The SNE has two special attributes called Staged Firmware Version and Staged Files. These
attributes support the dual partition format of the device's memory chip. As pictured
below, these fields are usually empty. They are described as follows:
-
Staged Files: lists staged files that are set for activation at a later time. For example, if the code and archive database are set for later activation, this field would read Code, Archive Database. If this attribute is empty, no files are currently staged. Possible values: Code, Archive Database, Security Database, HTTPS Certificates.
-
Staged Firmware Version: indicates the engine firmware version that is staged for later activation. If this field is empty, no firmware files are currently staged. This attribute is in contrast to the Firmware Version attribute, which indicates the engine's firmware version that is currently active.
