HPM.1 Firmware Upgrade Tool

The primary update mechanism for the ATCA-8330 blades is the FCU tool, which is delivered
with the BBS package for the board. For more information about firmware update, refer BBS
Manual
.

7.3.5

Manual Rollback

To be able to switch from an active component to its rollback version, the HPM1 command
Initiate Manual Rollback is enhanced with a 2 request data argument to enable users to select
the component which should be rollbacked. This is done to overcome a limitation in the HPM1
specification. Using this command extension, component rollback can be initiated always
without previous firmware upgrades.

7.3.6

Retrieving Versioning Information

Retrieving the actual and backup version of the components is possible without switching
payload firmware boot banks (Artesyn Embedded Technologies - Embedded Computing
strongly recommends to use fcu for embedded firmware upgrades). The following terminal
output illustrates the component versions as an example:
