Abstract
An apparatus and method for updating the firmware version in a network node is described. The firmware is divided into a plurality of blobs, each blob having an associated blob version. Each blob version is associated with a firmware version. The method includes receiving notification from a client server network node of an updated version of a first blob and the compatible versions of the remaining blobs. A blob upgrade order is determined from the first blob updated version, the remaining blobs compatible versions, and the remaining blobs current versions. Each blob is upgraded in the blob upgrade order. The client is restarted after each blob upgrade.
