The executable software consists of the following binary files:
• The diagnostics image file is named frediag.exe. To upgrade with a new
diagnostics image, transfer the new frediag.exe file to the file system, issue the
readexe command to validate it, and issue the prom -w command to load
(write) it onto the diagnostics PROM. The diagnostics PROM device supplies
the FRE processor module with diagnostic instructions during a cold start.
If you want to verify that the image resident on the diagnostics PROM
matches the frediag.exe file, use the
prom -v command.
• The bootstrap image file is named freboot.exe. To upgrade with a new
bootstrap image, transfer the new freboot.exe file to the file system, issue the
readexe command to validate it, and issue the prom -w command to load
(write) it onto the bootstrap PROM. The bootstrap PROM supplies the FRE
module with bootstrap instructions during a cold start.
If you want to verify that the image resident on the bootstrap PROM matches
the freboot.exe file, use the
prom -v command.
