- NVIDIA® BlueField®-3 Redfish enhancements:
- Included phosphor-logging entry for dumping /dev/rshim/misc messages
- Implemented Redfish-based firmware configuration for switching between BlueField DPU mode and NIC mode for BlueField-3
- Added an OEM API for enabling/disabling BMC RShim, offering more control over this critical component
- Enhanced debuggability for the DPU BMC which includes the ability to store DPU console/serial logs for troubleshooting and analysis
- Deployment of a more restrictive firewall policy to enhance system security
- Added power-capping control capabilities from the DPU BMC, providing greater power management flexibility
- Added an OEM API for key-based authentication
- Incorporated the wget application into the BMC OS
- Enhanced the system with the ability to enable\disable the DPU OOB port using IPMI commands
- Removed DPU BMC SMBus master capabilities
- CEC1736 EC firmware upgrade to version 00.02.0152.0000 – the boot completion timeout for CEC1736 has been increased from 2 minutes to 8 minutes in this version to ensure that the BMC completes its boot process within the allotted time. If the BMC fails to boot within that period, the CEC1736 initiates a reset of the BMC.
NoteThis change may lead to undesired system behavior:
- If a new BMC firmware update is in progress during this period, the CEC1736 reverts to the previous version of the BMC firmware
- If the BMC fails to provide six boot complete indications, the CEC1736 interrupts the BMC boot process, necessitating a full reset cycle to recover the DPU BMC
