5.3 MCH HPM.1 Upgrade with Ipmitool
Although most HPM.1 compliant update tools are supposed to work with the Advan-
tech MCH, we recommend using the free ipmitool, available both in Windows and
Linux versions.
As all field updateable components are realized as HPM.1 compliant components,
the upgrade mechanism is identical for any of them. For example the command for a
FPGA upgrade is the same as that for a FW upgrade
-
the upgrade images them-
selves contain component IDs and compatibility information which will automatically
be verified prior to the download.
Update through RMCP
This is the most convenient update as it just requires a network connection to the
MCMC.
Command Line Syntax:
ipmitool
-
I lan
-
H aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd
-
t 0x82
-
b 0 hpm upgrade filename.img
! -I lan specifies that LAN is used as interface
!
-H aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd MCH’s Shelf Manager IP address
! -t 0x82 bridge request to MCMC
! -b 0 set channel 0 for bridge request
! hpm upgrade ... perform HPM.1 upgrade with filename.img
To activate a previously downloaded component (or multiple components, if applica-
ble), use the following command. It will return an error if no component has been
downloaded before.
Command Line Syntax:
ipmitool -I lan -H aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd -t 0x82 -b 0 hpm activate
Update through serial debug interface
Command Line Syntax:
ipmitool -I serial-terminal -D /dev/ttyUSB0:115200 hpm upgrade filename.img
! -I serial-terminal specifies that serial terminal mode is used as interface
! -D /dev/ttyUSB0 serial port connected to the MCH (note: for Windows use -D
com1:115200)
! hpm upgrade ... perform HPM.1 upgrade with filename.img
To activate a previously downloaded component (or multiple components, if applica-
ble), use the following command. It will return an error if no component has been
downloaded before.
Command Line Syntax:
ipmitool -I serial-terminal -D /dev/ttyUSB0:115200 hpm activate
Note! The serial download requires a modified version of ipmitool, available as
source and binary executable on the Advantech web site.
Note! Update and activation can also be performed by issuing one command,
i.e.:ipmitool -I lan -H aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd -t 0x82 -b 0 hpm upgrade file-
name.img activate
