Kernel Code which takes control of the device and allows reprogramming functions. This
code is often downloaded to the device.
Micro Kernel The part of the kernel which gets executed first and allows initial configuration and
downloading of the main kernel.
Main Kernel The part of the kernel which gets downloaded by the micro kern el and handles
downloading of additional modules (if required) to perform the read / write / blank
check / erase functions etc.
E8 / E8USB This is a USB interface board. It supports programming over the single wire interface
and clock synchronous programming using the four wire interface.
FoUSB This is a USB interface board developed by RTA. It is used for Flash Programming
and in-circuit debugging. This is currently not supported by FDT in the Asia region.
Field Programming -
Publishing
The ability to package all kernel and data files into a single file for simplified sending
to another FDT user.
E8Direct A firmware update to the E8 (using the existing E8 hardware), designed to be as
similar as possible to the FDM
