boot firmware from eeprom

Hi, I would like to download firmware to EEPROM. How can I do that? I think I can use firmware example "boot_fw" on the SDK. But I do not understand the way to use. Could you teach me the way? Best regards, Kochi

 To download code to EEPROM you should be able to use Control Center (Program -> FX3 followed by which EEPROM you want to program). Are have I misunderstood your requirement?

Regards,

Anand
