The board update portal asks to use it.
But more specifically, it appears the script appears to create a cof file with the following settings:
startaddr="02C00000"
username="Page_1"
pageflags="2"
This generates a pof file, which is then converted to a binary using the following:
str=`xxd -l 200 -ps -c 200 ${filename}.pof | sed 's/ffffff*//g'`
head=`expr length $str`
len=`expr $head / 2 + 46137344`
dd skip=$len count=45088700 if=${filename}.pof of=${filename}.bin ibs=1 obs=1048576
Which appears to just be selecting a raw section of the pof and copying it out.
When using the Programming File Generator directly, it will not allow the creation of a pof with Page set to 1 (equiv to pageflags=2 in a cof).
It also doesn't do the second step of extracting a raw section of the pof file.
