Upgrade the Bootloader (Oracle Linux)

When you upgrade your firmware, ensure that your bootloader uses the minimum version of 0.036. If it does not, upgrade your bootloader.

The bootloader is part of the patch bundle on My Oracle Support.

1. Use the pflash command to determine which bootloader version you have.

   # pflash -d 06:00.0 q boot
   
   boot loader
   Revision   : 0.036
   Date/time  : 2016-02-10 16:31:34
   
   Image size (bytes)     : 26632
   Flash offset           : 0x003f0000
   Start Addr               0xffff0000
   Flash Exec Load        : 0xffbf97d0
   Exec Base              : 0x001ba000
   Exec Length            : 0x00004de4
   Flash Low Vector Load  : 0xffbfe5b4
   Low Vector Length      : 0x00000250
   #
   

2. If the version is not a minimum of 0.036, use the pflash -d command to upgrade to the new bootloader.

   #pflash -d  dev-id -i bootloader-img file burn boot
   
   

   For example:

   #pflash -d  06:00.0  -i  /lib/firmware/titan-psif-bbimage-0.036.bin burn boot
