12 years agoI've done remote update via Ethernet utilizing uC-OSii (it made it pretty easy since they had an example).
Basically, my embedded server (based on simple socket server in the NIOS II IDE) would detect that I wanted to update the firmware and it would reboot to the reprogramming mode (a different reset vector), then I integrated into my GUI their scheme which was command line 'tftp.' I DID 'zImage' and 'firmware image' separately because one could be updated without the other one needing it. I don't know the specifics of the hardware design, I do the embedded stuff.
