and

app2.rbf

to the

and

respectively.

Note: P1 and P2 are user-defined partition names.

10. If you generate the

.jic

file, select the Flash Loader. On the Configuration Device tab, select Flash Loader, click

Select. Select device family and device name. Click OK.

11. Click Generate to generate the remote system update programming files. After generating the programming file, you can

proceed to program the flash memory.
