Sounds like fun! :)>> Just wondering, what are you doing that requires you to overwrite firmware> on the fly?>For expain the situation: co-processors are some RISC cpus whichperrfom some critical tasks. Problem is limitation of memory in thisco-processors. It has only 8k flash. Code which is written for thisco-processors is bigger like 8k, so it is splitted to some lest's saylogical parts. That's the reason why I need to change FW on -fly. Iknow it seems dangerous and completely strange :D but what you proposeto do? (code for co-processors is written in asm, so compileroptimatization doesn't help to reduce code size ;))
