All sizes and offsets above can be specified as decimal numbers, or as hexadecimal numbers by prefixing them with 0x. It is also possible to use the suffixes k and M to specify kilo (1024) or mega (1048576).

At this moment you have to switch off (if it was on) the FOX Board, close the jumper J8 (Ethernet flashing)
on the FOX Board and switch it on again (with the FOX on the same LAN of the PC launching boot_linux).

## Network flashing with another FOX Board
In this article we'll illustrate how to flash the entire fimage of a FOX Board from another FOX Board. This application is very useful to transfer the production
fimage on the FOX Boards during hi-volume manifacturing without the use of a dedicated Linux PC
mount -t vfat /dev/sda1 /mnt/1
./foxflash /mnt/1/myimage
$ftp 192.168.0.90 Connected to 192.168.0.90. 220 Fox Linux Board release 2.00 (mag 26 2005) ready. Name (192.168.0.90): root 331 User name okay, need password. Password: pass 230 User logged in, proceed. Remote system type is UNIX. Using binary mode to transfer files. ftp> put fimage flash_all local: fimage remote: flash_all 227 Entering Passive Mode (192,168,0,90,12,0) 150-Shutting down processes. Preparing system for upgrade ...During the programming phase the red led (DL1) of the FOX board remains all the time on. ## Network flashing through WEB This article describes how to reprogram the FLASH memory using a web browser Into the default Web page available on the FOX Board there are two links that permit to upload a new image on the FOX Board flash memory:
