystem, and to
any type of hardware (capable of stream or block transfers).
As examples:
•
•
WESMAINT or the Login Process can connect the 68K Monitor to a serial port.
WESMAINT and the TELNET application can connect it to the TELNET
session.
The 68K Monitor can also be ‘connected’ to a file system to receive (read)
commands from a file and send (write) responses to another file.

Connecting to the 68K Monitor
One 68K
Monitor At-A-
Time
While any application running in the system can activate the 68K Monitor, only one
instance of the monitor can be active at any one time.
If a second application attempts to start the 68K Monitor, it will refuse the second
application’s request.
68K Monitor
Prompts
The prompt produced by the 68K Monitor depends on the hardware platform and
the mode the device is in.
As examples:
Examples
The table below shows examples of the prompts that you may see on various devices
in different modes of operation.
When this
device…
is operating out of…
you will see this

Terminating a
68K Monitor
TELNET Session
The 68K Monitor will detect a loss of connection in a TELNET session and will end
the monitor session, allowing a new connection to be established.
The 68K Monitor itself never terminates or initiates a TELNET session. Whatever
process starts the 68K Monitor handles this functionality.
Auto-Logout
Timer
Since only one 68K Monitor session is allowed at a time, it automatically terminates
a session if no input is received for 5 minutes (default) or after a user-programmed
interval.
Refer to: Page 3-4, AL - Change Auto-logout Timer for details about how this timer
can be changed.

User's Guide

68K Monitor Display
Output from the
68K Monitor
The 68K Monitor’s output is a stream of ASCII characters written back to the
‘connected’ application / subsystem. The command executed determines the exact
contents of the output.
When encountering a system exception error, or a defined breakpoint, exception and
breakpoint handling routines will generate additional output.
Display Output
While most output to the monitor port is a direct result of command input, some
occurs asynchronously of the command input.
This requires the use of two methods of output display.
•
The first method uses the monitor-input process, which formats the output into
a common buffer and signals the output process that data is available.
−
All output that occurs synchronously with the input uses this method,
including command data and input line display.
•
The second method uses exception-handling routines to display data that may
or may not occur as the result of a monitor command, but cannot be expected to
occur synchronously with the input.
−
A pSOS exchange sends this data (including unassigned exception and
breakpoint data displays) to the output process.
An Example:
Once a breakpoint is set, the monitor cannot control when or if the system encounters
the breakpoint.
The exception and breakpoint display output may occur at any time, and this output
has priority over monitor input process output. This may cause occasional
interruption of a command or input in progress, or the lack of a prompt re-appearing
after displaying the data, but does not affect these functions in any way

Breakpoint Commands
Description
Use these commands with the 68K Monitor for control and display of process
breakpoints in the system.
The three restrictions with the definition of breakpoints are:
•
You must define breakpoints in code that is in RAM.
The program instruction changes to a 68000 family TRAP instruction.
−
•
•
You must define all program breakpoints at the beginning of an instruction.
Only define breakpoints in a process.
−
If the interrupt mask is non-zero when you enter the breakpoint handler, the
assumption is that the calling routine is an interrupt service procedure (ISP)
and breakpoints are not valid.
Note:
Diagnostic Commands are suspended in order to use breakpoints.

