Summary0002649: Kernelupdate may fail using special kernel versions
DescriptionKernelupdate may fail using special kernel versions
Steps To ReproduceChristian,

I do not understand how the partition size would affect this.

Initially, with the partition size set to:

-------------------PARTITION CONFIGURATION--------------
  Current settings:
   Total : 128 MB
   OS-Image: 70 MB
   FFSDISK : 20 MB, Part type: FAT
   SECOND : 38 MB, Part type: EXTENDED

Using the NetDCU-USBLoader utility, I am able to update the xip.bin file without any problem.

For updating from a SD card using the two-step process, if the current WEC 7 image installed is one that I have created, then the KernelUpdate process works without any issue.
But, if the current WEC 7 image is one from the “My F & S” download page (e.g. XIPIMX6_C7E_V150_BETA_150602.bin), then the KernelUpdate process fails with the error mentioned:

Action: Checking size of kernel partition
Result: Platform not supported

I tried changing the partition size as:

-------------------PARTITION CONFIGURATION--------------
  Current settings:
   Total : 128 MB
   OS-Image: 108 MB
   FFSDISK : 20 MB, Part type: FAT
   SECOND : 0 MB, Part type: EXTENDED

With this change, I still observe the same behavior. Updating the xip.bin from NetDCU-USBLoader utility works fine.

When updating from the SD card using the two-step process, if the WEC 7 image on the board is one that I created, then the KernelUpdate process works without any issue.
But, if the board contains a WEC 7 OS image obtained from your download page, then the KernelUpdate process fails with the same error message.

Thanks,
