Firmware Update

The command "firmware" can be used to show the versions of various components (u-boot,
IPMI, …) and to upgrade some of them.

The show command displays version information

The update commands requires a valid firmware image in memory. It supports the
following components:

U-boot for P4080.
The tool always programs the standby image and, after successful update, activates it
to be used at the next reboot.
It also activates the failsafe logic. It is in the responsibility of the end-user to deactivate
the failsafe logic once he considers the boot sequence successful. The failsafe logic can
be deactivated

BIOS for the Intel CPU (GPP)
The tool always programs the standby BIOS image. For doing so the GPP must be held
in reset ("rdc set gpp" command).

Programming a firmware image requires that the image is present as ".fri" file. The firmware
update command will verify that the contents of the fri file are suitable to be programmed into
the selected device (e.g. it is not possible to program an u-boot image into the GPP flash).

6.2.1.6

FPGA/Logic Operations

The "fpga" command can be used to access FPGA registers (glue, CPLD, DSP FPGAs) and to
update the FPGA bitstreams (except the CPLD).
