Firmware Upgrade NOTE: Since SE4200 firmware has changed the flash layout of MSCC standard Alpha Candidate release codebase, it does not support updating firmware from previous version or codebase directly to Rev 0.5.0.
Context SE4200 supports upgrading the firmware and configuration binary file through UART. NOTE: Since SE4200 firmware has changed the flash layout of the MSCC standard Alpha Candidate release codebase, it does not support upgrading firmware from previous versions or codebases directly to Rev 0.5.0.
