Introduction
This document defines the mechanism to force USB-Link firmware update without the
usual version checks. The driver for this support is providing end users the ability to roll
back USB-Link firmware in the field, typically as a debugging tool.
Implementation
The USB-Link installation includes the utility binload.exe in \nexiq\Test\ path.
In the event a user has a need to update the USB-Link firmware file to an older version
than that currently installed, the following sequence is performed:
Click OK to exit
Once firmware update has been completed, re-open binload.exe and set
Enable automatic USB-Link firmware update to unchecked, then click OK to exit.
This will prevent automatic firmware update sequence in subsequent connections.
