MC7304 firmware upgrade under Windows CE/Embedded Compact 7

The firmware changelog says that stability issues has been fixed between 5.5.58 and 5.5.78 (when coming back into coverage and under low signal conditions). I don’t have much confidence that this will fix the issues we’re seeing (system freezes, CE kernel log shows exceptions). But a least I’d like to give the latest firmware a try.

Yes, we’re using that SDK. It seems to contain support for firmware updating. The GetImageInfoW() function fails with an error when pointing to the mentioned .spk file, you can see the log output in my first post.

We did try the image manager application, but it doesn’t work. It says “This module is not supported”.

So the questions:

  • What type of image is supported by the CE SDK? Is the .spk file the right one?
  • Is there sample source code which shows how to do a firmware update?

Thanks,
Christian
