saves command
=============
Synopsis
--------
::
saves [offset [size [baud]]]
Description
-----------
The *saves* command is used to transfer a file from the device via the serial
line using the Motorola S-record file format.
offset
start address of memory area to save, defaults to 0x0
size
size of memory area to save, defaults to 0x0
baud
baud rate to use for upload. This parameter is only available if
CONFIG_SYS_LOADS_BAUD_CHANGE=y
Example
-------
In the example the *screen* command is used to connect to the U-Boot serial
console.
In a first screen session a file is loaded from the SD-card and the *saves*
command is invoked. <CTRL+A><k> is used to kill the screen session.
A new screen session is started which logs the output to a file and the
<ENTER> key is hit to start the file output. <CTRL+A><k> is issued to kill the
screen session.
The log file is converted to a binary file using the *srec_cat* command.
A negative offset of -1337982976 (= -0x4c000000) is applied to compensate for
the offset used in the *saves* command.
