Firmware/Library Upgrades

Configuration files are usable with different firmware and library revisions, i.e. older configuration files will generally work with newer versions of the firmware and library. The exception is when a field from an older configuration file is no longer supported. In such a case, one of the following messages will be displayed:

`field`: name not found


This message indicates that the `field` member of an MPI Config{} structure is either no longer supported or in error.


`field`: `value`: name not found


This message indicates that the `field` member of an MPI Config{} structure is a pointer and the symbolic XMP address `value` is either no longer supported or in error.


In either case the field will be ignored.


If a new field has been added, there is no way for an older configuration file to handle it. Newly added fields will remain at their current value.


To upgrade to a new version of the MPI library and/or XMP firmware while retaining custom configuration, do the following:

  • config -flash get all.cfg
  • install new library and firmware
  • config -flash set all.cfg
