Extreme CPU usage of HAL process : Upgrading the bootROM on Summit x440G2 ?

[Dani_tH]

Hi,

Some of our X440G2 switches show high temperatures (around 90°C)

Fans seem to work. So when looking at CPU usage, I’ve noticed the HAL process has a max usage of 99,9% and a constant 20%.

After reading this article  I was wondering if the bootROM on the device should get an upgrade.

Currently, IMG version is  22.7.1-2, bootROM is 1.0.1.8

Is it good practice to do the upgrade? Where can I obtain the file?
Maybe there are other ways I should try prior to upgrading?

Thanks!

Daniël

Hi Nikolay,

Thanks for the reply.

I’ve seen the article you mentioned. It’s because of this advice to “only upgrade BootROM when instructed by GTAC” that I started the topic here. If 1.0.1.8 is already the latest I have my answer, thx 🙂

If you have any suggestions regarding the problem with HAL process..?

Kind regards,

Daniël
