EFlash

EFlash is a process that reflashes the Pocket PC operating system, in whole or in
part, to nonvolatile flash memory. Its primary purpose is to install operating
system upgrades on ROM-based systems.
The biggest advantage EFlash has over other flashing techniques is that it can
be run remotely over FTP (or other remote support service) and requires no user
interaction at the level of the 700 Series Computer. Thus system upgrades can
be managed from a remote central location. Normally, this would be done off-
duty while 700 Series Computers are docked. EFlash also has the advantage in
that there is no restriction as to what part of the system can be upgraded.
