2.12 Upgrading the AdderView's flash memory

The AdderView GEM uses flash memory technology which enables the firmware code to be upgraded by the user. Upgrades are performed by connecting a PC's serial port to the AdderView's options port and running an upgrade program on the PC. This upgrade program downloads the new firmware to the AdderView and checks that the data has been programmed correctly.
