loads and copyright
hi,
I'm currently trying to test the "loads" command. For this I use a Kermit version. Since "loadb" uses the kermit protocol this works fine. But how do I download the file with the loads command? As I found out not in kermit mode. In the u-boot manual I found this as an example:
=> loads
## Ready for S-Record download ...
~>examples/hello_world.srec
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 ...
[file transfer complete]
[connected]
## Start Addr = 0x00040004
But what means "~>"?
An other more generic question concerns copyright of new source files. For the MPC5xx port I took for instance the start.S from the MPC8xx directory and made some changes.
But what is the best in your opinion, to place all the copyright from the previous owners also in the top of the new file or only my name.
Or shall I mention somewhere, from where this file is based? What is the common practise?
Sure it's not important but only to be correct.
Thanks,
Martin

I think the same document also mentions to use the "cu" command (from the UUCP package) for S-Record download, doesn't it?

It's the "file send" command in the "cu" command. See "man cu".

If you use existing code (i. e. more than 5 or 6 lines), the copyright of the previous authors still applies. Please keep these copyright messages.
