KONA Gateway BSP Upgrade Overview

The below table outlines the supported BSP (Board Support Package) upgrade paths for TEKTELIC KONA gateways, based on the current BSP version installed on the gateway and the target BSP version.
 
Before proceeding with an upgrade, please:
  • Identify your gateway model (Micro, Enterprise, Macro, or Mega)
  • Verify the currently installed BSP version
  • Follow the recommended upgrade method listed for your version path
Important Notes:
  • Some upgrades must be performed in stages and cannot skip intermediate BSP versions.
  • Using the incorrect upgrade method or skipping versions may result in gateway instability or failure.
  • Always ensure the gateway has stable power and backhaul connectivity during the upgrade.
  • Back up gateway configuration before starting the upgrade.
Refer to the procedure links below for step-by-step upgrade instructions.
