One of the important features of the GB610 family is the inclusion of 2 Flash panels. This capability allows for holding two independent software applications, including the boot loader. The Flash can be configured for single boot mode, dual boot mode, or dual boot protected mode. The protected mode of dual boot provides an area safe from any changes and can act as a backup factory image. The dual-partition Flash supports the live update capability, which enables execution from one part of the memory while updating the code - important for always-on industrial, computer, medical/fitness and portable applications.
