Software Maintenance Methods

Upgrade BootWare and an application using the XModem protocol through a serial port.

Upgrade an application from a TFTP/FTP server through an Ethernet interface in BootWare.

Upload/download an application and configuration file from a TFTP/FTP server via command
lines.

NOTE:

The BootWare program is upgraded together with the Blinux application program. You do not need to
upgrade the BootWare separately. When upgrading the Blinux program, the system checks whether the
running BootWare version is consistent with that in the updating host application program. If

inconsistent, the system asks whether to upgrade the BootWare. If you make no choice within one

second, the system upgrades the BootWare automatically.

When the flexible interface platform (FIP) starts, it automatically checks the running BootWare version.
If the current version is inconsistent with the version used on the FIP, the system upgrades the BootWare

automatically.

Check the current version of BootWare and application program before upgrade. For the version
configuration information, see the corresponding

Release Notes.
