Capsule Recovery - Intel Quark SoC X1000 Software User's Manual

Capsule Recovery

The BSP software provides a mechanism for the SPI flash contents to be recovered if
the board will not boot. For example, if power was lost during a normal SPI flash
update, the board would be unbootable.
Capsule recovery is comprised of the following high-level steps:
 building a FVMAIN.fv recovery file

connecting a USB key with this file to the board
 booting the board in recovery mode
If you are using the Intel® Galileo board, refer to the Intel® Galileo Board User Guide
Note:
for details. For other boards, contact your Intel representative for details on how to
boot in recovery mode.
 waiting for the recovery firmware to update the SPI flash and reboot the board
 Capsule recovery is expected to recover from the same version of recovery file in
the system.
Booting in recovery mode is board specific. Please refer to the board user guide for
details.
Alternatively, the SPI flash contents can be recovered using a DediProg* SF100 SPI
Flash Programmer and the associated flashing software to program your board as
described in
