B. Software Update
The latest firmware versions are available from the Kontron Canada’s FTP site( ftp.kontron.ca/support/
main.html ).
B.1 FPGA and IPMI Firmware upgrade
The FPGA and the IPMI firmware can be updated through the IPMC. They are updated using the HPM.1
Hardware Platform Management IPM Controller Firmware Upgrade specification revision 1.0. Kontron's IPMI
firmware complies to PICMG HPM.1 R1.0. HPM commands are available from any of the IPMC messaging
interfaces. However, using IOL is recommended in order to obtain a reasonable upload time, due to IPMI
firmware image file size.
The images of both components can be packaged in the same HPM image (They can also be separated).
Packaging the images together allows upgrading both components using only one upgrade instruction.
Moreover, it ensures both upgraded components are compatible.
The following table lists the HPM component IDs implemented on the AT8242.
Table B-1:HPM Component IDs
Upgrade can be performed using a HPM upgrade agent such as ipmitool, or using the Web Interface.
B.2 Cavium NPU Firmware upgrade and
recovery instructions
B.2.1 Updating Active Bootloader
