.
To download a kernel (K8700.shx) or bootloader (BL8700.shx) update, the procedure
is the same as that for downloading a program.
Any attempt to download an older version of bootloader will be rejected.
The system will restart itself right after downloading.
Warning: Whether during the downloading of kernel update or during the system
re-start right after the kernel update, the mobile computer mustn’t be
powered off as it could lead to the permanent crash of the kernel.
Note: When RS-232 is selected for the transmission interface, the mobile computer stays
in download mode for about 30 seconds only. The preparation (such as connecting
the RS-232 cable) and the kernel update should be done before the download
mode expires.
