firmware NIC (Mellanox)

How can we get the firmware version info from the NIC without the risk of bricking it

Hello,

You would use the flint utility which is part of our MFT package.

IE:

PS C:\Users\Administrator> mst status -v

MST devices:


mt4115_pciconf0 bus:dev.fn=81:00.0

mt4115_pciconf0.1 bus:dev.fn=81:00.1

Cable MST devices:


mt4115_pciconf0_cable_0

mt4115_pciconf0_cable_1

PS C:\Users\Administrator> flint -d mt4115_pciconf0 q

You can also use our mlx5cmd.exe utility from our driver:

PS C:\Users\Administrator> Mlx5Cmd.exe -Stat

RDMA GIDs table:

GID[0]:

GID=fe80:0000:0000:0000:7efe:90ff:fe33:68bd

RoCE_version=1.0

vlan=no vlan

GID[1]:

GID=fe80:0000:0000:0000:7efe:90ff:fe33:68bd

RoCE_version=1.0

vlan=0

None of these utilities are disruptive.
