IPMC v3 Image Upgrade Issue

1

I have been using the IPMC EDA-03254-V2 for a while now. I just got the V3 and was trying to upload an image. This was the result:

$ ipmitool -I lan -H 192.168.1.34 -U “” -P “” hpm upgrade hpm1all.img force

PICMG HPM.1 Upgrade Agent 1.0.9:

Validating firmware image integrity…OK
Performing preparation stage…
Services may be affected during upgrade. Do you wish to continue? (y/n): y
OK

Performing upgrade stage:
Component ID 2 does not support backup
Firmware upgrade procedure failed

Not sure what this failure mode is. Any ideas? Is this something on my end?

Hi Maxx,

I might flashed v.1.3 of the pigeon point software and I didn’t try to downgrade. I am really sorry for that.
By chance, do you have a raspberry that you could use to flash via JTAG the previous version.

Hi Julian,

Not a problem. I do have a raspberry pi. If you send me the image and let me know which tools I should use, I would greatly appreciate it!!

Hi Maxx,

Sounds good, I will release a note to explain how to flash the IPMC using a raspberry before the end of the week. I will send you the link as soon as I post it.

Best,
Julian

Hi Julian,

Were you able to generate a note for flashing the IPMC? Looking to have this ASAP.

Best,

Hi Maxx,

Sorry, I had to create the RPI image and prepare the how-to.

  1. Download the raspberry image: https://cernbox.cern.ch/index.php/s/9F8db2gZjC5D2qW
  2. Flash it to an SD card (16GB)
  3. Connect the following pins (https://www.raspberrypi-spy.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/Raspberry-Pi-GPIO-Header-with-Photo-702x336.png):
    • TCK: Pin 7
    • TDI: Pin 12
    • TMS: Pin 11
    • TDO: Pin 13
    • Payload_rst_n: to VCC
  4. Execute the “flashipmc” command

Best regards,
Julian
