Flash areas reserved for non-file-based data
Besides the areas assigned to “static” files like e.g. the *
.nxi
firmware or
the *
.hwc
hardware configuration, the flash layout requires the definition of
the following areas for “non-file-based” data:
·
Management area (manages the storage of remanent data)
·
Remanent area (stores remanent data)
·
Firmware update area (intermediate storage of firmware update data)
Offsets and sizes of these areas are described in the
Flash area definition
values
tables in the following sections.
Important:
If you are not programming a “blank” netX 90 device (i.e. if a *
.nxi
firmware ran on the netX before, thus using the management area
and the remanent area for data storage), make sure that these
areas are empty by erasing them with the Flasher tool. See section
How to use the Command line flasher
page 57] for information
on how to erase flash areas.
