Updating an Intel X710-DA2 to the latest version (9.30) does not work and fails with the following output:
I also tried it with Windows but that also failed with the same error. Rerunning an older fw package (e.g. v9.10 - note v9.20 also fails) works.
We already discussed it here => X710-DA2 Update not working - Unsupported OROM Combo Image - Intel Community
A user (with the same problem) over there found a "workaround" for updating the firmware but with the downside of losing some functions.
Also as written there. Something seems wrong with the BootIMG.FLB / OROM Image. On the same system, I can rerun the v9.10 update package without a problem, so it somehow must be a problem with the newer firmware package.
The BootIMG.FLB file in the old update package v9.10 is also substantially larger 1 683 014 bytes vs 1 379 463 bytes. I guess something is missing there. Quickly analyzing those files in a text editor also shows something is clearly missing in the new version.
Also for comparison:
v9.01 BootIMG.FLB = 1 683 014 bytes - update works
v9.10 BootIMG.FLB = 1 683 014 bytes - update works
v9.20 BootIMG.FLB = 1 310 096 bytes - update does not work
v9.30 BootIMG.FLB = 1 379 463 bytes - update does not work
Thanks!
