Helper image and bootloader—The helper image is used to reimage the
NM-CIDS hard-disk drive. You boot the helper image from the NM-CIDS
firmware, which includes the BIOS and the bootloader. The bootloader
supports booting from a TFTP server and booting an image from the
hard-disk drive. After this image is booted, it provides support for TFTP and
SSH. You can use either protocol to load the application image and write it to
the hard-disk drive. Helper image and bootloader files are released as needed.
