There is release notes stating that it’s for the specific ap images that are not part of the main image. On the download, it shows you what AP’s the file is need for.

How to upgrade the AP bundle image, should I download both, main image and ap bundle at a time and reload the controller or should I need to do one by one. For AP bundle should I select code or image

It's a seperate image and you would select code.

Click Download to download the software to the Cisco WLC.

A message indicating the status of the download is displayed.

Note

For Cisco 2504 WLC, Cisco 5508 WLC, and Cisco WiSM2, the Cisco WLC software image is split into two images: the Base Install image and the Supplementary AP Bundle image. Therefore, in order to upgrade, repeat Step 2 through Step 14 to complete the installation of both the Base Install image and the Supplementary AP Bundle image.

Download the Supplementary AP Bundle image only if you are using any of these APs: AP802, AP803, Cisco Aironet 1530 Series AP, Cisco Aironet 1550 Series AP (with 128-MB memory), Cisco Aironet 1570 Series APs, Cisco Aironet 1600 Series APs, or all of these APs.

Note

Ensure that you choose the File Type as Code for both the images.
