[RE-wrenches] Schneider Bootloader mode

[Maverick Brown]

Doesn’t the boot loader start after no code runs? Therefore couldn’t you attempt to upgrade the CC firmware again? That has worked for me in the past.  Sometimes I think Xanbus can be delicate and I’ll use the Combox direct to the device being upgraded or use the Setup tool (config tool) direct to the device being updated.
