Managing Software Upgrading FPGA Code
3.
After the FPGA upgrade process completes, the line card starts passing traffic.
Notice in the example above that the hot swapping out and in occurs as part of the upgrade process – and does not have
to be performed after the upgrade.
5.5.2 Upgrading FPGA Code from a Flash RAM Card
FPGA code can be downloaded directly from a flash RAM card residing within one of the Control Module’s RAM
card slots. Upgrading a line card’s FPGA code from a flash RAM card may be desirable if, for instance, your upgrade
involves a large number of RS switch routers. In such a case, the flash RAM card can be moved from RS to RS.
In this example, the FPGA code is downloaded from a network TFTP server and copied directly to the flash RAM card
in
slot0
of the active Control Module. Once copied to the flash RAM card, the upgrade is performed using the image
on the flash RAM card in
slot0
