Firmware Pack for ProLiant

The HPE Firmware Pack for ProLiant (FWPP) provides firmware for various ProLiant system boards, host adapters, nics and other complex logic devices.

Firmware fwpkg packages are flashed via the iLO management controller, specifically using the ilorest/redfish command:

ilorest flashfwpkg file.fwpkg

Alternatively, rpm-packaged firmware (Gen10) is installed on the host and flashed via the "setup" command:

/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/hp-firmware-type-vendor-version/setup

Gen11 is primarily comprised of fwpkg packages, while Gen10 provides both rpm and fwpkg options during the transition period to fwpkg.
