SmartFusion (SMF) had two upgradable parts — Microcontroller subsystem (MSS) and field programmable gate array (FPGA), as
shown in the following illustration. The online upgrade MSS images are in *.bin files. The online upgrade of FPGA image is in a
*.dat file. The external upgrade of both MSS and FPGA is a *.pdb file.

Upgrading SMF MSS
You can upgrade SMF MSS using the following steps.
To find out what region is currently running, use the gmr option.
• If MSS is running in region A, use the region B image to upgrade the MSS.
• If MSS is running in region B, use the region A image to upgrade the MSS.
• If MSS is running in region G, use the region A image to upgrade the MSS.
Upgrade mss A-region when mss is running in G-region:
./smarttool -um /dev/ttyS0 <platform>_SMF_MSS_v1.41_A_region.bin
Upgrade mss B-region when mss is running in A-region:
./smarttool -um /dev/ttyS0 <
platform>_SMF_MSS_v1.41_B_region.bin
