Hi all,

I would like to write an application to update the whole OS image.
I would the final user can run the application, choose a new OS image
file from a mass storage (USB key) and then launch the update.
At the end they must turn off and on the device.

Can I use the bootpart library to reprogram the flash?
I have to parse the .bin file or can I use the .nb0?

I'm working with WINCE.NET - PB 4.2 and my platform is a pxa255
processor board with 32M NOR flash and 64M sdram.
My image is non-XIP.
I have reghive registry and a persistent flash partition.

I need a lot of tips!

Thanks in advance.
