AM2612: Benefits of Using FOTA Agent Without XIP?

Hi Daniel,

The FOTA use case utilises, Bootseg IP, Fota Agent and FLSOPSKD.

The FOTA Agent provides fucntioanlity to Update Firmware over The Air by scheduling the writes in chunks of smaller size while the new image is being recieved over a certain protocol. Also the bootseg IP can be used to boot from the newly received image which would be in a different address. This is basically like a address remap facility. 

These features can provide added benefits and simplicity even if application is run from RAM.
