firm

The firm program is used to download firmware. The firmware consists of several types, by number, which must be downloaded in the proper sequence. firmload automatically takes care of identifying the proper files and downloading them in the correct sequence.

The sequence is as follows:

Type 2 (PROC_APP) = Control processor firmware Type 1 (DSP_APP) = DSP firmware

Bfv API debug mode is turned on. The btcall.cfg file is the user configuration file. The firm program is found in the bapp.src directory.
