mstflint - Updating Firmware Using ethtool/devlink and .mfa2 File
mstflint - Updating Firmware Using ethtool/
devlink and .mfa2 File
In order to flash the firmware on the device using ethtool, you need to prepare a .mfa2 firmware file
using the mstarchive tool - seemstarchive – Binary Files Compression Tool. Note that mstarchive
requires installing mstflint with--enable-fw-mgroption.
To perform firmware upgrade using ethtool/devlink, follow the steps below:
Run the mstarchive tool to generate the .mfa2 file (the following example assumes
MFA2 v1.1.1).
# mstarchive -v 1.1.1 --bins-dir <source binaries directory> --out-file /
lib/firmware/<file_name>.mfa2
Obtain the interface name of the adapter for which you wish to update firmware. For
example, you can useifconfig -a.
# ifconfig -a
...
p5p1: flags=4099<UP,BROADCAST,MULTICAST> mtu 1500

...
Burn the firmware using the .mfa2 image with ethtool/devlink.Please use the .mfa2 file
path relative to /lib/firmware.
ethtool command:
# ethtool -f <interface name> <file_name>.mfa2
devlink command:
$ devlink dev flash <dev> file <file_name>.mfa2
Query the adapter to verify that the new firmware version has been loaded following.
