Bost - Built-in Onboard Self Test Options

[fladda]

The original Siemens bootlader contains the code for BOST - the Simpad's Built-in Onboard Self Test routines. BOST even has an option to programme the fabdata string(s) - in answer to Digi's question this is how it can be done !

Not sure if you can access BOST using the standard Siemens 2.4 or 2.5.3 bootloaders. I managed to get BOST running by simply changing one byte of the 2.4 bootloader code, and then reflashing the modified 2.4 bootloader into my Simpad.

Instructions to follow (first I want to have a look at the test commands:-)

These items look very familiar!!! I saw most of them looking at the bootloaders with a hex-editor, and thats what made me post the question with the extended commands. Veeery interesting!
