13<H2>Description</H2>
14<P>
15The <CODE>makeUpdateDisc</CODE> tool creates Revolution master data (<CODE>rvm</CODE>) for the RVT-R Reader from GCM files.
16</P>
17
18<H2>System Requirements</H2>
19<ul>
20<li>NDEV software (2006/08/21 or later version)
21<li>Cygwin OpenSSL package (0.9.8b-1)
22</ul>
23<P>
24Version 2006/08/21 or later of the NDEV software must be installed before running <CODE>makeUpdateDisc</CODE>. In addition, the Cygwin OpenSSL package must be installed.
25</P>
26<P><EM><STRONG>Note: OpenSSL version 0.9.8b-1, for which operation has been confirmed, is not currently distributed as a Cygwin package. Download OpenSSL version 0.9.8b-1 from <a href="http://www.warioworld.com">Wario World</a>.</STRONG></EM></P>

30<dl><dd><pre class="construction">
31% makeUpdateDisc &lt;inputFile&gt; [&lt;outputFile&gt;]
32</pre></dd></dl>
33
34<P>
35Start Cygwin, using <CODE>RVL_NDEV.bat</CODE>.
36</P>
37
38<P>
39With the GCM file to convert into an RVM file specified as an argument, run <CODE>makeUpdateDisc.bat</CODE> or <CODE>makeUpdateDisc</CODE> from a bash shell.
40</P>
41
42<P>
43<strong>Example:</strong> Creating a disc image to update firmware

46<dl><dd><pre class="construction">
47% makeUpdateDisc $REVOLUTION_SDK_ROOT/RVL/bin/tools/swupdate_SDK-3_2.gcm
48</pre></dd></dl>
49
50<P>
51Since the batch version does not recognize the Cygwin drive notation (such as <CODE>/cygdrive/c/</CODE>), use the DOS format (<CODE>C:</CODE>) for the drive when specifying files by their full path.
52</P>
53
54<P>
55The output file will be named with its extension changed to <CODE>.rvm</CODE> (in the example above, the output file will be named <CODE>swupdate_SDK-3_2.rvm</CODE>), but you can also specify the name of the output file as the second argument.
56</P>
57
58<P>
59Use <CODE>rvtwriter.exe</CODE>, included in the Revolution Writing Software package, to write the generated RVM file to an RVT-R disc.
