                Device: Comtrue-inc Firmware Update

                | Interface | Typical Use Case | Advantages | Constraints | |-----------|------------------|------------|--------------| | | Embedded systems, server boards | Low overhead, no host driver required | Slower (<1 Mbps) | | PCIe VSEC | Add-in cards, root complexes | High speed, direct memory access | Requires PCIe link training | | USB DFU Class | Standalone USB peripherals | Standard OS support (libusb, WinUSB) | Limited to USB 2.0 control endpoints |

                | Failure Scenario | Device Behavior | Host Recovery Action | |----------------|----------------|----------------------| | Interrupted write to backup bank | Backup bank marked invalid; active bank unchanged | Retry update from scratch | | Checksum mismatch after transfer | Device rejects image, returns error code | Re-transmit correct image | | Boot failure from new bank | Device automatically boots from old bank after 2 failed attempts | Query failure reason via diagnostic registers | | Boot ROM corruption (extremely rare) | Device enters ROM bootstrap loader mode (I²C recovery) | Use external programmer or vendor recovery tool | For system integrators, Comtrue recommends the following API structure (pseudocode for Linux, using I²C dev interface): comtrue-inc firmware update device
