Instead of sending to the Serial Slave server from
Marcus Comstedt (which only accepts SREC
formatted files) you may use the DC-Tool toolset
which allows to send ELF files directly in LZ-compressed
format with a transferrate of 115200 Bit/s.
This uploading can only be done from within your development
environment (using Cygwin or copying cygwin1.dll
into your path)
Connect your Dreamcast to your PC via
the Coders Cable
Boot up DC-Load Server in your Dreamcast.
(the screen turns black and says "Idle..."
the Dreamcast is ready to accept incoming data)
Start up your Cygwin BASH Shell
Browse to the directory where your ELF file is
located
Use the following commandline to send the file to your
Dreamcast:
dc-tool -b 115200 -x yourfile.elf
(in case you don't use the standard COM2-port use the
-t COM1 switch)
The tool should now show you its progress of uploading
the file
(the Dreamcast also shows you the progress of the upload)
After upload is finished the program will be executed
HINT:
Add the following line to your .bashrc in your Cygwin
home-directory (you find it in /home/username):
alias dcsend="dc-tool -b 115200
-x"
Now you can simply use dcsend
<filename> to upload your ELF Files to your
Dreamcast.
