There’s a new embedded controller firmware available:

╔══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╗
║ Upgrade Embedded Controller from 0x02004e12 to 0x02004e18?                   ║
╠══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╣
║ This update improves the performance and stability of the Embedded           ║
║ Controller in DGX Spark                                                      ║
║                                                                              ║
║ NVIDIA_DGX_Spark must remain plugged into a power source for the duration    ║
║ of the update to avoid damage.                                               ║
╚══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝

It might help with system stability.

Follow the white rabbit:

or just use the DGX Dashboard.

interesting comparison here:

• 10pm ish to 5am - LoRA training pre-firmware update
• Around 3pm - firmware update
• 5pm - new LoRA training with identical setup

Not new today I assume? I updated last week and I don’t see another update.
