Ready to Download

The status bar in the main window displays whether it is possible to download a file at the moment, and if not what must be done to perform a download.

If the message displayed is Need to set serial port, a serial port must be defined for the download. See Configuring Gdl for information on selecting a serial port. Note: in most cases, if no serial port has been selected, the rest of the gdl configuration also has yet to be performed. Make sure gdl's configuration accurately reflects the HC11 board being used.

If the message displayed is Need to select file, a file must be selected for download. The file selection dialog will only display files which are readable by the user, and are of the form *.s19.

If gdl is ready to download a file, the message displayed will be Ready and the Download button will be sensitive.
