ICP Flash Utility (IFU)
The IFU is used to:
■
Update
—Updates all the flash components on a controller with
the flash image data from a User Flash Image
(UFI) file.
The IFU updates the controller’s flash by reading UFI files and
writing them to the controller’s flash components.
Note:
The UFI includes the controller’s type, thereby
ensuring that the IFU uses the correct file.
■
Save
—Reads the contents of a controller’s flash components and
saves the data to a UFI file. This allows you to later restore a
controller’s flash to its previous contents should the need arise.
■
Verify
—Reads the contents of a controller’s flash components
and compares it to the contents of the specified UFI file.
■
Version
—Displays version information about a controller’s
flash components.
■
List
—Lists all supported controllers detected in your system.
