1 Even though it cannot be a replacement for fc-loadtool in most use cases, FLUID
2 is very aggressively optimized for speed in ways that would be hard to match in
3 our fc-loadtool architecture. Therefore, on those targets which are supported
4 by both FLUID and fc-loadtool, flash programming with FLUID is faster. Here
5 are the performance numbers, flashing an Openmoko GTA02 modem with firmware
6 version moko-new-fw-20190128, going through the external headset jack,
7 UberWaves CP2102 Professional cable:
8
9 fluid-mnf at 115200 baud: 2m28s
10 fc-loadtool at 115200 baud: 4m02s
11 fluid-mnf at 812500 baud: 0m40s
12 fc-loadtool at 812500 baud: 1m12s
13
14 With both tools the m0 version of the firmware image (fwimage.m0) was being
15 flashed; in the case of fc-loadtool the new flash e-program-m0 command was used.
16 The version of fc-loadtool used for this test is the one that is about to be
17 released with fc-host-tools-r13; previous versions would be even slower. In
18 the case of fluid-mnf the -C option was used to disable delta downloads, making
19 the test operation independent of previous flash state.
