1.4 Miscellaneous Controls and Displays
The top row of FlashTool displays some useful information, as well as has a few more buttons.
On the right-hand side, the selected product and its revision are displayed.
Also, the Total number of records is displayed, along with the "Space mode" status.
1.4.1 Add Configurations
This button adds a new "Configuration" tab so a entirely new FCFG can be used. This enables the user to read in FCFG files for different things, letting them aggregate multiple FCFG files in to one image.
Currently, the use case would be for AGP patches, which in reality are a series of commands. For example, 4 .FCFG files containing AGP patches and insert them in the command stream where they are wanted. The basic idea is how to provide fragments of FCFG files to customers without having to re-write or hand assemble the final FCFG.
On parts like the AP0200, patches for the AGP are ISP commands. So take a number of patch FCFG files (remember, these are just normal commands, and not patch records), and open up their configuration (resolution, STE, etc), and import the patches one at a time, and have them inserted into flashtool where they are wanted This resolves the problem of having to hand edit the FCFG file and then open FlashTool.