Use this command to change the data rate of the WESMAINT port to a user-

Syntax
Below is usage and syntax information for this command
Command Format
Variables
baud baud_rate
None
Parameters
Example
baud_rate = the new data rate for the port, in bps.
Type baud 4800 and press ENTER.
Results: The monitor switches to communicate at 4800 bps.
See warning below.
Special
Considerations
About Changing
the Baud Rate
The 68K Monitor has the ability to change the communication speed of the D25 and
D20 ME WESMAINT ports. This is useful when downloading large files.
Example: A 1 M code file may take upwards of 40 minutes to download at 9600 bps
(the default). At 38400 bps, only 10 – 15 minutes.
Note:
Most PCs cannot exceed 115,200 bps, and some terminal programs
(Windows Terminal for example) may have other restrictions. Check the
respective program's User's Guide for help.
The system will not save speed changes made using this command in NVRAM.
The monitor will return to 9600 bps after a restart.
!
If you execute this command in a D25 monitor, it will modify the data rate of both
the WESMAINT and the D25MAINT ports, since they run off the same data rate
generator.
WARNING 1
GE Energy Services recommends that you use this command only to speed up a
serial download, and not to redefine the operational state.
Enter the baud rate correctly, as the function is capable of setting the data rate
to any value.
!
Example:
WARNING 2
Forgetting to enter the final zero when trying to change the data rate
to 19200 bps would result in a rate of 1920 bps, preventing any
further communication. A reboot will return the speed to the 9600
bps default.

the character representing the attribute (‘c’, ‘o’, or ‘r’) followed
by ‘+’ to add it or ‘-‘ to remove it.
The same command can change any of the attributes. You can
enter the same attribute multiple times, but only the last entry
will take effect. You can separate each attribute by a space, but
do no separate the attribute and its add/subtract character, and
any other characters on the command line will result in an
error.

Description
Use this command to create the configuration storage block at a specified location or
allocate it out of RAM.
The amount of memory space allocated to configuration storage and other relevant
parameters are also required.
•
The Monitor invalidates any existing storage block before creating the new one.
−
If requested to make the block in NVRAM, the command assumes it to be a
part of a static configuration storage region and will simply use the memory
as specified (base address and size).
−
By specifying RAM, the monitor expects the block to be temporary, and
allocates memory out of normal pSOS RAM.
Syntax
Below is usage and syntax information for this command
Any existing stored configurations will be lost when this command is invoked!!!

CCB - Create Configuration Storage Block, Continued
Parameters (continued)
Example
Type ccb 600000 100000 400 2 and press ENTER.
Results: The monitor creates a configuration storage control
block at address 0x600000, taking the next 0x100000
bytes as the space for the configuration storage
system.
After allocating the size of the storage control
structures and the 0x400 bytes for the response file,
the command divides the remaining space into two
equal slices to store configurations.
Special
Considerations
Use this command primarily when the system first initializes,
in order to set up the configuration storage space. After that, it
expects to be only rarely invoked.

Description
Use this command to copy file information from one file to another.
Primarily, use the command to transfer files containing configuration, application
FLASH and DSP FLASH program data into their destination regions.
Also, use it to copy any one file to another, depending on the support for copying
provided by the File System Driver that owns the files.
Syntax
Below is usage and syntax information for this command
Command Format
Variables
cf source_file [destination_file]
None
Parameters
source_file = The name of the file containing the source
data. This is always required, and is the full
path name of the file. If the operation is
transferring configuration or FLASH program
information (DSP or application), then only
the source name is required.
destination_file
= The name of the file into which the source file
data is to be copied. If you intend to copy
configuration or FLASH program
information (DSP or application) into its
destination region, this name is optional and
unnecessary
Example
Type cf flash.zlb and press ENTER.
Results: The monitor copies the file flash.zlb into Flash
EPROM.
Special
Considerations
Once invoking this function, it may take some time for the
command to write the file into its destination; especially if it
consists of compressed configuration or FLASH program
information (DSP or application).

Description
Use this command to activate a breakpoint in a section of code located within RAM.
At the specified address, the command saves 68000 family instruction in the
breakpoint table and replaces it with a TRAP instruction. When a process reaches the
TRAP instruction, it traps into a breakpoint handling routine, which displays a
message indicating that it encountered a breakpoint.
The 68K Monitor allows up to ten active breakpoints.
Syntax
Below is usage and syntax information for this command
Command Format
Variables
db address [#loops]
None
Parameters
address = hexadecimal address for the breakpoint.
#loops
=
number of times to execute the specified address
(in decimal) before stopping; default is zero
Example
Type db 103648 and press ENTER.
This defines a breakpoint at hexadecimal address 103648,
which stops before the first execution of the instruction at that
address.
Results: The system responds with the breakpoint number
assigned to this breakpoint and the prompt. Each time
it encounters the breakpoint, the system displays the
breakpoint number, loop count, and register values. If
the loop count is greater than zero, it is decremented.
Otherwise, the process is suspended.
Special
Considerations
You may define only one breakpoint at a single address, to a
maximum of ten breakpoints per system. An attempt to define
a breakpoint in read only or non-existent memory results in a
bus error.

