    If you choose an online upgrade and the Internet connection is normal, the system automatically downloads the Kunpeng DevKit software package for the upgrade. You can also manually download the Kunpeng DevKit software package to the local host and upgrade the Kunpeng DevKit in offline mode.

    After obtaining the installation package, verify its integrity and consistency for security purposes. The procedure is as follows:

    1. Download the digital software certificate and software.
    2. Obtain the verification tool and method from the following link:

      Carrier customers: PGP Verify

      Enterprise customers: PGP Verify

    3. Verify the software package integrity by following the procedure described in the OpenPGP Signature Verification Guide obtained in 2.
