The IOT cannot be reloaded or downgraded using this feature.
A Regular AltBoot takes approximately 5-10 minutes.
CAUTION
This feature should be used with extreme caution as it will replace bootcode as well as application code. Power Failure during a
Forced Altboot while programming bootcode may result in certain PWBs (DUI, Finisher) not being recoverable.
A Forced Altboot will upgrade or downgrade every component on the entire machine regardless of the currently-installed software
version. A Forced Altboot is required for recovering from corrupt application code on devices such as Fax, IOT, IIT.
A Forced Altboot should be used if the Finisher software requires upgrade or reloading.
