Request for GOYA HL-100-08 firmware files for Ubuntu 22.04

[Jean-Philippe]

habanalabs: Failed to initialize accel0. Device 0000:01:00.0 is NOT usable!
I have attempted all available options to retrieve the firmware:
  Ubuntu/Debian .deb packages → do not contain Goya firmware
  vault.habana.ai links → all return 404 errors
  HabanaAI GitHub → firmware .itb files have been removed
 I am therefore requesting your help to obtain the required firmware files:
  goya-boot-fit.itb
  goya-fit.itb
Ideally:
  A direct download link (.tar.gz, .deb, .zip, etc.)
  Or an older version of the habanalabs-firmware package (around v1.17.x) 
which still included the Goya firmware
Thank you very much for your assistance.

Hello James,

I tried to access habana.atlassian.net Jira for firmware support, but my account is blocked:

Would it be possible to grant me guest access or to share the firmware files directly outside Jira?

Thank you again for your time and support.
Best regards,
Jean‑Philippe Parent

Hello Jean-Philippe,

I am sorry to inform that the Goya firmware is no longer available for download. The Goya platform was end-of-life more than 2 years ago and there is not an available link for access.

Thanks for your understanding.

Dear @Jean-Philippe  
I hit same wall from the Habana - not sure why they don't want to even share small piece of information.
Below you can find the instruction, however I still stuck to run SynapseAI or any other software to talk to the Goya accellerators.



 Requirements
Ubuntu 22.04 LTS (x86-64) or 20.04
Free PCIe slot (I used a Dell T3600 as a test system)

 Initial Setup
After physically installing the Goya card and booting the system, you may encounter firmware errors due to missing components.
The device uses U-Boot and an embedded Linux environment.
Go to Habana’s APT repository:
 https://lnkd.in/d5d9ugch
Download these packages using wget:
habanalabs-dkms v1.1.1-94
habanalabs-firmware v1.1.1-94
habanalabs-firmware-odm v1.16.0-526
habana-firmware-tools v1.1.1-94
habanalabs-think 1.1.1-94
habanatools 1.1.1-94
Once installed, reboot your system but do not load the drivers yet via modprobe.

 The Fix: Firmware Recovery
In my case, the Goya cards shipped with corrupted firmware, causing the following kernel log errors:
habanalabs_en: module verification failed: signature and/or required key missing - tainting kernel
habanalabs_en: loading driver, version: 1.1.1-0ca2d0bc5
habanalabs: loading driver, version: 1.1.1-0ca2d0bc5
habanalabs 0000:0d:00.0: habanalabs device found [1da3:0001] (rev 1)
habanalabs hl0: BTL version 0b2b7d3f
habanalabs hl0: preboot version 3.0.1
habanalabs hl0: Going to wait for device boot (up to 15s)
habanalabs hl0: boot-fit version 3.0.1
habanalabs hl0: Loading firmware to device, may take some time...
habanalabs hl0: Device reports FIT image is corrupt
habanalabs hl0: failed to initialize CPU
habanalabs hl0: failed to initialize the H/W
habanalabs 0000:0d:00.0: Failed to initialize hl0. Device is NOT usable !

To recover:
1) Switch to root: sudo su
2) Navigate to /usr/sbin/ and run:
hl-fw-loader -r
This re-flashes the firmware (ignore warnings if any).
3) Reboot the system again.
Now, load the drivers in the following order:
sudo modprobe habanalabs_compat
sudo modprobe habanalabs
sudo modprobe habanalabs_cn
sudo modprobe habanalabs_en
sudo modprobe habanalabs_ib
Run hl-smi to verify — and you’re done!
