The following is a list of firmware files used by the LAN969x family of EVBs when running VelocityDRIVE-SP.

File Name Usage

File Name	Usage
`lan969x_<BOARD-PN>.bin`	This is the binary object code. It is an intermediate file which is not used directly.
`lan969x_<BOARD-PN>-secure.fip`	This is a required bootloader. This file is part of the flash image (`.img`), but is also used if updating the bootloader over the air using CoAP.
`lan969x_<BOARD-PN>.cbor`	This is the CBOR (binary) board configuration file. This file is appended to the `.bin` file before it is embedded in the `fip`.
`lan969x_<BOARD-PN>.fip`	This is the firmware image used when performing firmware updates over the air via CoAP.
`lan969x_<BOARD-PN>.img`	This is a full flash image containing the bootloader, two `fip` files (for dual image) and a user config partition which is memset to zero. This is used in production to prepare the flash, or to perform a de-brick operation.
