Details
flash_update.ko is the NOR-Flash updating kernel module.
AVM calls it the Low-Level-Channel-Driver for FLASH_UPDATE support.
It is called during a Firmware-Update at the end of the prepare_fwupgrade shutdown script.
It is also used for booting SDK-Firmware at the end of the boot_sdk.sh hotplug script.
While this module is present in the rootfs of many NOR-Flash firmware it is also present in Firmware-Images for these models,
often multiple variants for different Kernel versions, see the Firmware-Files.
Parameters
Daily updated index of all parameters for this module found scanning Firmware-Probes. Last update: 2025-05-26 06:16 GMT.
These parameters can be passed while loading the module like: modprobe <module> <parameter>=<value> ....
Parameters are listed multiple times if different descriptions were found in probes, which can be helpful to see evolution.
