Seems like the download links are broken.

Is there an alternate link?

Lenovo is currently still distributing the ThinkSystem Mellanox Innova-2 SW/FW Bundle.

sha256sum mlnx-lnvgy_utl_nic_in2-18.12_linux_x86-64.tgz
0857eee574159fa3e61aea4d133c74d9236f409e52a0f7ed146bbc32b00765d0  mlnx-lnvgy_utl_nic_in2-18.12_linux_x86-64.tgz

The only notable difference to Innova_2_Flex_Open_18_12.tar.gz is that the Lenovo bundle replaces the ConnectX-5 firmware with their customized fw-ConnectX5-rel-16_24_4020-SN37A48123_Ax-UEFI-14.17.13-FlexBoot-3.5.603.signed.bin.

To use the latest Nvidia/Mellanox firmware, you can currently still download archived versions of ConnectX-5 firmware:

Download firmware 16.26.4012 and then run mlxup 4.15.2 to update to 16.28.2006 and PXE Boot 3.6.0102.

However, the innova2_flex_app included will only work with Kernel v5.8 and MLNX_OFED 5.2 from April 2021. MLNX_OFED has been succeeded by doca-ofed and the latest v3.2.1 supports ConnectX-5. It looks possible to develop FPGA designs without innova2_flex_app.
