Upgrade Components: What the Firmware File Names Mean
28.2.
What the Firmware File Names Mean
28.2.1. Two Part Version-Naming System
Example
: Firmware component G22_1491.
The first 3 positions indicate the firmware Component ID.
In this case it is a
Main Code
firmware (G22) for the
Intermate1xx
;
it would be G32 for the
Intermate101
.
For more
information on this part of the naming system see
“Overview of
Component Types and File Names” [page 199]
.
28.2.2. Release Level Designations
The first digit after the underscore is the year of the release
(200
1
).
The next two digits give the week number (
49
) and the last is
the release level (build) within the week (
1
).
After testing and documentation are finished, the firmware is
publicly released, so the public release date is often at least a
week later than the week number in the firmware name and the
date displayed in “Status > Code Revisions”.
Sometimes the documentation is finished on the basis of spec-
ifications. Let us take an
example
where the last release was
2021, the second week of January, 2002. A new release is
expected sometime in the middle of March 2002. This release
has a a mixture of features and fixes only some of which need
to be documented in the manual.
When the manual is finished, all we know is that the new fea-
tures will be a part of release “higher than 2021". This is proba-
bly what will be in the manual. Two exceptions can occur:
If we know that the release will happen in week 11, but are not
sure about the build number during the week, you will probably
see a reference to “release level 211x”.
If we thought that the release would be labelled 2111 and then
something unforeseen happened, the manual might refer to
release level 2111, although the release notes go directly from
2021 to 2112 or even higher.
