Firmware Images

• fc-boot-v###.hex

  • For use with Teensy Loader, JTAG debuggers, or the Testjig.
• fc-firmware-v###.hex
  • Firmware image, including bootloader, in Intel Hex format.
  • For use with Teensy Loader, JTAG debuggers, or the Testjig.
  • Since this includes the bootloader, it can be updated with dfu-util if necessary.
• fc-firmware-v###.elf
  • ELF binary for the firmware. Includes debug symbols. Does NOT include the bootloader.
  • For use with GDB. Also used to generate Testjig firmware images.
  • Mainly used as a source file for generating other types of firmware images. You probably won't use it directly.
