Changing the Boot Image
If, for any reason, you want to change to another image from the current one,
if you have access to the Web Manager, you can use the Config
→
Boot
Configuration screen to select the other image, and then use the “Restart”
button on the Mgmt
→
Restart screen to boot the OnBoard from the new
location.
You have two other options if you cannot access the Web Manager:
• Use the
cycli
utility
See “To Boot from an Alternate Image Using cycli” on page 375.
• Boot in U-Boot monitor mode and use the available boot commands
See “To Boot in U-Boot Monitor Mode” on page 377.
