Updating GSPI Peripheral Firmware (Not Including CIC)

It is possible to update the firmware running in the peripherals connected to the CPU card via
the Generic Serial Peripheral Interface. Time taken to update a peripheral varies depending on
peripheral type, but it is typically less than one minute per peripheral. With the exception of
the CIC devices, the operation of the peripherals is stopped during this process so are
unavailable to the unit and its applications for the duration of the upgrade process.
B.2.1 Delivery of Updates
The firmware for the GSPI peripherals is held within the EFC file system and so any update of
unit firmware could contain an update to the firmware for one or more types of GSPI
peripheral. Consult the release information for the firmware update for details of the changes
it contains and the actions which should be taken.
The following procedure can be used if at any time it is necessary to compare the version of
the GSPI peripheral firmware held within the EFC file system with that currently running in the
GSPI peripherals.
• Determine the version of firmware running in the GSPI peripherals using the System –
Status – Inventory – Firmware web page. The screen shot below shows one GSPI
peripheral running 667/TZ/32998/000 issue 4.0 and one GSPI peripheral running
667/TZ/45350/000 issue 3.8.
