Using Flash to Upgrade Modem Firmware
The linear flash memory downloader in the modem firmware allows flash
memory connected to the modem external memory bus to be upgraded
with revised modem firmware. This process transfers (uploads) the
upgraded modem firmware (data) from the host computer to the modem
which transfers (downloads) the data to the flash memory device. Note that
this downloader function must be provided in modem MCU firmware
initially installed in external flash memory, i.e., the downloader does not
support the programming of blank flash memory. Programming the flash
memory device is a two-step process:
A. When the AT** command is issued, the modem firmware boot loader
is invoked and you will first load a flash load module (FLM) into the
modem’s RAM. The FLM contains the programming algorithm for the
flash memory device being programmed and any messages that may be
sent during the load process.
B. Load the new modem firmware which the FLM will then program into
the flash memory device.
