1 Here are the expected run times for the flash dump2bin operation of dumping the
2 entire flash content of a Calypso GSM device:
3
4 Dump of 4 MiB flash (e.g., Openmoko GTA01/02 or Mot C139/140) at 115200 baud:
5 12m53s
6
7 The same 4 MiB flash dump at 812500 baud: 1m50s
8
9 Dump of 8 MiB flash (e.g., Mot C155/156) at 812500 baud: 3m40s

11 Because of the architecture of fc-loadtool and its loadagent back-end, the run
12 time of a flash dump operation depends only on the serial baud rate and the
13 size of the flash area to be dumped; it should not depend on the USB-serial
14 adapter type or any host system properties, as long as the host system and
15 serial adapter combination supports the desired baud rate. In contrast, flash
16 programming and fc-xram loading operations are quite different in that their
17 run times do depend on the host system and USB-serial adapter or other serial
18 port hardware - this host system dependency exists because of the way these
19 operations are implemented in our architecture.
