Re: Netboot problem

I had the tbin2tbin2 program at one time on my computer and then lost it 
after I wrote my own tbin converter.  If I remember correctly, the 
tbin2tbin2 program was only designed to handle files consisting of a single 
tbin block, like Slush.  The tiniOS has 7 tbin blocks.

Try this same process with Slush and see if you get the same error.  You 
will need to load the TiniOS separately using javakit first to actually 
boot and run slush.

The trick to getting multiple tbin blocks to load correctly is putting them 
in descending order in your file and changing the crc of all full blocks to 
be a crc made by calculating the crc of the next higher block, including 
the empty flash bytes.

The guy at Dallas that helped me out with this problem was Robert Muchsel 
<robert.muchsel-6tN4nzCoH/hBDgjK7y7TUQ@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>.  He will be able to provide you with 
additional code to help with netbooting the tiniOS.

Systronix is now able to load multiple blocks of code and arbitrary data 
into flash using netboot.  We are currently in the process of developing 
this code into additional netboot support for Tstik http:\\www.tstik.com

Thank You,
