Peter,

Its a beta version I have had for a while, just looking at the Ti update
site http://www.ti.com/dvevmupdates it appears to be part of the
ubootupgrade.tar

However, looking in that tar I see that there is a UBL directory, and a
little more information in the readme file. Perhaps this is describing
the process you mentioned.

Regards,

Andrew
