The title says it all - In AN12278, Section 2.3.2.1, the following blurb exists:
"Staging media model. During OTA, a firmware update capsule in SB2.1 file format can be downloaded to the external SPI flash. Once the image is downloaded and validated, the running firmware can invoke a SPI recovery boot using the ROM API. On re-boot the ROM will execute the newly loaded SB2.1 file to update the main flash."
Where can I find documentation/examples for how to accomplish this?
