MANGALOAD(8) MANGALOAD(8)
NAME
mangaload - send new kernel to MANGA bootstrap
SYNOPSIS
auxi/mangaload [ -48dr ] host image
DESCRIPTION
Mangaload uses an ICMP protocol unique to the Peplink MANGA™
firewall to send a new kernel image to the MANGA bootstrap
monitor to burn into flash, replacing the existing kernel
image. To start the loading process, connect to the
device's console on its serial port (38400 baud, 8 bits, no
parity, 1 stop bit, no flow control), power the device off
then on again, and when the MANGA prompt appears, quickly
type the letter f. Then run mangaload to load the kernel;
the device should give status updates as the kernel loads,
and as it burns the image into flash. When it has finished,
power the device off and on again to start the new kernel.
By default, mangaload assumes a 4 Mbyte flash on the device;
the -8 option sets it to 8 Mbytes. The -r option causes the
image to be loaded into another, larger flash region, used
by Linux for its initial root, which can be used by Inferno
for general storage. The -d option prints a trace of the
protocol, for debugging.