Description
Use this command to put the D25 into Debug Mode.
This mode disables certain checks in the system so that it will ignore small system
violations during debugging sessions (such as allowing the writing of FLASH code
to RAM during a download).
In this mode, you can make making changes to the base address and size of the
SRAM, NVRAM and FLASH regions in the NVRAM configuration header.
Syntax
Below is usage and syntax information for this command
Command Format
Variables
DEBUG
None
Parameters
Example
None
Type DEBUG and press ENTER.
Results: The output displays the current debug state. The user
receives the following prompt:
Do you wish to update the NVRAM header? (y/n)
Any reply other than ‘y’ aborts the rest of the
command. Otherwise, the command prompts you to
enter new values for the FLASH, SRAM, and
NVRAM base address and size. Entering a zero
indicates that the item is to remain unchanged.
Once the new data has been entered, you are
prompted:
Is this data accurate? (Y/N)
Any response other than ‘y’ will cause the monitor to
re-issue the prompts for the FLASH, SRAM, and
NVRAM base address and size.
Pressing CNTRL-C will abort the command.
If the user responds ‘y’, the command writes new
data to the NVRAM header and a new NVRAM
header CRC is calculated and stored.
Special
Considerations
The debug command is a toggle, turning the debug mode ON if
it is OFF, and OFF if it is ON.
Enabling the Debug Mode degrades the performance of the
system and may cause certain CPU intensive commands to
activate the watchdog and reset the system.

Description
Use this command to download data (typically configuration files (all platforms) or
D25 and CCUME application (FLASH) code).
Note:
When downloading application code files, this command must be used only
when executing from the BootROM. This will be indicated by the D25A>,
or the D20MEA> prompts for the D25 or D20ME-based systems,
respectively.
The Monitor accepts S1, S2 and S3 data records, and S7, S8 and S9 end records, and
optional S0 comment records in the downloaded file. The monitor rejects all other
types of records.
Once the command verifies the checksum within the record, the contents of data
records (S1, S2 or S3) are stored in memory. When it receives an S7, S8 or S9 end
record, the DOWNLOAD command returns control to the Monitor’s command line.
Syntax

Variables
Parameters
Example
offset
/o
=
=
the offset at which to download
specifies that an offset follows
Type dl and press ENTER.
Results: This prepares the monitor to receive Motorola S-
records over the serial port. The monitor does not
echo any further until it encounters an end record
(the prompt returns at this point) or a format or
record checksum error (this returns an error
message before returning the prompt).
Special
Considerations
Each S-record, terminated by a carriage return or line feed,
cannot exceed 80 decimal bytes in length.
Application code download works ONLY when:
•
•
The BootROM code is being executed AND
The FLASH region has been erased.
Executing this command modifies the memory of the system, and can cause
operational disruption.

message to a specific exchange.
case-sensitive exchange name. The command
supports the new exchange naming convention. If
you enter an entire name, the monitor sends the
message to that exchange. If you enter the first
few characters, the command attempts pattern
matching. It sends the message to one or more
exchanges depending on the number of matches.
m2 - m5 = first through fourth long words in the body of the
message, in hexadecimal.
Example
Type jx 304540 1 2 3 4 and press ENTER.
This sends a message to an exchange identified as 304540. The
command sets the first two reserved messages to 0.
Results: Unless it encounters an error, the system displays the
prompt. In the case of an error, it displays an error
message before the prompt.
Special
Considerations
You must only use this command in a testing or debugging
context. If you send an indiscriminate message to an exchange,
you cannot predict the results.

