EEPROM Upgrade

The "eeprom_upd.sh" file is a shell script to be used in Linux environment for EEPROM
upgrade. It is part of the atca-7350-eeprom-x.y.z-r rpm package. Please ask your local
sales representative for obtaining this package. It enables the user to re-program and upgrade
the essential EEPROM images of ATCA-7350 blades.

The EEPROM image files are part of the distribution. For safety reasons the eeprom_upd.sh
script calculates an md5 check sum of the image and compare it with the factory-calculated
md5 value in .md5. If this file is not available, the user is
prompted to skip the test. If the checksums do not match the user is prompted to continue
without regard to the result of this test or not.

EEPROM Upgrade

Follow the steps below.

1. Boot Linux on ATCA-7350 so that you will get a Linux shell prompt.

2. Update the EEPROM using the upgrade script:

$ ./eeprom_upd.sh [-s] [-d] -i
for displaying "update channel" differences only:
$ ./fw_upd.sh -d -i upch

Please do not attempt this unless you are sure you want to re-program the device.
