16 GigaVUE-HC3 Hardware Installation Guide
Dual BIOS Images
The GigaVUE-HC3 has a dual Basic Input/Output System (BIOS). The BIOS image is
packaged with the software image, starting in software version 5.0. The BIOS contents
are stored in flash memory, allowing the BIOS to be upgraded. There are two flash
components, a primary and a secondary.
The following CLI command displays the two flash components and indicates the BIOS
image from which the system booted using asterisks:
(config) show version
...
1st flash version: coreboot-genesis-1.0.4 Wed May 17 03:02:21 UTC 2017 **
2nd flash version: coreboot-genesis-1.0.4 Wed May 17 03:02:21 UTC 2017
SW BIOS version: coreboot-genesis-1.0.3 Thu Oct 6 08:15:33 UTC 2016
...
If there is a component failure in the primary flash, the GigaVUE-HC3 boots from a
backup golden BIOS image in the secondary flash. An SNMP trap can be configured to
be sent when the system has booted from the secondary flash. The trap may indicate
that the primary flash component needs to be serviced. The trap is as follows:
2ndflashboot: Secondary flash boot notification
If a BIOS upgrade is needed for enhancements in future releases, the BIOS can be
manually upgraded from the CLI using the
coreboot install command.
