leaps_fw_update_start
Starts firmware update process. Should be called at the beginning before leaps_fw_update_xfer and it can take up to several seconds. If accepted, the request returns command status: “ok” followed by the first data request. The data request should be handled by leaps_fw_update_xfer. The target for the FW update can be either ELDR (extended loader) which has FW ID equal to 1 or the main FW which has FW ID equal to 2. The ELDR is not supported on all HW platforms, see leaps_dev_info_get. command on how to read the device information. Rebooting into the bootloader or into the ELDR is required during the FW update process since the firmware cannot update itself.
The update is not started if refused. The reasons for refused firmware update are:
Not permitted - The FW ID given as the FW update target requires either enter the bootloader mode (the bootloader mode is entered always for a short time after reset, the time for which the module stays in the bootloader mode can be configured by leaps_boot_cfg_set).
Again - reset is required to switch to ELDR/FW and the update start request needs to be sent again after device reset. The device can be reset by leaps_reset.
Internal error
Invalid argument - Invalid hardware version or invalid FW ID.
Ongoing firmware update is restarted by this command.
fw_version: ? 32-bit integer ? (HW version)
fw_id: ‘1’ | ‘2’ (‘1’ for ELDR - Extended Loader or ‘2’ for main firmware)
fw_checksum: ? 32-bit integer ? (crc32 of the firmware to be uploaded)
fw_size: ? 32-bit integer ? (size of the firmware)
