nvmupdate64e on Linux_x64 returns "Error: Config file GFID doesn't match NVM image version"

[ms-fits]

On Ubuntu 20.10 after increase the log-level with:

export NUL_DEBUGLOG=1

export QV_DEBUG_LOG=0xFFFFFFFF

I try the update with:

./nvmupdate64e -a /home/ubuntu/E810/Linux_x64/ -u -l -o update.xml -b -c nvmupdate.cfg

I get the output: (tail -16 nvmupdate_22244.log)

Hello ms-fits,

Thank you for posting in Intel Ethernet Communities. 

For us to further check and investigate the issue, please provide the following details.

1. What is the model of the network card?
2. Is it an onboard or a PCIe network card?
3. Are you designing a board or a system with embedded network card?
4. If you are using a PCIe card, can you provide some photos of the card focusing on the markings on both sides of the card?
5. Can you provide the link of the NVM file update that you are using?

If you have questions, please let us know. In case we do not hear from you, we will make a follow up after 3 workings days. Thank you.
