E.7.3 The ``program'' command

The flash management utility contains a compressed copy of a flash image of Milo. The ''program'' command allows you to blow this image into flash. The command allows you to back out, but before you run it you should use the ''list'' command to see where to put Milo. If Milo is already in flash, then the flash management utility will offer to overwrite it.

Wait until it has completed before powering off your system.

Note: I cannot emphasise just how careful you must be here not to overwrite an existing flash image that you might need or render your system useless. A very good rule is never to overwrite the Debug Monitor.
