Figure 11: Updating the DLA firmware with udutool
USB update tool will only allow you to update only the application code in the DLA
and not the bootcode. This means that if you interrupt the update, you should be
able to run it again and complete the update. However, it is highly recommended
that the update be run without interruptions. The DLA should only be disconnected
when USB update tool reports the update has completed successfully.
