Update the BSM firmware on an individual
zero client
Amulet Hotkey T2 PCoIP hosts and zero clients support remote
updates for Board Support Micro-controller (BSM) firmware.
You can update the BSM firmware by downloading a firmware
update package over your network to the target BSM.
Note:
Firmware updates are supported on zero clients running
BSM firmware version 2.0.0 or later.
The are two methods to update BSM firmware depending on
whether you are using Teradici firmware later than 5.2.0 and
also BSM firmware versions later than 1.5.0, or earlier versions.
The most modern method is covered here first:
•
Update the BSM firmware for Teradici firmware version
•
Update the BSM firmware for Teradici firmware versions
7.1
Update the BSM firmware for Teradici
firmware version 5.2.0 and later
To update the BSM firmware (for versions 1.5.0 and later), do
the steps that follow:
1.
Find the current version of the BSM firmware (optional)
;
2.
Get the BSM firmware update file
;
3.
Transfer the firmware package to the target BSM
;
4.
Confirm that the firmware has updated
;
5.
Deactivate the BSM network interface
.
7.1.1
Find the current version of the BSM firmware (optional)
If you want to know the current version of the BSM firmware
before performing an update, do the steps that follow:
1.
Make sure that the zero client is powered on.
2.
Browse to the IP address of the zero client and log on to the
Administrative Web Interface (AWI).
3.
Select
Network
from the
Configuration
tab.
4.
Find the current version of the BSM firmware. This displays
next to
BSM Firmware Version
:
7.1.2
Get the BSM firmware update file
1.
Download the BSM firmware update file for Tera2 zero
clients from Amulet Hotkey. The file name is in this format:
FW-<Part number>_N_N_N-GA.bsm
FW-<Part number>:
is the internal Amulet Hotkey part number
N_N_N:
is the firmware version number.
Example:
The update file for the 0.4.8 firmware on a DXZ4
zero client is:
FW-DXZ4-0010_0_4_8-GA.bsm
2.
Verify the file. The Amulet Hotkey website lists the SHA-256
hash values for the firmware file. After downloading the file, use
your preferred checksum tool to re-generate and verify the hash
values and confirm there were no errors during the download.
You now need to acquire an IP Address for the BSM firmware.
You will use this IP address to transfer the firmware package
to the BSM. In order to acquire an IP address, you temporarily
activate the BSM network interface for the duration of the
update process.
3.
Log on to the Administrative Web Interface (AWI).
(The AWI uses the same IP address as the PCoIP session.)
Important!
It does not matter whether the zero client is
in a session or not. However, the zero client must not be in
standby.
