Software Summary
The SET-TOP software is programmed in the factory into the set-top Flash memory. The set-top leaves the factory with a code, which at minimum consists of a Bootloader and an application program. The application program will vary for different production batches and at minimum allows for: Tuning of the Free-to-Air i.e. non-scrambled digital programs that exist on a given network, Set-up screens for the terminal Basic terminal diagnostics (hidden from the user, available for an authorized technician)
Bootloader Code allows the set-top to be downloaded with the operating software at the time of the installation of the terminal, when the Digital Head-End provides a download spooler with a new software version. Otherwise, the terminal will operate with the software which was programmed in the Flash in the factory. The Bootloader also allows subsequent software upgrades based on the CVT (code version table) mechanism. Optionally, the Bootloader Code can be locked in the first segment of the Flash. Locking of the Bootloader in the factory requires specific authorization from S-A. The application and operating system software in the set-top can be upgraded over the HFC network.

2.2.2 Bootloader
The bootloader code is a set of procedures that is executed directly from the settop reset. This code contains simple checkup and recovery procedures, ensuring basic equipment operation even when the rest of the box software is corrupted or missing. The bootloader code is intended to be located at the physical beginning of the Flash. All current flash parts have sectored architecture that allows erasing and programming of individual sectors. The bootloader module is assumed to fit into the first sector (16K) and the 5th sector (64K) of flash in the Explorer Z65/75DVB..These sectors have the ability to be locked out. This lock out feature allows placing of important configuration data and the recovery program in these sectors, thereby protecting against accidental erasure. Refer to document number 7005950, Explorer 100DVB Bootloader Design document for more detailed information on the bootloader.
