Boot File

Boot files are small, editable XML-formatted files of 1K bytes or less

and contain the following information:

• Update instructions indexed by CBS’ current firmware revision

• Application image filenames

• Application image revision information

Boot files may contain wildcard information to select a group of

target CBS units with similar characteristics. Boot files may

stipulate a firmware upgrade to a newer revision or a downgrade

to an older revision.

The user may wish to modify the boot file to specify a different

location for the firmware image or specify new rules for the update.

The boot file may be modified with any basic text editor. A sample

boot file is shown:

<?xml version="1.0"?>

<?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl"

href="dnbootloadconfig.xsl"?>

<!DOCTYPE rp7730 SYSTEM "dnbootloadconfig.dtd">

</rp7730>

• ImageFilename is the file name of the firmware image to be

used to upgrade the CBSs firmware level.

• ImageVersion is the new firmware revision level.

Note: ImageFilename and ImageVersion versions must match for

successful firmware upgrade as shown in the following example:
