Upgrading FPGA Code Managing Software
1.
Load the FPGA code files onto the TFTP server. Make sure that the RS can reach the server across
the network.
Enter the
system linecard upgrade
command, specifying the IP address of the TFTP server, the full path and
filename of the FPGA code, and the slot number within which the flash RAM card resides.
2.
Use the
system linecard list-images
command to see the FPGA code that has been copied
to the flash RAM card.
3.
Use the
system linecard upgrade
command to upgrade the line card with the FPGA code on
the flash RAM card in
slot0
. Notice that only the filename is specified – the RS knows the correct
path to the FPGA files on the flash RAM card.
As with the previous example, the line card is hot swapped out and then back in as part of the upgrade process.

About to program the module in slot 6.
This will stop any traffic on that module until the
programming is complete and the module is hotswapped.
Are you sure you want to do this [no]? yes
