Hi, I’ve a mellanox flex2 smart nic (bought used) that have no guid and mac set.

I’ve tried to reflash the firmware and setting up mac and guid without success.

If i query the card i see:

flint -d /dev/mst/mt4119_pciconf0 q

Image type: FS4

FW Version: 16.28.2006

FW Release Date: 15.9.2020

Product Version: 16.28.2006

Rom Info: type=UEFI version=14.21.17 cpu=AMD64

type=PXE version=3.6.102 cpu=AMD64

Description: UID GuidsNumber

Base GUID: N/A 12

Base MAC: N/A 12

Image VSD: N/A

Device VSD: N/A

PSID: MT_0000000158

Security Attributes: N/A

I’ have tried this command :

flint -d /dev/mst/mt4119_pciconf0 -uid e41d2d0300xxxxxx -ocr sg guids_num=4 step_size=1

mlxfwreset -d /dev/mst/mt4119_pciconf0 r

Also i’ve tried to edit the image and reflash the card without success. Can i do?

Another question :

How can i check if the board work correctly ? Can be done a test to it? ( nic and fpga)? thanks.
