NOTE:
•
The BootWare program is upgraded together with the Blinux application program. You do not need to
upgrade the BootWare separately. When upgrading the Blinux program, the system checks whether the
running BootWare version is consistent with that in the updating host application program. If
inconsistent, the system asks whether to upgrade the BootWare. If you make no choice within one
second, the system upgrades the BootWare automatically.
•
When the flexible interface platform (FIP) starts, it automatically checks the running BootWare version.
If the current version is inconsistent with the version used on the FIP, the system upgrades the BootWare
automatically.
•
Check the current version of BootWare and application program before upgrade. For the version
configuration information, see the corresponding
Release Notes
.
