Dear support team

I got an ICX6430-C12P, the version is as below

XCAT2>> version

U-Boot 1.1.4 (Apr 24 2014 - 08:26:24) Marvell version: 5.3.4_0026-TINY
BC_PUGIO_H_1.1.4-X6 (Apr 24 2014 - 08:26:31)
CPLD version 0.0.1
PoE Software Version: 0e.0239.01

when I tried to upgrade the uboot with bubt command, it shows below error

XCAT2>> bubt u-boot.bin
Link Status Changed, Re-Negotiation Start

Hi, Chandini

Thanks a lot for your prompt reply.

I tried with the guide, however, it shows below error, there is no such "update_primary" command

is this error due to the old version?

Could you please have a review, thanks.

Hi Team

Ack. Regarding the ICX 6450, the software recovery procedure involves slightly different command steps as outlined in the official documentation.

You can refer to the upgrade guide linked below, specifically pages 37 and 38, for detailed instructions tailored to this model:
