| Step | Action | Expected Outcome | |------|--------|------------------| | 1 | Verify file integrity ( sha256sum firmware.bin ) against the vendor’s published hash. | Hash must match exactly. | | 2 | Check file size ( ls -l firmware.bin ) against vendor specifications. | Size must match. | | 3 | Confirm hardware revision ( cat /proc/cpuinfo or board label). | Matches firmware release notes. | | 4 | Inspect firmware header ( hexdump -C firmware.bin | head -n 20 ). | Look for known magic bytes (e.g., 48495230 for HIR0). | | 5 | Review bootloader logs (via serial console or dmesg ). | Specific failure reason (e.g., "CRC mismatch"). | | Step | Action | Expected Outcome |
