Were I to design this bootloader from scratch, I would have the device connect to a server with a known IP during boot, check a version, and update if the version is different. I'm not sure how much work that would be, just a thought.

Another benefit is that we could have the bootloader run the check every boot, and the end user application doesn't have to use the EthernetReset server.

The flow we really want is to have a way to check a version number before deciding to download a file and update.
