Hi Shanly,
Thanks for the reply. We have tried doing this and seem to be getting the
following error:

#log info 187063 raw
attempting\_to_\_program\_flash_comic_2013_Jun_21_0733.bof
#log error 187069 raw bad\_magic\_in\_file\_bof\_header
!progdev fail

Also from within roach, on trying ./boffile: we get: cannot execute binary
file
(please refer to
http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg04193.html).
