The tool achieves the startup of Fastboot mode, without requiring any manual hardware setting. It is based on U-Boot script .

PRG-TOOLBOX-FB - Version v2.0.0 version - New with OpenSTLinux-v5.1.0.

PRG-TOOLBOX-FB is an open-source tool provided by STMicroelectronics. This tool is designed to take advantage of Fastboot high transfer bandwidth, to write into external flash memory (like eMMC, SDMMC…).
Fastboot (FB) is a protocol that was originally created for Android™ and is primarily used to modify the flash filesystem via a USB connection from a host computer.

The tool is a wrapper for Fastboot. It is specifically designed for STM32 MPU products.
