Copy Flash Region

Any region of the Flash Layout can be exported from one Colibri to another one. It is also possible to copy the whole flash image, excluding Serial Number and MAC Address.

Update Tool Version 3.1 and newer​

With Image Version 3.4 beta 2 also, the Update Tool Version 3.1 is available. You can find the Image in our Download Section.

With this Update Tool, it is possible to save and restore the whole Flash Memory or just in parts, like Bootloader, Config Block, Image or the Registry.

Please have a look at the Update Tool Video Tutorial.

NOTE: It is not possible to restore .bin files which include the Flash file system with the bootloader. Use the Update Tool in these cases to restore the .bin file.

Update Tool older than Version 3.1​
