[edit] Autoupdate

AutoUpdate will download a new code image to your NetBurner device. This update can be done from any point that has network access. AutoUpdate can be run as a WIN32 GUI Application, or can be run without user intervention.

Full details on using AutoUpdate from a command prompt can be found in the NetBurnerTools.pdf manual.

Synopsis

 -R tells the application to reboot after the download
 -A runs the download without user intervention

NetBurner AutoUpdate Version 2.0

[edit] Autoupdate Steps

(I'm guessing at the steps after #1, when I get confirmation from the folks at NetBurner either I or they will removed this parenthetical thought).

1. Will Malloc a block of SDRAM large enough to hold the new application image. Autoupdate will display an insufficient memory error if this fails.
2. Writes the new program into SDRAM
3. Validates that the program was properly written into SDRAM
4. Transfers the program from SDRAM into Flash memory.
5. Reboots the device (if checkbox is enabled).