Description
Use this command to display breakpoint information about any or all-active
breakpoints in the system.
While the system suspends a process at a breakpoint, this instruction causes the
display of the suspended process ID and the register values when it encounters the
breakpoint. These values differ from those printed with the query process command,
as the latter prints the values at the time of the last process swap.
Syntax
Below is usage and syntax information for this command
Command Format
Variables
pb [break_pt#]
None
Parameters
break_pt#
= breakpoint number as returned with the
defined breakpoint command.
Example
Type pb and press ENTER.
Results: If the system encounters a breakpoint, it responds
with a list of all active breakpoints in the system and,
the process ID, loop count, and register values, in
hexadecimal.
It then displays the prompt without affecting the state
of any breakpoint.

Use this command to retrieve a message from one or more exchanges.
It returns the first message in each target message queue.
Syntax
Below is usage and syntax information for this command
Command Format
Variables
rx (xid | name)
None
Parameters
xid
=
pSOS exchange ID (in hexadecimal); make an
attempt to retrieve a message from a single
exchange.
name
=
case-sensitive exchange name. The monitor
supports the new exchange naming convention.
If you enter an entire name, the monitor retrieves
the message from that exchange.
If you enter the first few characters, the
command attempts pattern matching. The
monitor retrieves messages from one or more
exchanges, depending on the number of matches.
Example
Type rx 304540 and press ENTER.
This requests a message from the exchange with an ID of
304540.
Results: The message is displayed as six long, hexadecimal
words as:
A999 : 00000001 00000002 00000003 00000004
The system displays the specified message, then
returns to the prompt unless it encounters an error. If
this is the case, it displays an error message before it
returns to the prompt.
Special
Considerations
You must only use this command in a testing or debugging
context. If you take a message from an exchange
indiscriminately, you cannot predict the results.

Description
Use this command to download configuration and application data over the serial
port into RAM or FLASH. The 68K Monitor accepts a transfer of ZMODEM
binary data to the D25 initiated either by the D25 user or by the sending terminal.
When the transfer is complete, the DOWNLOAD command returns control to 68K
Monitor’s command line.
Application code download only works when:
•
•
executing from the BootROM, and
the monitor has erased the FLASH region.
While the command downloads the file, it recognizes the ZLIB format of the
compressed data and uncompresses it.
Syntax
Below is usage and syntax information for this command
Command Format
Variables
rz [/(Vlevel | Mtimeout | Ctimeout | Wwindow)]
/Vlevel
verbose level, which determines the level of
debug messages displayed (default is zero, any
non-zero value will activate debug messages).
/Mtimeout set receive message timeout to the user specified
value (the default is 2000 ms).
/Ctimeout
set inter-character timeout to user specified value
(default is 500 ms).
/Wwindow set receiver window size to user specified value
(default is 1400 bytes).
Special
Considerations
Before the start of the download, the system must suspend all
non-protected process running in the system.
•
•
If there are parameters on the command line, the monitor
assumes that the D25 initiated the download, and allows 20
seconds for the user to activate the software that will send
data to the D25.
If there are no parameters, the monitor assumes that the
sending software initiated the download and it will not
provide a wait period.
The command “rz” is the standard prefix used by the
ZMODEM binary protocol to start a file transfer. A terminal
using this command can connect to the D25 Monitor and
simply start sending ZMODEM data without any further user
input to the D25.

Executing this command modifies the memory of the D25, and can cause operational
disruption.
!
WARNING
Use caution before proceeding. Be sure that you really want to use this command
and that you use it correctly.
When using ZMODEM, all files sent to the 68K Monitor must have file names.
Note
K
The file name for a FLASH image must start with “PROM”. The file name for a
ZLIB compressed image must end with the extension “.ZLB”.
The name in these cases is case insensitive (i.e. “prom” and “.zlb” are acceptable as
well). The monitor assumes that any other names are non-compressed NVRAM
configuration data.
Since there is no addressing inherent in ZMODEM data, you must change the
location of NVRAM in any existing configuration before downloading if you want to
change the NVRAM header address.

