7.1.5 Image files
The system allows for two firmware image files:
• image1, and
• image2
Two firmware images are supported to enable the system to rollback to a
previous firmware version if the upgrade of one fails.
The image names (image1, image2) themselves are symbols that point to
different partitions in the overall file system. A special image name “altimage”
exists which always points to the image that is not running.
The firmware upgrade system always downloads firmware to “altimage”.
