The product that you want to update needs to have application firmware running: just bootloader is not enough. The update starts with requesting the hardware IDs (VE.Bus discovery) from the running application. Those hardware IDs are then used to address the VE.Bus devices once in bootloader mode. After the discovery, the hardware IDs aare stored in a file. In case, for example because of a power loss, the update fails, vbdup will automatically use the hardware IDs stored in that file. | The product that you want to update needs to have application firmware running: just bootloader is not enough.
