AT8901M Software Description
Page 4 - 17 AT8901M User Guide
4.5 Firmware Administration
A running AT8901M system requires – after the bootloader has passed control to the kernel –
the kernel itself, the root file system (initrd), the FASTPATH switching application and a config-
uration file for base and fabric switch. These software components, together with the IPMC im-
age, make up the AT8901M firmware.
The flash holding the software is divided into twelve partitions. There are partitions to store two
bootloader, three kernel and three initrd images. Two partitions are reserved for the bootloader
environments, one partition is used to hold up to nine images of the switching application (de-
pending on the size of the images) and one partition is used to hold up to 99 configuration set-
ting files. The partition scheme of the flash is shown below:
The kernel and initrd partitions labelled with ‘F’ contain factory default images which are known
to work properly on the AT8901M. The factory default images cannot be updated using the CLI
commands described below.
