Firmware Upgrade
10.1 HPM.1 Firmware Upgrade
10.1.1 Overview
The primary update mechanism for the ATCA-7370 blades is the FCU tool which is delivered
with the BBS package for the board. However, the ATCA-7370 board family also supports
upgrade of the firmware with the HPM.1 specification. Upgradable components of the board
include the BIOS flash, FPGA flash, and IPMC flash. For update, it is recommended to use the
Pigeon Point System modified Ipmitool.
10.1.2 Installing the ipmitool
Refer Installing the ipmitool on page 177 , for installing the ipmitool procedure.
10.1.2.1 Update Procedure
The Ipmitool HPM update requires two steps for an update:
1. Upgrade the component.
Example: ipmitool hpm upgrade
2. Activate the component.
Example: ipmitool hpm activate
Both steps can also be integrated into one command.

10.1.3 Interface
The HPM.1 upgrade supports three different interfaces for upgrading the firmware. These are
KCS, IPMB-0, and LAN over BASE. The LAN interface is only supported when the payload is
powered on (M4). The BASE Ethernet controller also has to be powered on for this feature.
