Importing Firmware Files to the Repository

The firmware package contains the following three files:
• .gz or .tar (mandatory) - the firmware file.
• .md5 (optional) - this is a checksum file that validates the firmware file before importing the file into the SANnav server repository. The check is triggered automatically while importing and an error message displays when the .gz file is not valid.
• .pdf (optional) - release note of the firmware.
