-====== Firmware updates from SD-card ====== 
- 
-===== Bootloader configuration ===== 
-In order to perform firmware updates with the OpenBLT from SD-card, double-check that the file system configured in "​blt_conf.h"​. The following macro should have a value of 1. If this macro did not yet have a value of 1, the bootloader should be rebuild after making the change. 
-<​code>​ 
-#define BOOT_FILE_SYS_ENABLE ​           (1) 
-</​code>​

-===== SD-card preparation and update procedure ===== 
-The demo bootloaders that support firmware updates from SD-card are configured to look for a S-record firmware filename with a predetermined name in the root directory on the SD-card. The filename is configured as a constant character array **firmwareFilename[]** in hooks.c. Here is the example for the STM32-E407 demo: 
-<​code>​ 
-static const blt_char firmwareFilename[] = "/​demoprog_olimex_stm32e407.srec";​ 
-</​code>​ 
- 
-To prepare the SD-card, perform the following steps: 
-  - Insert the SD-card into your PC and store the firmware file (as specified by **firmwareFilename[]**) in its root directory. For the demo programs, you can find this file in the "​.\**Prog**\bin\"​ directory. ​ 
-  - Insert the SD-card into the card holder on the microcontroller board. 
-  - Reset the microcontroller to start the firmware update. Once done, the newly programmed firmware is automatically started. 
- 
-Note that the bootloader demo is configured to output log messages to a serial terminal. This enables you to view the progress of the firmware update with a terminal program such as Putty. The communication speed is typically 57600 bits/sec. Additionally,​ the log messages are written to a file called **bootlog.txt** on the SD-card, which can optionally be checked for verification purposes. ​
