Colin,
than you for the answer, but..

My question was about DFU, not about xflash!
I wrote above:
Upgrade is making not with XFLASH utility, so it is Booloader, which can fail, but I cannot imagine that the developers of the Bootloader makes this upgrade possible few times only.
For example - I'm plaing with Audio Reference Design. There is DFU inside.
Question - is the number of ugrades is limited by the eeprom size, or if the memory ends, it will roll and write the next upgrade image instead of the first one (i.e. - after the factory image)?
So, if it can do this automatically, or I need previously to revert to the factory-installed state (dfucons revertfactory) and only after to make upgrade?
