fwexec(1)

NAME

fwexec - upload firmware image to a connected NXT device and run it from RAM

SYNOPSIS

fwexec [options]... file [load_address [jump_address]]

fwexec (-l|-h)

DESCRIPTION

The fwexec utility is similar to fwflash(1), but the firmware image is uploaded to NXT RAM and executed from there. The image must have been compiled specially to handle this.

The NXT must be in bootloader mode, see fwflash(1) for more details.

The fwexec utility is part of LibNXT.

-l

List detected devices and exit.

-y

-b

Select device already in bootloader mode only, ignore other NXT devices.

-s SERIAL

Select device with this serial (e.g. 00:16:53:01:02:03). This does not work in bootloader mode, devices in bootloader mode are always selected.
