An error message is displayed (as shown below) when version-34 of FPGA is upgraded to version-37.
This is only for CRS-X linecards. However, when the user upgrades to version-37, from any other lower
version (other than version-34), this failure message is not displayed. Even though we see this failure
message ,FPD upgrade will complete successfully and after a power cycle/reload it will properly reflect
the upgraded version. There is no functionality impact.

Note
The use of the force option when performing a FPD upgrade is not recommended except under explicit
direction from Cisco engineering or TAC.
Note
Before You Begin
•
Before upgrading the FPD, you must install and activate the asr9k-fpd.pie. For information about
performing this task, see the Upgrading and Managing Cisco IOS XR Software module.
•
The FPD upgrade procedure is performed while the card is online. At the end of the procedure the card
must be reloaded before the FPD upgrade is complete. To automatically reload the card, you can use
the hw-module reload command during your next maintenance window. The upgrade procedure is not
complete until the card is reloaded.
•
During the FPD upgrade, you must not do the following:
â—¦
Reload, perform an online insertion and removal (OIR) of a line card (LC), or power down the
chassis. Doing so may cause the node to enter an unusable state.
â—¦
Press Ctrl-C if the console appears to hang without any output. Doing so may abort the upgrade.
•
If you are not sure whether a card requires an FPD upgrade, you can install the card and use the
show hw-module fpd command to determine if the FPD image on the card is compatible with the
currently running Cisco IOS XR software release.
