pld
Required Command-Line Mode = Configure
Use the pld command to perform an upgrade of programmable logic devices (PLDs) such as field programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) on GigaVUE-HC3 nodes. The following components have an FPGA:
| • | PRT-HC3-X24 module |
| • | PRT-HC3-C08Q08 module |
| • | PRT-HC3-C16 module |
| • | SMT-HC3-C05 module |
| • | BPS-HC3-C25F2G module |
| • | BPS-HC3-Q35C2G module |
| • | BPS-HC3-C35C2G module |
| • | control card (also referred to as the main board) |
FPGA images are bundled with the software image and upgraded with the software image upgrade, however, the pld command provides the ability to upgrade each FPGA individually. Refer to image for information on downloading the software image using the image fetch command.
After a PLD upgrade, the node must be hard reloaded. This is also known as a hard power recycle.
Issue the show pld command to display the PLDs that need to be upgraded, then only upgrade those.
The pld command has the following syntax:
pld
upgrade slot <slot ID>
The following table describes the arguments for the pld command:
|

Description |
|
upgrade slot <slot ID> |
Upgrades the PLD image in the specified slot. For example: (config) # pld upgrade slot 2 To upgrade the PLD image on the control card: (config) # pld upgrade slot cc1 |
