Upgrade the Media Card firmware
There are two different hardware platforms for the Media Card. Firmware
release 8.x is for the NTVQ01AB/BB Media Card platform Media card
32-port card). Firmware release 6.x is for the NTVQ01AA/BA Media Card
platform (Media Card 8-port card). The firmware releases cannot be used
interchangeably between the two types of cards. However, the upgrade
procedure remains the same for both hardware platforms.

firmware cannot be upgraded unless the 8051 OTP part is changed on the
board. NTVQ01AA cards Release 9 and later can be upgraded as
described in this section. The release label is on the faceplate below the
