Introduction

Files

To upgrade the software on SecBlade cards, you need to upgrade and maintain the

following three categories of files:

• BootWare program file

• Application files

• Configuration files

BootWare program file

The BootWare program file on a SecBlade card is used for booting application files and is

saved on the Flash of the SecBlade card.

The entire BootWare program file contains a basic segment and an extended segment.

• The basic segment is used for the basic initialization of the SecBlade card. After the

basic initialization, the network interfaces and the CF card are still unavailable.

• After the SecBlade card runs the extended segment, the network interfaces and the

CF card are available. The extended segment provides diversified human-computer

interaction (HCI) functions to upgrade the applications and the boot system.

• After the basic segment is booted, the extended segment can be upgraded on the

menu of the basic segment.

Application files

Currently, the application files on a SecBlade card usually refer to the boot files. A boot file

is an application file used to boot the SecBlade card. By default, a SecBlade card defines

three application files for boot.

• Main application file (main file for short): The default name is main.bin and the file type

is M. It is the default application file used for the SecBlade card boot.

• Backup application file (backup file for short): The default file name is backup.bin and

the file type is B. When booting with the main application file fails, the SecBlade card

uses the backup application file to boot.
