Accessing Boot Manager B-1
Appendix B Boot Manager
This appendix describes the various options of the Boot Manager.

B.1 Preface

FCD-IPM includes a Dual Image Flash, capable of storing two different versions of
software in two different partitions.
Upon reset, FCD-IPM automatically runs the program stored in the active
partition.
New software versions are loaded into the backup partition. If loading succeeds,
the backup partition becomes the active partition and FCD-IPM is reset
automatically, running the new software version. If loading fails, the device is still
capable of working, since the Flash partition storing the old version remains active.
The Boot Manager can control dual Image Flash. Use the Boot Manager to:
Download new software
Manually define the active and backup partitions
Run the backup partition
Erase some or all information from Flash.
