7.4.6
Rebuild Image
Rebuilding the image merges all files in the project that are not excluded. The default ROM area is the User
Area, some devices also have a User Boot Area or a Data Area. FDT will warn if the component files
overlap. Building an image can be advantageous when the data you wish to program is made up of separate
component files – especially if data from different files will reside in the same erase block area because
downloading each component file separately could cause the device to erase the block before the second
download if automatic protection is used.
7.4.7
Download Image
Downloads the image built by a Rebuild Image. If the image is out of date (i.e. source files have changed)
then FDT will offer to rebuild before the download occurs.
