AO-LOAD(1)

✨ NAME ✨

okay bestie, meet ao-load 💖 it's how you flash a program onto a AltOS device 🔥

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

ao-load [-T tty-device] [--tty tty-device] [-D altos-device] [--device
altos-device] [--cal radio-calibration] file.ihx device serial number

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

so ao-load takes your .ihx file and writes it straight into the target device's flash memory 🌸 while it's at it, it customizes the AltOS image with the serial number you hand it ✨ main character energy, literally.

🌈 OPTIONS 🌈

• -T tty-device, --tty tty-device — this picks which tty device the debugger chats through to reach the target 🧚 the special name BITBANG tells ao-dbg to use the cp2103 connection. otherwise it should be a usb serial port hooked up to a suitable cc1111 debug node.
• -D AltOS-device, --device AltOS-device — this goes hunting for a connected device 🔍 your argument has to be one of these vibes:
  • TeleMetrum:2
  • TeleMetrum
  • 2

leave out the product name and the tool picks a suitable product for you. leave out the serial number and it matches one of the available devices 💜

• -c radio-calibration, --cal radio-calibration — this bakes the radio calibration value into the image for hardware that has no eeprom storage for it 🫶 you can figure it out from the current radio calibration value, the measured frequency, and the desired frequency:

cal' = cal * (desired/measured)

the default calibration value is 1186611 🍓

🦋 USAGE 🦋

ao-load reads your .ihx file into memory and locates the matching .map file 🗺️ then it edits the image so it's customized with the serial number you gave. next, it connects to the target device and writes the program into its flash memory 🔥
