This command starts the updated software image copied before. As described above, a corrupted soft-
ware image will be detected and an automatic rollback is performed. The user will always end up in a
shell with either the updated software or the rollback system booted. This allows a fail-safe upgrade of
the AM4904 software.
5. Check availability of valid boot image in image1 using the command
(Ethernet Fabric) #show bootvar

3.7.2 Updating PLD
Note...
PLD (FPGA) updates should be treated very carefully. Please refer to Software
Release Notes about information, whether a PLD update is required at all.
Note...
The new FPGA code will be used after the next power-cycle of the complete
board. This means that the board must be removed and re-inserted from its slot.
