[OLPC Networking] Testing the Wireless driver changes

[Ronak Chokshi]

After downloading the firmware, the ARM is told by the boot2 to jump to
a specific location of the internal memory. If the firmware is not
downloaded, the boot2 starts the grab the firmware from the Flash and
jumps to the same location of the internal memory once that is done. The
flash tool does not figure out anything here. The boot2 code is smart
enough to figure that out.

 

Best Regards,

Ronak

Dan, 

You have to ask Ronak that. Right now the flash writing logic lives in
the firmware.
