NVIDIA BlueField-3 DPU NIC Firmware Release Notes v32.39.3560 LTS

Known Issues

Internal Ref. Issue
3975383Description: Triggering Live Firmware Patch flow might result in iRISC getting stuck.
Workaround: N/A
Keywords: Live Firmware Patch
Discovered in Version: 32.39.3560

3791361

Description: Modifying emulated devices' virtual queue or MSI-X number to exceed the total number (summation of all emulated devices' virtual queue or MSI-X number) of 4K would cause assert with ext_synd 0x80d8 in dmesg, and some virtual queue not to functional.

Workaround: Set the virtual queue or MSI-X lower than 4K as the total number limitation.

3636631

Description: When configuring BlueField-3 Arm cores as PCIe root-complex, all non-mlx5 devices must always set the BlueField-3’s IOMMU to disabled or passthrough mode. Turning IOMMU “ON” requires special handling of interrupts in the driver or the use of polling. For further assistance, contact NVIDIA support.

Workaround: N/A

Keywords: IOMMU

Discovered in Version: 32.39.2048

Description: When connecting to a High Speed Traffic Generator in 400G speed, the linkup time may takes up to 3 minutes.

Workaround: N/A

Keywords: 400G linkup time

Discovered in Version: 32.38.1002


3534128


Description: External flash access such as flash read using the MFT tools will fail if there is a pending image on the flash.

Workaround: N/A

3534219


Description: On BlueField-3 devices, from DOCA 2.2.0 to 32.37.1306 (or lower), the host crashes when executing partial Arm reset (e.g., Arm reboot; BFB push; mlxfwreset).


Workaround: Before downgrading the firmware, perform:

  • echo 0 > /sys/bus/platform/drivers/mlxbf-bootctl/large_icm
  • Arm reboot

Keywords: BlueField-3; downgrade

Discovered in Version: 32.38.1002


3547022


Description: When unloading the network drivers on an external host, sync1 reset may be still reported as 'supported' although it is not. Thus, initiating the reset flow may result in reset failure after a few minutes.

Workaround: N/A

Keywords: Sync1 reset

Discovered in Version: 32.38.1002


3439438


Description: When connecting to a Spirent switch in 400G speed, the linkup time may takes up to 3 minutes.

Workaround: N/A

Keywords: Spirent, 400G, linkup time

Description: PCIe PML1 is disabled.

Workaround: N/A

Keywords: PCIe PML1

Discovered in Version: 32.38.1002


3525865


Description: Unexpected system behavior might be observed if the driver is loaded while reset is in progress.

Workaround: N/A

Keywords: Sync 1 reset, firmware reset

Discovered in Version: 32.38.1002


3275394


Description: When performing PCIe link secondary-bus-reset, disable/enable or mlxfwreset on AMD based Genoa systems, the device takes longer then expected to link up, due to a PCIe receiver termination misconfiguration.

Workaround: N/A

Keywords: PCIe

Discovered in Version: 32.37.1306

2878841

Description: The firmware rollback fails for the signature retransmit flow if the QPN field is configured in the mkey (as it only allows the given QP to use this Mkey) as the firmware rollback flow relies on an internal QP that uses the mkey.

Workaround: N/A

Keywords: Signature retransmit flow

Discovered in Version: 32.37.1306
