Purpose:

Release NVM update package for SKY-721E3 with X710 NVM  from Ver. V9.00 to V9.30

Target Audience:

Improve throughput on  SKY-721E3

Prerequisites:

1. Download the required Firmware Package from Advantech Support

2. Linux based prefer

3.  i40e driver up to newer than 2.15.9

Step:

  1. Download x710.tgz from attachment & unzip 

# tar -zxvf x710.tgz
x710/
x710/FVL_Adapter_VPD_MAP.txt
x710/BootIMG.FLB
x710/update.xml
x710/nvmupdate64e
x710/nvmupdate.cfg
x710/721e3_x710_vpd_v9_3_1.bin

 

  2. Check the X710 NVM version currently

# lshw -c network -businfo
Bus info Device Class Description

  3. Edit nvmupdate. cfg

     EEPID - ETrack ID of NVM  Image  with which to update

     REPLACES - ETrack ID of  NVM Image with which to replace. Multiple ETrack IDs can                           be entered, separated by spaces.

CURRENT FAMILY: 1.0.0
CONFIG VERSION: 1.14.0

BEGIN DEVICE
DEVICENAME: X710
VENDOR: 8086
DEVICE: 15FF
NVM IMAGE: 721e3_x710_vpd_v9_3_1.bin (It must have at the same folder)
EEPID: 8000e615 (The ID after upgrade to NVM 9.3)
REPLACES: 8000c918 (NVM 9.0, refer to output of ethtool command)
OROM IMAGE: BootIMG.FLB
EEPROM MAP: FVL_Adapter_VPD_MAP.txt (VPD infomation, it must have at the same foler)
RESET TYPE: REBOOT
END DEVICE

      

  4. Check the VPD (Vital Product Data) version with Read-Only  from FVL_Adapter_VPD_MAP.txt

EEPROM MAP FILE VERSION: 1.0.0

BEGIN OVERWRITE
      BEGIN VPD
              ALL
              BEGIN READ
                      MN: 13FE
                      V0: N230
                      V1: V9.3
                      V2: V9.3.1
              END READ
      END VPD
END OVERWRITE

   

  5. Modify the nvmupdate64e permission mode and execute the command to upgrade        the firmware  in the  same folder

# ./nvmupdate64e -u -l -o update.xml -b -c nvmupdate.cfg

     

  6.  Recheck the NVM version by "ethtool -i" command

# lshw -c network -businfo

   7. Check the output of  "lspci   -s 81:00.0 -vvv" & "lspci   -s 81:00. 1 -vvv"

# lspci -s 81:00.0 -vvv
