This operation allows you to load new software into the Recovery partition of the ASM. There are a number of reasons why you would want to do this:

...

  1. Insert the flash drive into your PC.
  2. Format the flash drive for the NTFS file system (if you have not done so already). This is necessary due to the large size of the image files.
    To perform this in Windows, do the following:
    1. Browse to Computer and find the flash drive.
    2. Right-click it, and select Format....

    3. Select NTFS from the File system dropdown, and click Start.

  4. Copy ASMimage.tar to the root directory of the USB drive.

Info

In most cases, updating the recovery partition should not require re-initializing the ASM. Updating the recovery partition as part of an upgrade to SBC firmware in order to keep the Application Solution Module (ASM) in step with the current SBC code version does not require re-initializing the ASM. If you do re-initialize to apply the image you just installed, the ASM task restores the ASM to an unconfigured state, and replaces all software and settings with the image in the Recovering partition of the ASM. See Re-initializing the ASM for specific information.
