Page 58: Firmware Administration
Software Description Firmware Administration A running CP6923 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 the switch. These software components, together with the PM image, make up the CP6923 firmware. -

Page 60: Updating Firmware
A software update of the CP6923 Switch Board is done by performing the following steps: 1. Download initrd image into the appropriate slot of the flash memory. Ensure that the cur- rently active image will not be overwritten. - Page 61 CP6923 Software Description A software release for the CP6923 consists of one software package, that icludes kernel, initrd and application software. The package is a tar archive containing the image itself and a MD5 checksum file for consistency check. The name of the package file is arbitrary but the file names in the archive must not be altered.
