If the X9kcat can emulate an eeprom, then the "how" doesn't really
matter -- RSS works, but so will anything else that can pretend to be
RSS. If it additionally has a command set accessible over some sort of
(probably serial) channel, whatever that may be, then there's an
additional way code plug data could be shoved in.
Currently the write line isn't connected and the level converters aren't
bidirectional so the X9kcat can't be written to by RSS in the usual manner.
Additionally there's the open question of if the radio writes to the EEPROM
during normal operation.
This may be a fatal error in the currently proposed design.
**IF** it is possible to get or generate a RAW EEPROM image from the RSS
disk file then that could be loaded over SB9600 via a protocol converter
or we could flash it using the USB port with the initial firmware.
Targeting a 2K radio might be a necessity if write support is needed.
BTW: I bought a high band X9000 yesterday, it should be here next week.
I don't have a control head or cable yet...
