How to recover XL710 corrupted firmware

LShen5 — Wed, 06 Sep 2017 04:13:30 GMT

The Linux driver fails to bring up XL710. Seems that fimware is corrupted. So I tried lanconf64e and nvmupdate64e to recover it, while both of them failed.

Anyone can help me? Thanks in advance.

[root@cccserverhp ~]# dmesg | grep i40e

Hi Tesr,

Thank you for posting at Wired Communities. Please provide below information:

1) What is the original firmware on this XL710 NIC?

2) Can you provide the serial number of the NIC? Please look for the serial number on the physical network adapter with a white sticker .

The format of the network adapter is 15 alphanumeric + 6 alphanumeric + 6-3 digits

Thanks,

sharon

1. This is from the other board:

[root@localhost ~]# ethtool -i ens1f0

driver: i40e

version: 1.5.10-k

firmware-version: 4.26 0x800014ac 0.0.0

expansion-rom-version:

bus-info: 0000:01:00.0

supports-statistics: yes

supports-test: yes

supports-eeprom-access: yes

supports-register-dump: yes

supports-priv-flags: yes

2. It is a custom build board, and X710 controller/chip is welded on it, so no NIC serial number.

Ethernet Controller; X710-BM2, Fortville B1, PCIe 3.0, 4x10GbE, KR, KX4, 4x1GbE, KX, Top=0/55 C, BGA576, dual ports

Thanks.

Hi Tesr,

Thank you for the information. I can see the original version is 4.26, please try upgrading the firmware from version 4.26 to 4.53 first, then to 5.05 then to latest 6.01.

Feel free to update me.

Thanks,

Hi,

Thank you.

But I tried nvmupdate64e 5.05 and 6.01, both of them failed. Do you think nvmupdate64e 4.53 will work?

Hi Tesr,

Just to double check if you are upgrading by the following sequence:

1) Upgrade to fw 4.53 first

2) Then from 4.53 to 5.05

3) Then from 5.05 to 6.01

Thanks,

Hi Sharon,

I downloaded NVMUpdatePackage 4.53, and tested it, while it still failed with the same result.

Hi Tesr,

Apologize for the inconvenience, please try upgrading to version 4.42 first.

Hi,

The upgrade to 4.42 failed as well. It is still corrupted.

Hi Tesr,

Thank you for the update. As this is onboard NIC, can you check with the board vendor, possible you need to have customized version to run this firmware instead. Thank you.

Sharon

Hi Tesr,

Please feel free to update me if you have contacted the board vendor and what is the update?

Thanks,

Hi Tesr,

As this is Ethernet controller on customized board, please check internally within your company who has the tool to access the Ethernet controller to check. Please submit your inquiry to embedded support group for them to better assist you.

Hope this helps.

Hi,

In one of our customer machine, the ethernet adapters are not

detected during the bootup, i see the below error message, which looks similar to

the issue posted in this forum.

Below are the network confiugration

-----------------------------------

eth1 connected to Juniper SW(EX4550) dcbx protocol enabled.

i40e version : 2.1.14-k

nvm version : 5.05

As you suggested updating to 6.01 fixes the issue,

We are unable to reproduce this issue so far, is there any way or specific settings where i can

recreate this issue ?

2.do we have any release notes mentioned the issue fixed in 6.01 ?

Thanks..
