Group-based Firmware Download Execution

A single firmware download execution starts with the smallest group number performing the firmware download simultaneously on all devices prepared in the group and continue processing each group sequentially up through the largest group number. The group numbers need not be contiguously defined.

The prepared list remains until the entire group-based firmware download execution is completed and the firmware is committed or restored.

The following diagrams show an example of the group-based firmware download execution when prepared using the fabric-based auto-generated prepared list.
