Hi - I am also interested in knowing the answer to this. 

Basically, when we burn the image to the flash, does voyage.update do any changes to image or does it just to a copy.
If it just does a copy, then the above method would work - however, if it does some changes before or after copying, then
the above method would need some changes.
