4.5 Firmware Administration
A running CP6930 system requires – after the bootloader has passed control to the kernel – the kernel itself,
the root file system (initrd) and the FASTPATH switching application. These software components make up
the CP6930 firmware.
The board supports two permanent storage devices, one is an on-board integrated 64 MB NOR flash that is
also used as the power-up boot source and contains bootloader as well as operating system and application
data. The other is an onboard NAND flash device with 1GB in size that can be used to hold image data if the
board is operated as a TFTP server for CPU blades in a system.
The onboard NOR flash is logically divided into two banks, where the first bank is used during normal system
operation. The second bank contains an exact copy of the first bank and can be used to restore normal sys-
tem operation in case the first bank contains an invalid boot image. The first bank involves flash partitions
mtd0-4 whereas the second bank is stored in partition mtd5. Partition mtd6 holds the bootloader boot firm-
ware which is stored in one single write-protected flash sector. The partition scheme of the flash is shown
below:
