Ok so by design you really only want a single firmware image.
Right.. I think Ron has me fixed up. I was unaware that there was an overall flag that enabled/disabled the fallback system.
In the generic code yes.
It should be straight forward to remove all of the tests etc for switching from a fallback to a normal image.
Do I really have to remove them? Ron seemed to suggest that if I just turn off the fallback suff then I will end up with only a singel fallback image.
I was thinking of the per board test that make the policy decision which image you should be in.
For those of us who have field upgradable systems it makes a bigger
difference.
Yeah I would say so... Since you guys have the power to render 1000 paperweights with a single command.
Ron came insanely close to doing just that a while ago.
Our product is going to go into Gasoline pumps. You would not believe the lengths that some store operators go to so they can cheat the consumer slightly per fillup. So our customer requires a flash update to be physical mod.
Now that is a sane reason not to have field upgradable parts. :)
