@ -6,12 +6,18 @@ a simple PUS (CCSDS) interface to update the software. It also provides a Python
called the `image-loader.py` which can be used to upload compiled images to the flashloader
application to write them to the NVM.
Please note that the both the application and the image loader are tailored towards usage
with the [bootloader provided by this repository](https://egit.irs.uni-stuttgart.de/rust/va416xx-rs/src/branch/main/bootloader).
The software can quickly be adapted to interface with a real primary on-board software instead of
the Python script provided here to upload images because it uses a low-level CCSDS based packet
interface.
## Using the Python image loader
The Python image loader communicates with the Rust flashload application using a dedicated serial
port with a baudrate of 115200.
It is recommended to run the script in a dedicated virtual environment. For example, on UNIX
systems you can use `python3 -m venv venv` and then `source venv/bin/activate` to create
and activate a virtual environment.
