1Low-LevelTMSystem Configuration Module (cnfgdata) MICROWAREOverviewThe cnfgdata module contains configuration data used by thelow-level system modules. The following subsystems are configured inthe cnfgdata module:• Low-level system console• Low-level auxiliary communication• Debugger• Low-level protocol manager and interface data• Booters and boot services• Notification servicesThe next section in this chapter provides a detailed example of theconfiguration options you can use to change configuration values forthis module.The rest of this chapter provides a detailed list of all availablecnfgdata module fields, including a field description and availablevalues.8 OS-9 Device Descriptor and Configuration Module Reference

Low-Level System Configuration Module (cnfgdata)cnfgdata Module Field Configuration Options1There are two methods you can use to change a cnfgdata moduleconfiguration field:1. Use the EditMod utility to directly modify existing cnfgdatamodules either as a stand-alone module or as part of a mergedmodule group (such as a boot image).2. Modify the description file for the cnfgdata module and rebuild itusing the makefile provided.Direct Modification AdvantagesThe direct modification method has the following advantages:FastNo source configuration file rebuilds arenecessary.TemporaryThe original module or merged-module groupconfiguration can be easily restored via theappropriate rebuild.ContainedChanges are limited to the individual bootimage modified (merged-module option).Description File/Rebuild AdvantagesThe advantage of the description file/rebuild method is the changes arepermanent and reproducible. Modifications apply to all subsequentmodule rebuilds and to all merged-module groups built containing theupdated module.Both methods are documented in this section. These procedures areused with the field descriptions starting with the Module HeaderFields. For direct modification, use the EditMod LABELS data toOS-9 Device Descriptor and Configuration Module Reference 9
