DESCRIPTION:

To update the NetBootLoader itself, the command “clone” is used.

The application image source for programming may either be the
data buffer or a DIL FLASH installed in the Memory Expansion
socket. If the source is the data buffer, the image must first be
downloaded to the data buffer from an ftp server. If the image is in the

DESCRIPTION:

DIL FLASH it is programmed directly to the onboard soldered
FLASH.

To program directly from the DIL FLASH, the command “clone” is
used without the “-n” option. The update will be programmed even if
the CPU board has been initialized from the DIL FLASH (Boot jumper
installed) with the new image.

To program from the data buffer, the command “clone -n” is used.

In both cases, the new image is checked for validity. If an image is
invalid, the update is aborted. Additionally, the operation must be
confirmed by typing the word “yes”. Any other or no input will cancel
the operation.

USAGE:
