cpcxfer

Cmd line tool to transfer files to and from M4 board via WiFi.

Commands

Command Effect
xfer -u ipaddr file path opt Upload file, opt 0: no header add, 1: add ascii header, 2: add binary header (specify start and exec addr. in hex)
xfer -d ipaddr file path opt Download file, opt 0: leave header, 1: remove header
xfer -f ipaddr file slot name Upload rom
xfer -c ipaddr file Upload cartridge image (.CPR/.BIN)
xfer -x ipaddr path+file Execute file on CPC
xfer -y ipaddr local_file Upload file on CPC and execute it immediatly (the sd card must contain folder '/tmp')
xfer -p ipaddr Start (plus) cartridge
xfer -s ipaddr Reset CPC
xfer -r ipaddr Reboot M4

Usage:

Example : If your m4 has IP number 192.168.1.11, the following code will run zynaps from given directory.

xfer -x 192.168.1.11 /games/zynaps/zynapsex.bas

Want to leave it again you could reset the cpc by:

xfer -s 192.168.1.11

In a development environment the idea is you ie. do the following to your makefile :

xfer -u 192.168.1.11 mycode.bin / 0 (to upload the file after compilation, additional files could be uploaded too)

xfer -x 192.168.1.11 /mycode.bin (to execute it)

Remote files can be basic/binary or SNA (emulator snapshot format).

If you are deving roms, they can be remotely uploaded too :

xfer -f 192.168.1.11 yancc.rom 3 "YANCC" (upload to slot 3)

xfer -f 192.168.1.11 launcher.rom 4 "The Launcher" (upload to slot 4)

xfer -r 192.168.1.11 (Reboot M4 for changes to take effect)

Python version

A python client is also provided in pyxfer.py. It can be used as it is is or as a library for another application. It has globally the same arguments than the native version. Here are some differences:

  • It is able to create directories or remove files and directories.
  • The arguments for downloading a file are slightly different (full path instead of filename + path).
  • The managmeent of headers has still not be coded; will be done if requested

Here is the documentation of this version:
