A reboot is required to complete the update process.

Tool execution completed with the following status: All operations completed successfully.
Press any key to exit.
  1. Wait few minutes for completing the upgrade process, you will find “All operations completed successfully” shown on screen after it completed, and follow the message to exit the utility.  
  2. Power OFF and ON to apply the changes. 
  3. Check NVM version from one of Ethernet device of NMC-2503 (bb3p0 as an example) 
# ethtool -i bb3p0
driver: ice
version: 1.13.7
firmware-version: 4.30 0x8001dd14 1.3429.0
expansion-rom-version:
bus-info: 0000:b3:00.0
supports-statistics: yes
supports-test: yes
supports-eeprom-access: yes
supports-register-dump: yes
supports-priv-flags: yes
  1. Check VPD info from Advantech network device  (Assume device NMC-2503 on bus b3:00.0)
# lspci -s b3:00.0 -vvv |grep -i "Vendor specific"
[V0] Vendor specific: N450
[V1] Vendor specific: V4.30
[V2] Vendor specific: V4.30.01
# lspci -s b3:00.0 -vvv | head -n 4
b3:00.0 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation Ethernet Controller E810-C for SFP (rev 02)
Subsystem: Advantech Co. Ltd Ethernet Controller E810-C for SFP
