Display a small spinner (indicator)
while the download is in progress. This is just for feedback, especially
during long loads. Note that the option has no effect when using a
serial download method since it would interfere with the protocol.
quiet
-d
Boolean
Decompress data stream (gzip data)
non-compressed data
-r
Boolean
Raw (or binary) data. -b or -f must be used
formatted (S-records, ELF image, etc)
-m tftp
Transfer data via the network using TFTP protocol.
TFTP
-m http
Transfer data via the network using HTTP protocol.

TFTP
-h server_IP_address
Numeric IP or DNS name
The IP address of the TFTP or HTTP server.
Value set by ip_address
-b location
Number
Address in memory to load the data. Formatted data streams will have
an implied load address which this option may override.

-f location
Number
Address in flash to load the data. Formatted data streams will have
an implied load address which this option may override.
Depends on data format
-c channel
Number
Specify which I/O channel to
use for download. This option is only supported when using either
xmodem or ymodem protocol.
Depends on data format
file_name
String
The name of the file on the TFTP or HTTP
server or the local disk. Details of how this is specified for TFTP are
host-specific. For local disk files, the name must be in disk:
filename format. The disk portion must match one of the disk

None
Description
The load command is used to download
data into the target system. Data can be loaded via a network connection,
using either the TFTP or HTTP protocols, or the console serial connection using the
X/Y modem protocol. Files may also be loaded directly from local filesystems
on disk. Files to be downloaded may either be executable images in
ELF executable program format,
Motorola S-record (SREC)
format or raw data.
Examples
Download a Motorola S-record (or ELF) image, using TFTP, specifying the
base memory address.
