Black Diamond 8810 EXOS upgrade

[Mykhaylo_Skrypk]

Hello All,

We wish to upgrade our Black Diamond 8810 Core switches from BootROM: 1.0.4.0 IMG: 15.3.1.4 v1531b4 to BootROM: 1.0.4.5 IMG: 15.5.4.2 v1554b2-patch1-5. Is this EXOS code going to be supported after an upgrade and/or do we need to go to a higher revision to maintain support?

Thank you,
Mykhaylo
