OTA slow download

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: Z-STACK

Hi TI,

I got everything working for z-stack mesh OTA. I've used OTA Dongle Coordinator and GenericApp with ported OTA capability for end node. However, the downloading part to the end node is a bit slow. 2.48% - 3.11% takes 1 min!

I'm using the Image A with Bootloader for my end node. I've finished compiling the Image B. I got a warning during the Image A Bootloader compilation though (see attached text file)
