Upgraded MMC and tried upgrade of FPGA of ADQ412 in Slot 12:

First upgraded the MMC firmware via TigerDragon cable to the f/w provided by SP Devices, which supports now HPM f/w upgrade for the FPGA/FLASH. After MMC f/w upgrade, the EEPROM data had to be restored.
Then the FPGA was updated via ipmitool through the MCH via network. The description of the tool is described in a separate entry ("Upgrade via IMPMI and HPM").

The first upgrade attempt failed with the following print out:

gessler@exflutcadev:~/firmware/ADQ_fw_updater$ ipmitool -H exflutca6-mch -P "" -T 0x82 -B 0 -b 7 -t 0x88 hpm upgrade top_adq412.hpm
