Simplified Upgrade
6
For instance, when Simplified Upgrade is upgrading the LP FPGA of the interface modules, it
downloads the bundled FPGA file then later attempt to install individual FPGA types to the
applicable interface modules. In the individual FPGA installation, it performs a version check
between the downloaded image and the currently running image.
If both versions are the same, Simplified Upgrade will skip the upgrade for that FPGA type and
proceed to the next FPGA type. In a case where all interface modules are up-to-date, all will be
skipped.
Version Information
This release will address the above mentioned example by introducing version checking at the
beginning. The manifest file will now have a version field for every specified image. For example, a
line in a manifest file for XPP MRJ FPGA image may look something like this,
xppmrj_05600.bin 1.00
xpp8x10_05600i066.bin 6.14
pbif8x10_05600i066.bin 1.30
For every FPGA type in the manifest file that is applicable to the system, its version will be
compared to the image that is currently running. If any of the following conditions is satisfied, it will
start to download the bundled FPGA image and proceed to install the applicable FPGAs
conditionally:
• At least one card is not in UP state.
• At least one FPGA type version does not match.
• Failure to retrieve the running version (due to internal error).
Otherwise, if all the FPGA types match the versions, Simplified Upgrade will skip this step. The
display output will look like this:
Bundled FPGA skipped, same version exists.
Summary Report
The summary report display is modified to indicate that the upgrade was skipped for the image. It
will appear similarly to the example report as follows:
System Upgrade Done.
