Upgrade path for ASA 9.1(7)4?

[praveenmathew27]

I have a device with the below specs. Currently its running "asa917-4-smp-k8.bin"

I am planning on upgrading this to "asa992-9-smp-k8.bin".

Hardware: ASA5525, 8192 MB RAM, CPU Lynnfield 2394 MHz, 1 CPU (4 cores)
ASA: 4096 MB RAM, 1 CPU (1 core)
Internal ATA Compact Flash, 8192MB
BIOS Flash MX25L6445E @ 0xffbb0000, 8192KB

1. According to the link, do I understand that I can directly upgrade , and don't need to go through an interim version? ie, from 9.1(7)4 to 9.9(2)9 ?

2. The flash also has "asasfr-5500x-boot-5.4.0-763.img" , but when I do a " sh ver",  it doesn't show the firepower detail. Is it that the module is not activated?  Can I go ahead with the upgrade while ignoring this part?

Correct go for it. document clearly say you can upgrade.

show module sfr detail

use the above/earlier document to match and corralte for check which is suitable code for SFR with ASA9.9 if you using FMC for SFR or ASDM they give you good understanding with route to take.
