AO-RAWLOAD(1)

✨ NAME ✨

okay so bestie, this is ao-rawload 💖 it's from the General Commands Manual and it's literally the tool that flashes a program onto an AltOS device 🔥 the whole vibe is "flash this, no cap."

📜 SYNOPSIS 📜

ao-rawload [-T tty-device] [--tty tty-device] [-D altos-device]
[--device altos-device] file.ihx

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

ngl this one is so simple it's iconic 💅 ao-rawload takes the .ihx file you give it and loads it without modification 🫶 it goes into the target device's flash or ram, and which one depends on the base address of the .ihx file.

💜 OPTIONS 💜

• -T tty-device, --tty tty-device — this picks which tty device the debugger uses to talk to the target device 🎀 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 looking for a connected device 🔍 the argument has to be one of these forms:

TeleMetrum:2
TeleMetrum
2

bestie, if you leave out the product name, the tool picks a suitable product for you ✨ and if you leave out the serial number, it'll match one of the available devices 🧚

• -r, --run — once the file is loaded, the PC gets set to the base address of the image and execution resumes right there 🌈 > ngl there's a stray the .ihx file. fragment dangling at the end of this one in the original page 🙈 I've kept it exactly as it is so nothing gets lost.

🌸 USAGE 🌸

ao-rawload reads the .ihx file you specified into memory 💾 then it connects to the target device and writes the program into the target device's memory 🔥 and if you ask for it, it'll start the program running too ⭐
