must be performed in the order specified above (1. Root File System, 2. Linux Kernel, 3. Boot
Loader, and 4. Configuration Partition).
Warning: Failure to upgrade the firmware components in the proper order can
cause the AVN422HD to become non-operational and require that it
be reprogrammed by VSI at customer’s expense.
However, only out-of-date components need to be updated. For example, if both the Root File
System and the Boot Loader components are out-of-date, update the Root File System
component first and the Boot Loader second. The Linux Kernel, which is not out-of-date in this
example, would not need to be updated. If it did, update it after the Root File System and before
the Boot Loader.
