I’m using Mellanox Connect X5 gen 3 x16 dual 100G Ethernet ports, network protocol Ethernet model no. (model no. CX516A) where it shows Flash memory while listing the card.
in order to recover the card , correct Firmwre image was being used to burn the image .
But it shows no valid FS4 image present using flint tool.
Downloaded the fw with the below link, version 16.35.1012 ,OPN MCX516A-CDA , PSID MT_0000000013.
