Table 14–5. Parameters (Note 1) (Part 2 of 2)
Parameter
action
Status
Description
Mandatory A pointer to a string (text that directs the Player). Example actions are PROGRAM or
VERIFY. In most cases, this parameter will be set to the string PROGRAM. The Player
is not case-sensitive, so the text can be either uppercase or lowercase. The Player
supports all actions defined in the Jam Standard Test and Programming Language
Specification. See Table 14–6. Note that the string must be null terminated.
init_list
error_line
exit_code
Optional
An array of pointers to strings. This parameter is used when applying Jam version 1.1
files. (2)
—
A pointer to a long integer. If an error is encountered during execution, the Player will
record the line of the JBC file where the error occurred.
—
A pointer to a long integer. Returns a code if there is an error that applies to the
syntax or structure of the JBC file. If this kind of error is encountered, the supporting
vendor should be contacted with a detailed description of the circumstances in which
the exit code was encountered.
Notes to Table 14–5:
(1) Mandatory parameters must be passed for the Player to run.
(2) For more information, refer to AN 122: Using Jam STAPL for ISP & ICR via an Embedded Processor.
