Firmware updates are typically delivered as a ZIP archive containing only the firmware images. The con-
tent of the archive with the directory structure must be copied on a data storage device with FAT par-
tition. If the command kBoardConfig AutoUpdate has been enabled, the images are automatically
detected during boot-up and an update of the uEFI BIOS or the IPMI firmware is carried out.

9.5.1 Updating the uEFI BIOS

9.5.1.1 uEFI BIOS Fail-Over Mechanism

The CP6005(X)-SA has two SPI boot flashes programmed with the uEFI BIOS, a standard SPI boot flash
and a recovery SPI boot flash. The basic idea behind that is to always have at least one working uEFI
BIOS flash available regardless if there have been any flashing errors or not.

9.5.1.2 Updating Procedure

The standard SPI boot flash can be updated with the latest uEFI BIOS from the ZIP archive using the
kUpdate -u or the kFlash -p uEFI Shell command. When using the kUpdate command, the directory
structure of ZIP archive must not be altered. The update status is indicated in the log file located in the
directory where the firmware images are stored.
