Firmware Download API for NVMe Devices(example source code)

[HOrib]

Does anyone know where I can find an example source code to use Firmware Download API for NVMe SSD?

I am trying to implement a firmware dowload by referring to a document called "Intel® Rapid Storage Technology Private API Support: NVMe* Pass-through API, Firmware Download API and AER API" but having a hard time makeing it work.

I would appreciate any comments or suggestions.
