2 The upgrade initiator resends the Firmware Upgrade Start command and the Boot Loader
returns a success reply indicating that an upgrade session has been opened.

success reply.

flash using the Flash Upgrade Write command. The Boot Loader acknowledges each write
by sending a success reply to the upgrade initiator.

erase the slave H8S flash. The Boot Loader writes the cached data to the master H8S flash,
erases the slave H8S flash, and returns a success reply.
6 The upgrade initiator sequentially writes the new slave H8S firmware to the slave H8S flash
using the Flash Upgrade Write command. The Boot Loader acknowledges each write by

upgrade. The Boot Loader writes the remaining cached data to the slave H8S flash and
reboots the IPMC. After reset, the Boot Loader validates the master H8S firmware
checksum and passes control to the IPMC.
