Why each option
An EPLD upgrade on a Cisco Nexus 9000 Series Switch updates the firmware for field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) and other programmable hardware components.
Dual-homed fabric extenders (FEX) have their own firmware, which is upgraded separately, typically as part of the NX-OS image bundle rather than through an EPLD process on the main switch.
EPLD (Erasable Programmable Logic Device) upgrades are specifically designed to update the microcode or firmware for programmable logic devices, such as Field-Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs), that control various hardware functions of the switch to add features, fix bugs, or improve performance.
