The eFlash configuration file
This is an optional file, .eflashrc, that resides on the host in the root user’s home directory. The
purpose of the file is to allow a Picture Perfect operator to define flashing requirements for the entire
system once, and then use part or all of the definition to flash or reflash micros as needed. This file
can be used for scheduling unattended flashing.
