Bluefield - 2 Firmware Pre-Initialization Failed

DOCA Version 2.8

After I encountered this error, I first checked the firmware version using
$ sudo bfvcheck
command. It showed that the firmware version do not match with the required firmware version.
So, I updated the firmware and this result showed that all errors are gone with firmware update.

But, when I ran this command,
$ dmesg | grep -i mlx5
It showed the same firmware pre initialization error.

Due to this error, the ports P0 and P1 are not detected in $ ip link show

Anyone who has encountered the same problem or knows what might be the potential reasons for this error, I request you to share the solution/comments with me.

Hi,

I would suggest starting with upgrading MLNX_OFED driver and FW to latest GA/LTS - the version 24.40.1000 is quite old and unsupported already.

Please try upgrading and check if the issue still occurs.

If it does, please open a support case with NVIDIA Enterprise Support.

Thanks,

Jonathan.
