Updating IPMC Firmware
The following subsections describe step-by-step procedures for updating the IPMC boot
block and IPMC operational code.
IPMC firmware updates are divided into two phases:
The procedure for updating the boot block is in the following section,
Boot
The procedures for updating the operational code are located in
Section
Updating IPMC Boot Block
It is recommended that the IPMC Boot Block update is done on a computer using a
COM port. It is possible to update the boot block from a computer with a USB to serial
adapter, but some USB to serial adapters have found to be less reliable and using this
USB to serial adapter may cause some intermittent communication or timeout errors
when doing the update.
All other DIP switches should be in the OFF state.

1. Update the IPMC firmware using the staged firmware update mode. Refer to
2. On the MPCBL0050 board, change the DIP switch positions as follows:
3. Reinsert the blade into the chassis.
4. Connect a serial cable to the front panel serial port.
5. Start the Renesas* Flash Development Toolkit. The program to download is the
6. Create a new project workspace named “MPCBL0050BootBlock”. See

Once the boot block is updated, the IPMC operational code is erased and the next
time the board boots, the IPMC operational code that is in the rollback area will be
automatically copied to the IPMC and the board will boot.
