2390.0. "DEChub 900 & Module Upgrade Options ?" by MEOC02::MCCOY (want peace ? -> work for justice) Mon Jun 19 1995 03:23

    Please could someone summarise which upgrade tool to use when upgrading
    the various frimware versions of DEChub 900 and 90 modules.
    
    From various notes in this conference it would seem there are 3 methods
    of loading available - ncp load, decndu and hubloader.  I only
    occaisionally do hub upgrades and always have to find a machine,
    software, etc, which I then have to transport to the customer site.
                         
    It would appear that for the future hubloader with TFTP is the way to
    go....  However I seem to recall that for some of the early revisions
    of firmware (particularly the dechub 900 MS backplane) tftp is not
    supported, so another technique (NDU?) is needed. 
    
    I imagine the table should contain the following information
    
    Module	Firmware Rev	Protocol	Tool/version/op sys 
    ===============================================================            
    
    If such a table is completed perhaps the moderator would move it to the
    top of the conference.
