    Chapter 6 Firmware Upgrade This chapter provides information on BIOS and CPLD firmware upgrades. The PCIE-7210-1 card has two firmware components that can be upgraded. Skylake-H BIOS  CPLD  The BIOS and CPLD images can be upgraded using the Firmware Command line Utility (FCU) provided with the OS image of Skylake-H CPU.
  • Page 82 Firmware Upgrade For upgrading the BIOS, execute the following command.  /opt/bladeservices/rom/7210-1/bios/ Once the above command is executed, if the result is success, a new BIOS firmware image gets copied to temporary flash location. This should be followed by a reboot operation. After reboot, once the BIOS starts executing, it will program the BIOS image from temporary flash location to the BIOS bank.
  • Page 83: Cpld Firmware Upgrade

    Firmware Upgrade Do not power off or reset the system while above operation is in progress. Doing so, corrupts the BIOS flash and the board never comes up. Once the upgrade operation is successful, the card will go for automatic reset and boots with the upgraded BIOS. CPLD Firmware Upgrade FCU utility can also be used for upgrading the CPLD firmware.
