92
>RedBoot
93
normally resides in an EPROM or, more common these days, a flash
94
on the board. In the former case, updating RedBoot necessitates
95
physically removing the part and
96
reprogramming a new RedBoot image into it using prommer hardware. In
97
the latter case, it is often possible to update RedBoot in situ using
98
Redboot's flash management commands.</P
99
><P
100
>The process of updating RedBoot in situ is documented in this
101
section. For this process, it is assumed that the target is connected
102
to a host system and that there is a serial connection giving access
103
to the RedBoot CLI. For platforms with a ROMRAM mode RedBoot, skip to

determine the image location and size parameters. This greatly reduces

the risk of potential critical mistakes due to typographical errors. It is

still always possible to explicitly specify parameters, and indeed

override these, but it is not advised.</P
