Description

numsectors

Number of sectors to copy.

BE VERY CAREFUL! Using the fd.copyfirmware on incorrect data will "incapacitate" your device and further remote upgrades will become impossible. You will need to physically go to your device and upload correct firmware and/or application, possibly through its serial port. Scary, huh?
