Changes and New Features

flint

Detect ConnectX location using straps. If a device is multi ASIC system component, display its geographical address to the user.

Example (for a ASIC platform device):

Geographical Address: ASIC 3

Note that for a device that is not multi ASIC system component, no such data will be displayed.

All

Added the option to enable the user to query the certificate status after burning the DPA cert. This tool will print a list of all the certificates and their metadata.

If the command includes cert uidd, the certificate will be written to the provided file.

Command:

flint -d <device_name> --component_type digital_cacert [--cert_uuid <cert uuid>] query_components [output file]

All

mlxreg

Added the option --overwrite for sending a SET command without sending an initial GET command that fills the unspecified non-index fields.

Example:

mlxreg -d <device_name> --reg_name MNVIA --overwrite --set "writer_id=9"

All

resourceparse/resourcedump

Added the option --out-dir to write each segment into a different file under the supplied directory.

Examples:

• resourcedump dump -d <device_name> -s <segment> --out-dir <output_directory>

• resourceparse -d <dump_file> -p map --out-dir <output_directory>

All

Added the option --hide-segment-header to hide segment header from ADB parse output.

All

General

Implemented new reset flow for PCIe Switch and Connect-X devices to reset the device using HOT reset mechanism.

All

Added the option to allow users to burn the QM3 FW on the BMC server using the Redfish interface.

All

Added support for recovering a device from Zombiefish mode. A device in Zombiefish mode exposes the functional device ID (i.e. it looks like a functional device, though it does not have valid firmware running on it).

To recover a device from Zombiefish mode, run the following flint command:

flint -ocr -d -i -y b
