If you flash a program into the K flop for the basic machine functions as Tim is planning, Once a PC is connected what happens to the Flashed program?  Can the  PC just overwrite the Threads that were loaded from the Flash on power up?

Hi Tim/AZ,

I missed that part about Flashing a power up program to KFLOP.  As AZ points out you would need to do that in order to have that functionality without a PC.

The only reason we don't recommend Flashing User Programs is because in most cases (unlike this) it is unnecessary and it can be confusing.   You will need to keep track of what is Flashed into KFLOP.  If you swap KFLOP to another location you will need to remove or change what is Flashed into the board.  To upgrade to a newer Version you will need to Upgrade to the new Version and then re-Flash your startup program.  If you are careful, know what you are doing, and keep track of what you have done, there is no issue.

HTH

Hi AZ,

Yes.  Everything in KFLOP executes from RAM.  Basically Flashing User Data makes a copy of RAM to Flash, then copies back on power up to restore things.
