Usage
This example demonstrates how to use the SAMD SDU library to update a
sketch on an Arduino/Genuino Zero, MKRZero or MKR1000 board using an
SD card. It prints out the date and time the sketch was compiled at
to both Serial and Serial1.

Circuit:
* Arduino MKRZero board with SD card
OR
* Arduino/Genuino Zero or MKR1000 board
* SD shield or breakout connected with CS pin of 4
* SD card

Non-Arduino/Genuino Zero, MKRZero or MKR1000 board are NOT supported.

Steps to update sketch via SD card:

1) Upload this sketch or another sketch that includes the SDU library
via #include <SDU.h>

2) Update the sketch as desired. For this example the sketch prints out
the compiled date and time so no updates are needed.

3) In the IDE select: Sketch -> Export compiled Binary

4) Copy the .bin file from the sketch's folder to the SD card and rename
the file to UPDATE.bin. Eject the SD card from your PC.

5) Insert the SD card into the board, shield or breakout and press the
reset button or power cycle the board. The SDU library will then update
the sketch on the board with the contents of UPDATE.bin

/*
Include the SDU library

This will add some code to the sketch before setup() is called
to check if an SD card is present and UPDATE.bin exists on the
SD card.

If UPDATE.bin is present, the file is used to update the sketch
running on the board. After this UPDATE.bin is deleted from the
SD card.
