Summary0006827: WHDLoad-Startup is executed while slave is loading preventing some things to not complete on time
DescriptionI’ve been hitting this issue for some time and don’t think it is related to the 20.0 beta but this is currently the version i’m using.

It seems like I cannot get the USB stack and network to stop in time with the startup script. WHDLoad loads slave but then I get various errors. If I stopped them manually, I’m not seeing the issue.
Steps To ReproduceTo highlight the issue, if you put
SET ECHO ON
C:WAIT 20

at the top of the WHDLoad-Startup, you can see that the script will wait 20 seconds while the WHDLOAD is loading the slave and even go into the game before the script is actually complete. This causes various issues since USB is not stopped or network is not stopped in time
Additional InformationI would like to put a C:WAIT 20 at the bottom of the WHDLOAD-startup script to give more time for things to stop but this doesn’t seem to matter as WHDLOAD still loads slave before script is done.

I don't really understand the problem.
The Startup script is run synchronized by whdload. Which means whdload does wait for the script to finish and them continues.

Do you use RUN command somewhere?

I'm not using run. I see the following:

While splash window is up preload happens and at same time startup is run. Even with preload is disabled and script is not done game can launch. I'm away from my 4000t but can try a bit more on a1200 in a few days to see if I can send photo of the setup

The startup script is run before preload starts.
You can use TRACE option and check .whdl_trace file to see what happens.

I got to try this on an A1200. I was able to run WHDLOAD 2 different ways:

1) From workbench by double clicking icon and using startfrom=Workbench in Icon Information Window
2) From shell and typing whdload with slave name.

From workbench execution, I see the issue but with shell I do not. With shell, it waits till startup script is done before continuing to load. In workbench this is not happening. I'm attaching trace files.

In this test I commented everything in the startup and cleanup scripts and only had the following lines in the startup. For testing purposes, I manually disabled all the network things, etc. before I executed whdload.

set echo on
C:Wait 30
Echo "Done"

Adding trace dump when executed from shell.

Yes, this is working nicely! In workbench, the splash screen for the slave now comes up after the startup script is completed. Thanks a lot.
