Serial Loading Host Usage

I downloaded the DM646x_FlashandBootUtils_1_50 and I am trying to boot the 6467 EVM serially.  I need a little more detail on how to use slh_DM646x.exe to boot.  I assume I need to load the UBL, bootloader, and a Linux image.

In a command window I enter "slh_DM646x -load2DDR UBL_DM646x_NAND.bin" and turn on the EVM.  The CRC table, UBL, and Image data are successfully transmited and the target continues to send BOOTME.  Is it supposed to send BOOTME?  Then I try to load the bootloader, "slh_DM646x -load2DDR -startADDR 0x80200000 u-boot-1.2.0-dm6467.bin".  The items appear to be sent properly, but slh does not exit.

Am I doing this all wrong?  I would appreciate some more detailed instructions.  I could not find detailed instructions on the forum or wiki.

Thanks

    I have already looked at that wiki.  I am looking for detailed step by step instructions, because I don't know what I'm doing.

    When it sends BOOTME, can you try to hit CTRL-C to exit out of the utility and re-run the initial command "slh_DM646x -load2DDR UBL_DM646x_NAND.bin"? I work on the DM365 and there is a similar bug on that platform that requires the user to run the same command twice *without* powering off the board between runs. On the second run the utility would exit normally. I am suspecting that you are hitting the same issue. Maybe others on this forum can help confirm.

    Now I seem to be getting somewhere.  When I do "slh_DM646x -load2DDR u-boot-1.2.0-dm6467.bin" (without first loading a UBL) I get the output shown below.  Now I think it is waiting for a kernel (uImage).  How do I get it to finish booting?

    CRC table sent...

    UBL sent...

    Image data sent...

    I have it working now.  Someone took my network cable so the image wasn't being TFTPed to the target.  Also, after the boot is complete, I exited the slh app and then opened a serial terminal and entered "root" for the login.
