5.2.1.2.2 BIOS Upgrade
Query Operation
Using the Query Operation, FCU returns firmware information for a specific device (if used
with -d) or information about all firmware devices.
To find the current BIOS version before upgrading it with a new version, use the following
command:
$ fcu -q
The following screen shows a typical output when the $fcu -q command is executed.
The above screen depicts the following information:
Device #00 represents the CPLD and the firmware version is 00.01.02.
Device #01 represents CPU and the firmware version is 0.0.00000003.
Show Operation
Show Operation does not access any device. It only operates with the firmware image and
it shows the metadata, which is part of the image. Furthermore, it validates the firmware
image to compare the checksum part of the metadata against the checksum of the raw
image. The output of the Show Operation is similar to the output of the Query Operation. A
sample output of the BIOS image is shown below.
