Prefs
   1This is a very simple COMBOOT program which can be used to dump memory
   2regions over a serial port.  To use it, type on the SYSLINUX command
   3line:
   4
   5memdump <port> <prefix> <start>,<len> <start>,<len>...
   6
   7For example:
   8
   9memdump 0 funnysystem- 0,0x600 0x9fc00,0x400 0xf0000,0x10000
  10
  11... dumps three memory ranges (the standard BIOS memory ranges, often
  12useful) onto serial port 0.  The <port> can either be in the range 0-3
  13for the standard BIOS serial port, or the I/O address of the UART.
  14
  15The data is transferred using the YMODEM protocol; the Unix
  16implementation of this protocol is called "rb" and is part of the
  17"lrzsz" (or "rzsz") package.  If one uses a terminal program like
  18Minicom, there is often a way to invoke it from inside the terminal
  19program; in Minicom, this is done with the Ctrl-A R control sequence.