Description
Use this command to monitor communications on one of the defined serial ports
(other than the assigned 68K Monitor port).
It uses serial I/O system transmit and receive call-outs to intercept all
communications on the channel.
Syntax
Below is usage and syntax information for this command
Command Format
Variables
sa port
None
port
Parameters
Example
=
serial port to monitor (COM#)
Type sa com7 and press ENTER.
Results: This activates the serial analyzer monitor on
communications port seven (SIO7).
The monitor displays all communications on the
specified channel until it receives CNTRL-C on the
monitor channel. The display then returns to the
prompt.
Special
Considerations
This function cannot be used on the port assigned to 68K
Monitor (COM0), the SPI port (_SPI), or the SCC1 port
(SCC1).
This function is completely non-intrusive. It cannot affect the
operation of the application that owns the monitored port.
Error Codes
If any of the following receiver errors are detected, these codes are displayed:
−
−
−
−
over-run errors
parity errors
OV
PA
FR
framing errors
detected breaks
BR.
Display Format
The monitor displays all data transmitted and received in hexadecimal format.
Transmit data is displayed in inverse video; receive data is normal video mode.

Buffered Data
The serial analyzer does not display data immediately. It buffers the data so that the
serial analyzer remains non-intrusive. The buffer is large enough (1000 bytes) that
overflow is unlikely. If the buffer does overflow, however, the indication provided
is:
buffer overflow
The monitor discards incoming data as long as the buffer is in the overflow state. It
does not destroy the current buffer contents.

Description
Use this command to select one of the stored configurations as the active
configuration.
The system is halted and the stored configuration is uncompressed (if necessary) and
written into NVRAM (local on the D25, global on a D200) as the new configuration.
The selected configuration file is marked as the active configuration.
Note:
Upon completion, the Monitor leaves the system halted so that you can
restart the system with the new configuration.
Syntax
Below is usage and syntax information for this command
Command Format
Variables
sc (file_num | file_name) [BaseAddress]
None
Parameters
file_num
= The query configuration storage parameters
command displays all existing files, giving
each a numerical index. The monitor uses this
index with the command to specify the file
that it will copy into memory and make
active.
file_name
= The name of the configuration file to select.
The command will select the first matching
configuration it finds.
BaseAddress = base address at which to write the new
configuration
Example
Type sc config.bin and press ENTER.
Results: The monitor selects the stored configuration
"config.bin" as the active configuration and copies it
into NVRAM, overwriting the existing configuration.
Special
Considerations
Once this function is invoked, it may take some time for the
configuration to be decompressed (if necessary), and written
into memory.

Considerations
Currently, the BootROM code must have the TRACE
command compiled into S043-0 before you can use this
command. You will have to remove some other commands in
order to make room for it.

=
pSOS process ID (in hexadecimal); send the
signal to a specific process.
gpid
name
global pSOS process ID (in hexadecimal); send
the signal to a specific process.
case-sensitive process name. The command
supports the new naming convention.
If you enter an entire name, the command sends
the signal to a specific process.
If you enter the first few characters, the
command attempts pattern matching. It then
sends the signal to all matching processes.
event
=
hexadecimal format word of the bits with which
to signal the process(es).
Example
Type vp 308048 1000 and press ENTER.
This signals the process with pSOS ID 308048 with the 13th
bit (i.e., bit 12) zero-based.
Results: Unless it encounters an error, the system displays the
prompt. If it encounters an error, it displays an error
message before it returns to the prompt.
Special
Considerations
You must only use this command as a testing or debugging
mechanism. If you send an indiscriminate signal to a process,
you cannot predict the results.
Note:
The safe way to restore a system to normal operation
after using this command is to reboot.
