I downloaded the BFB from the official NVIDIA website and reflashed it using the command below. The process completed without any errors. After a cold reboot, the system still fails to boot up, as shown in the log screenshot below. Could you please advise on what I should do to restore normal operation of the DPU BMC?
I reviewed the console logs again and found the following entries:

Hi,
This seems like an issue on the BMC side.
I suggest to first attempt reseat of the DPU and unplugging and replugging the relevant cabling.
Once done, please try pushing the bfb again with default settings, to see if it works.
If this still doesn’t work, please open a case with Enterprise Support and it will be handled based on the entitlement.
Thanks,
Jonathan.
