No,
According the Release note of V3.0.1 you must upgrade in two step
using first a mop (VMS or Ultrix) responder..

I had this laying about - the filenames may be wrong but I think that
you can go from V1.x to at least V2.x and maybe higher. You have to
interrupt the DENMA boot sequence and then load a pre-loader
(DENMA_LOAD.SYS) then it will do the MOP stuff.
(I got an agent from Anixter 3 weeks ago that they were using for demos
with V1.0 code....sigh!!!!!! So I fished about for this..)
Enjoy,

INSTALL INSTRUCTIONS FOR DECAGENT 90 V1.1 FIRMWARE:
******************************
* KIT INSTALLATION PROCEDURE *
******************************
1) For VMS:
The saveset can be found at:
quiver::proj$722:[onehub.release.denma.v1_1]denma011.a
Type @SYS$UPDATE:VMSINSTAL to install this kit on any VMS system running
V5.3 or higher.
2) For ULTRIX:
The tar file can be found at:
quiver::proj$722:[onehub.release.denma.v1_1]denma110.tar
Use the following procedure to install the ULTRIX kit:
# cd /usr/kits
# dcp -vi quiver::'proj$722:[onehub.release.denma.v1_1]denma110.tar' denma110.tar
# tar xvf denma110.tar
# setld -d DENMAT110
# setld -l nmamc_output
Postscript versions of the update manuals are posted in the kit directory. For
the impatient, a text version of the procedure follows:
Note that it is possible to forgo the two step load if you are updating from a
version newer than V1.0 (eg field test versions of 1.1). However, depending on
the version you are updating from , the one step load may not always be
successful. If there are any problems, go back to the two step load - it will
always work.
********************************
* IMAGE INSTALLATION PROCEDURE *
********************************
1 Upgrading the DECagent 90 Software Image
This section describes how to configure the host node and
downline load a new software image into a DECagent 90 module.
1.1 Install Image Files
Install the image files onto the load host.
The files will be copied to the proper directory by the
installation procedure. Table 1 lists the files and their
locations for the VMS and ULTRIX operating systems.
File names and Locations
on VMS:
mom$load:denma_load.sys
mom$load:denma011.sys
sys$help:denma011.release_notes
sys$test:denma$ivp.com
on ULTRIX:
/usr/lib/mop/denma_load.sys
/usr/lib/mop/denma110.sys
/usr/lib/mop/denma110.release_notes
1.2 Ensure mop process is running (ULTRIX ONLY)
Verify that the ULTRIX RISC load host is set up to allow
the downline load. The mop_mom proces must be running.
To verify that this is the case, type the following:
ps -ax | grep mop_mom
The mop_mom process should be displayed. If it is not,
type the following:
/etc/mop_mom
1.3 Configure the Load Host
The load host must have its circuit service enabled. Use the
following procedure to enable the circuit service:
1. Enter NCP. To enter NCP, enter the following command:
$ ncp
1
2. Enter the following command to see if the load host is set
up to allow downline loads:
ncp>sho circ qna-0 char
Use the appropriate Ethernet circuit. For example, sva,
bna, qna, and so on.
3. If the service is not enabled, then enter the following
commands to enable the service.
Note
You are turning off the network here! You must
have system privileges.
ncp>set cir qna-0 state off
ncp>set cir qna-0 service enabled
ncp>set cir qna-0 state on
4. Set up a node for the DECagent 90 module. Follow these
steps to set up a node:
a. Enter this command:
ncp>set node x.x name denma
Choose an unused address.
b. Enter this command:
ncp>set node denma hardware address <xx-xx-xx-xx-xx-xx>
To find the DENMA hardware address, enter the following
command at the CCI> prompt on the terminal:
CCI>show server
See section 1.4 for instructions on how to enable CCI.
c. Enter the following commands:
ncp>set node denma service circuit qna-0
on VMS:
ncp>set node denma load file mom$load:denma011.sys
on ULTRIX:
ncp>set node denma load file /usr/lib/mop/denma110.sys

1.4 Download of Image Loader
The downline load of the image loader is initiated via the
terminal that is attached to the front async port on the
DECagent 90 module. CCI must be enabled on the terminal. Use
the following procedure to enable CCI:
1. Connect the terminal to the async port (db25 connector).
2. Set the communication settings:
9600 baud
8 bits
No parity
1 stop bit
3. Power cycle the DECagent 90 module.
The DECagent 90 performs a self-test which lasts
approximately 10 seconds.
4. Before the self-test is complete, press <Ctrl-I>.
The following appears on the terminal:
Digital Equipment Corporation @
DENMA Console Command Interpreter
CCI>
5. At the CCI> prompt, enter this command:
CCI>load denma_load.sys
The following appears on the terminal screen:
Attempting to locate load host
Host AA-00-04..... located
Requesting load from load host
Loading from load host
Image load complete
If the Invalid load image message appears, then there is
an error in the load process. Try loading again.
3
6. Start the image loader as follows:
CCI>start 200000
If the image loader starts properly, the LED closest to
the terminal connector will be flashing.
1.5 Downline Load of the Software Image
The downline load of the software image is performed on the
load host. To load the DECagent 90 with the software image
enter the following command:
ncp>load node denma
If the image load is recognized, all but the first LED on the
DENMA should momentarily go out, then the load will begin.
If this does not occur, try using the NCP TRIGGER command:
ncp>trigger node denma
If the image loads properly, the DENMA will automatically
perform a reset and start the software image.
If a failure occurs during loading, the second LED will flash
indicating the image did not load properly. Retry the load
procedure starting at step 1.3.3.
