Determination of the inactive firmware bank
The "sys/fw/show" command lists the fw parts stored in the flash. Behind each application
firmware and an Intel® SHDSL chipset firmware, a cross is set in the column "activated", which
marks the active fw bank. The other fw bank is the inactive one to which a fw upload can be
executed.

5.3.5.2
Upload of fw file
With the command "sys/fw/upload/xmodem <fw-bank>" (with fw-bank: app1, app2, soc1, soc2)
for UART and USB access or command "sys/fw/upload/ascii <fw -bank>" for telnet access the
upload is started.
Note: Please provide the firmware file in a location on the PC that can be easily navigated
within 60s.
A line appears, that now within the next 60s the file transfer should be started.
APP#2 firmware update started - please start data transmission with classic XMODEM
protocol (in next 60 sec.).
At this point, the terminal enters a mode in which no text output can be made on the console.
Notes do not take place.
If no action is taken via the interface, the upload process stops.
Data receive timeout - APP#2 firmware update process disabled.
APP#2 firmware update failed.
/ #>
On the other hand, if the transmission starts after the 60s have elapsed, e.g. if the file selection
took too long, the upload process timed out on the board, but the terminal continues the action
undisturbed. It can happen that the start of the file transfer leads to a series of error outputs.
In this case, the upload of the firmware file can be repeated.
After successful file transfer (may take several minutes), the output is made:
APP#2 firmware update successful finished.
