Release Date Schroff Version PPS version
August 27, 2009 Revision 51, Build 5113 V1.5.1
Introduction:
The firmware package “63998-10151.zip” contains firmware release Revision 51; build 5113 for the ISAP-
II. This IPMC firmware is based on PPS V1.5.1 BMR-AVR-ATCA IPMC firmware and customized for the
Schroff ISAP-II.
Important Notice:
The ISAP-II IPMC firmware is comprised of two parts, the bootloader and the application.
There is a bug in the V1.4.5 bootloader that was used in older firmware versions that can
prevent the firmware upgrade from completing when using shelf managers that are not
based on PPS firmware. The bootloader is not upgraded during the firmware upgrade
process. Currently, the only way to upgrade the V1.4.5 bootloader is to use an Atmel
JTAG ICE tool.
