PRG-TOOLBOX-FB release note

Applicable for

STM32MP13x lines, STM32MP15x lines

---

PRG-TOOLBOX-FB is an open-source tool provided by STMicroelectronics. This tool is designed to take advantage of Fastboot high transfer bandwidth, to write into external flash memory (like eMMC, SDMMC…).
Fastboot (FB) is a protocol that was originally created for Android™ and is primarily used to modify the flash filesystem via a USB connection from a host computer.

The tool is a wrapper for Fastboot. It is specifically designed for STM32 MPU products.

More information can be found in the detailed release notes referenced later in this article.

Flash memories combine high density and cost effectiveness of EPROMs with the electrical erasability of EEPROMs. For this reason, the Flash memory market is one of the most exciting areas of the semiconductor industry today and new applications requiring in system reprogramming, such as cellular telephones, automotive engine management systems, hard disk drives, PC BIOS software for Plug & Play, digital TV, set top boxes, fax and other modems, PC cards and multimedia CD-ROMs, offer the prospect of very high volume demand.
