RedBoot comes up with a default menu that allows selecting between booting the Clavister OS (this is done automatically after a timeout) or enter the RedBoot command line.
105 1 Gordon Shumway
106 26 Gordon Shumway
Although RedBoot is able to write configuration to flash memory, it ignores (at least some of the) settings contained there (console_baud_rate). The flash config doesn't contain the NPE MAC addresses either. *Make note of your MAC addresses from the original OS*. They may also be printed on stickers on the Ethernet jacks. The bottom sticker also has the MAC address of the WAN port -- add 0x01 for the DMZ MAC, another 0x01 for the LAN MAC.

h3. Automatic booting
109 1 Gordon Shumway
110 1 Gordon Shumway
Booting the Clavister OS is done by the following command sequence:
111 1 Gordon Shumway
112 1 Gordon Shumway
<pre>
113 1 Gordon Shumway
load -m disk -b 0x100000 hda1:FWLOADER.CFX
114 1 Gordon Shumway
go -c 0x101028
115 1 Gordon Shumway
</pre>
116 1 Gordon Shumway
117 1 Gordon Shumway
This will load FWLOADER.CFX from the first CF partition, which must be either FAT (16?) or ext2fs. Any file named FWLOADER.CFX can be loaded as long as it satisfies the following (known) constraints:
118 1 Gordon Shumway
119 11 Gordon Shumway
* Begins with a 4136-byte long DOS/PE stub (it _must_ be a proper DOS/PE stub, at least to some as-of-yet-unknown extent)
120 1 Gordon Shumway
* The payload after the stub _must_ be a tagged image (ie. ELF)
121 1 Gordon Shumway
122 1 Gordon Shumway
h2. Miscellaneous notes
123 1 Gordon Shumway
124 23 Gordon Shumway
If GPIO5 is grounded when power is applied, the board enters some sort of a simple self-test routine.
125 17 Gordon Shumway
126 17 Gordon Shumway
RTCK (pin 11) on JB1 (JTAG) is pulled to ground.
127 27 Gordon Shumway
128 34 Gordon Shumway
There are abundant supplies of ground pins on GPIOA1 and JC1; no need to wrestle with (de-)soldering JB1 if you have troubles with that.

130 33 Gordon Shumway
h2. Board revisions
131 33 Gordon Shumway
132 33 Gordon Shumway
Two known, EM-436A V1.1 and EM-436A V2.0. The only observable difference between the two are slightly different component use (flash, SDRAMs) and minor differences in the PCB silk.
