BF-Bundle Installation and Upgrade

Users have three options for installing or upgrading DOCA on BlueField DPU or SuperNIC:

Make sure to update DOCA on the host side before installing the BF-bundle on the BlueField.

Users can install DOCA on BlueField DPU or SuperNIC by upgrading the full DOCA image on BlueField.

Option 1 – No Pre-defined Password

To install a BFB, use the following command:

            

            
host# sudo bfb-install --rshim rshim<N> --bfb <image_path.bfb>
        

Where:

• <N> – the appropriate RShim device identifier. If you have only one BlueField device, use rshim0.

• <image_path.bfb> – Replace this with the path to the BFB image file.

To list the RShim devices present on your system, run the following command:

            

            
host# ls -la /dev/ | grep rshim
        

Option 2 – Set Pre-defined Password

Ubuntu users can set a unique password for the ubuntu user in the bf.cfg configuration file , which will be applied automatically at the end of the BlueField BFB bundle installation.

To do this, follow these steps:

1. Generate the hashed password:

   Copy

   Copied!

               
   
               
   host# openssl passwd -1
   Password:
   Verifying - Password:
   $1$3B0RIrfX$TlHry93NFUJzg3Nya00rE1
           

2. Add the password hash to the bf.cfg configuration file:

   Copy

   Copied!

               
   
               
   host# echo ubuntu_PASSWORD='$1$3B0RIrfX$TlHry93NFUJzg3Nya00rE1' > bf.cfg
           

3. Use the --config flag to specify the configuration file when running the installation command:

   Copy

   Copied!

               
   
               
   host# sudo bfb-install --rshim rshim<N> --bfb <image_path.bfb> --config bf.cfg
           

   Note

   If --config is not used, then upon first login to the BlueField device, users will be prompted to update the default ubuntu password.

   Note

   Optionally, to upgrade the BlueField integrated BMC firmware using BFB bundle, please provide the current BMC root credentials in a bf.cfg file, as shown in the following:

   Copy

   Copied!

               
   
               
   BMC_PASSWORD="<root password>"
   BMC_USER="root"
   BMC_REBOOT="yes"
           

   Unless previously changed, the default BMC root password is 0penBmc.

6. To configure the tmfifo_net0 interface over IPv4 for SSH access to the BlueField Arm OS:

   Copy

   Copied!

               
   
               
   host# ifconfig tmfifo_net0 192.168.100.1/24
           

   Info

   SSH into the BlueField Arm OS with 192.168.100.2 (preconfigured default):

   Copy

   Copied!

               
   
               
   host# ssh ubuntu@192.168.100.2
           

This procedure allows for upgrading DOCA components on BlueField networking platforms (DPUs or SuperNICs) using standard Linux tools (e.g., apt update and yum update). It leverages native package manager repositories to update components without requiring a full reinstallation.

This process has the following benefits :

• Only updates components that include modifications

• Includes upgrade of:

  • DOCA drivers and libraries

  • DOCA reference applications

  • BSP (UEFI/ATF) upgrade while maintaining the configuration

  • NIC firmware upgrade while maintaining the configuration

  • BMC components upgrade

• Does not:

  • Impact user binaries

  • Upgrade non-Ubuntu OS kernels

• After completion of BlueField upgrade:

  • If NIC firmware was not updated, perform BlueField Arm reset (software reset/reboot BlueField )

  • If NIC firmware was updated, perform firmware reset (mlxfwreset) or perform a graceful shutdown and power cycle

DOCA installer is a utility designed to install and upgrade BFB and BlueField firmware bundle images across multiple DPUs in parallel.

It supports multiple DPU operation modes, including NIC mode, DPU mode, and both modes on the same host. It offers extensive customization through configuration files in INI and YAML formats.

DOCA Installer Running Modes

DOCA installer supports 3 installation running modes:

            

            
host# doca-installer -b <image_path.bfb>
        

            

            
host# doca-installer -b <image_path.bfb> --psid <PSID>
        

            

            
host# doca-installer -b <image_path.bfb> --rshim rshim<N>
        

Where:

• <N> – the appropriate RShim device identifier. If your environment has only one BlueField device, use 0.
• <image_path.bfb> – Replace this with the path to the BFB image file

• <PSID> – the group shared PSID identifier

  Note

  Other cards who do not share this PSID will not be upgraded.

Run DOCA Installer with Configuration File

DOCA installer supports 2 configuration files in the format of either INI or YAML.

Running DOCA installer with configuration file requires providing -c <path-to-config> or --config-file <path-to-config>.

            

            
host# doca-installer -b <image_path.bfb> -c <path-to-config>
        

            

            
host# doca-installer -b <image_path.bfb> --psid <PSID> -c <path-to-config>
        

            

            
host# doca-installer -b <image_path.bfb> --rshim rshim<N> -c <path-to-config>
        

Where:

• <N> – the appropriate RShim device identifier. If your environment has only one BlueField device, use 0.
• <image_path.bfb> – Replace this with the path to the BFB image file

• <PSID> – the group shared PSID identifier

  Note

  Other cards who do not share this PSID will not be upgraded.

• <path-to-config> – Path to configuration file (INI or YAML)

  Note

  The YAML configuration file uses a few key sections to organize settings:

  • global_configs – Defines variables that are common to all devices. Under this key, the variables sub-key is used to specify shared parameters such as BMC_USER and BMC_PASSWORD. These settings apply globally unless overridden by device-specific configurations.

  • rshim – Contains configuration for individual devices. Within the rshim section, each key (e.g., rshim1, rshim2) represents a specific device's configuration.

    Note

    When rshim<N> and global_configs share the same configuration, the script prioritizes rshim<X> settings.

  • variables – Specifies device-specific configuration parameters (e.g., UPDATE_DPU_OS, WITH_NIC_FW_UPDATE) that control the installation and upgrade process for that device

  • methods – Contains commands or steps (often multi-line shell commands) that are executed to customize the device. YAML anchors (e.g., &default_post_install) can be used here to reuse common command blocks across multiple devices.

Important! The script will try to load the new NIC firmware automatically, but in case it will fail to do so, it will notify the user with the following message:
INFO: At least one device requires a host power cycle for new NIC Firmware to be loaded.

Important! In case the script will find that one or more of the devices did not had BMC_REBOOT set to 'yes' as part of the configuration file, it will notify the user with the following message:
WARNING: BMC_REBOOT is not configured for all devices or is not set to 'yes'.
BMC firmware updates will only take effect after a BMC reboot.

Supported DOCA-Host OS for doca-installer

The following OSs on the host machine are supported for doca-installer:

Users wishing to build their own customized BlueField OS image can use the BFB build environment. For more details, refer to the bfb-build project in this GitHub webpage.

To boot a customized BlueField OS image on a UEFI secure-boot-enabled BlueField (the default secure boot setting), the following conditions must be met:

• The OS image must be signed with a key already present in the UEFI DB (e.g., the Microsoft key)

• If the above is not possible, UEFI secure boot must be disabled to allow booting of an unsigned or differently signed image

For detailed instructions on managing UEFI secure boot, refer to the "Secure Boot" page in the BlueField Platform SW Documentation.
