Does "eventually bombs off" mean to imply the "but nothing happens" noted later?

Although probably the quoted text is directly from the following link, note that there are "trouble shooting" [not sure why that is not "troubleshooting"] instructions included there plus ITDT link where a minimum PTF level is noted in a readme file:

I need to update the firmware on a old 3580 drive. I attempted it
with this but it eventually bombs off:

CALL QTAUPDDV (TAPYY ‘/DIR/XXXXLYT.ro’)
Be sure to include the spaces.

/DIR/ indicates the directory where the firmware image resides.
YY indicates the TAP device number.
XXXX indicates the firmware image version.
Y indicates the drive generation (1 for Ultrium 1, 2 for Ultrium 2)
T indicates connection type (F for fibre channel, S for SCSI)

I can get into the ITDT tool via QSH and come to a screen where you can select and M to do a microcode download, I select it but
nothing happens, any ideas as to how I can get this to work,
thanks.
