Is it possible to overwrite OEM dell firmware on my connectX-6 with mellanox original one?
Using mlxup how can I do?

./mlxup --query

Device Type: ConnectX6
Part Number: 0CY7GD_01GK7G_Ax
Description: Mellanox ConnectX-6 Single Port VPI HDR QSFP Adapter
PSID: DEL0000000010
PCI Device Name: 0000:82:00.0
Base GUID: b83fd20300ff98e0
Versions: Current Available
FW 20.32.2004 N/A
PXE 3.6.0502 N/A
UEFI 14.25.0018 N/A

Status: No matching image found

Which device I should select on original mellanox firmware? OPN and PSID?
Which command should be used? flint or mlxup and relative options…

Old related reference doesn’t report all specifications about compatible firmware, psid, opn, and -allow_psid_change is not present on mlxup or flint at the moment.

Thank you so much
Matteo

Hi, it is not recommended to try changing the PSID for a card. There are specific configurations to that card assigned in firmware and trying to overwrite to a different PSID could cause your card to become inoperable.

Dell posts it’s own firmware for their OEM branded cards on their website. What version are you trying to upgrade to? Just doing a quick search I found version 20.35.1012. If you are looking for something newer, you can try contacting someone from Dell, or using their support pages.

thanks,
