To upload flasherboard firmware (the latest release file should already be on the DOM after uploading the release.hex)
(only for release after 400)

If this does not work check the card, pair and A/B by:
on all
And e.g. for DOM at position 00A do:
domterm 00A
it is very important that you never use enableFBmin
on more than one DOM at a time.
then, be sure to do an off all!
this is VERY IMPORTANT (to prevent damage to filter boxes)
 
enableFBmin
enableFBmin: LEDs may come on (steady-state) on older flasherboards.
Use enableFB unless CPLD state prevents it! Continue [y/n]? y

Summary of commands you will need:
enableFB
 powers on fb, resets, enables DC/DC, initializes width/brightness/mux, clears LED flops, etc etc etc with our new validation scheme in
place.
enableFBmin
 simply powers on fb and resets CPLD, without any checks. use this if the cpld is hosed and needs to be reprogrammed (enableFB will
fail its checks and will power the fb back off)
disableFB
 disables and powers down the fb
getFBfw
 return the fb firmware version
getFBhw
 return the fb hardware (board artwork) version
fbid type
  return the fb id
fb-cpld
 used to reprogram fb cpld, as in s" blah.xsvf" find if fb-cpld endif
127 setFBbrightness
 set the fb brightness level (127 here)
64 setFBwidth
 set the fb pulse width (64 here)
$fff setFBenables
 set the binary FB enable mask (all 12 LEDs enabled here). The "$" specifies hex, but if you are good at translating binary masks to
decimal, you don't need this. bit[0] is LED1, bit[1] is LED2, etc...
2 setFBmux
 mux which LED current is sent back to the mainboard (LED2 here). An argument of 0 disables the mux, while 13 selects the TTL driver
pulse.
startFBflashing
 starts the flasher board flashing
stopFBflashing
 stops the flasher board flashing
(1 setFBdcdc, getFBdcdc)
 independent control of the DC/DC enable bit, for debug. leaving in for now.
