Changes and New Feature
NOTE: This firmware (with a new GPIO configuration) improves long-term ConnectX-7 operation, and it is strongly desired that all customers upgrade to this version (or later).
| Feature/Change | Description |
28.39.1002 | |
| NC-SI Channels | Added support for two passthrough channels on dual-port adapter cards. |
| Expansion ROM | Added a caching mechanism to improved expansion ROM performance and to avoid any slow boot occurrences when loading the expansion ROM driver. |
| Live Migration Support for Image Size above 4GB | Added support for image size above 4GB when performing a live migration by splitting the image to chunks. |
| Crypto Algorithms | Extended the role-based authentication to cover all crypto algorithms. Now the TLS. IPsec. MACsec. GCM, mem2mem, and NISP work when nv_crypto_conf.crypto_policy = CRYPTO_POLICY_FIPS_LEVEL_2, meaning all cryptographic engines can also work in wrapped mode and not only in plaintext mode. |
| DSCP (priority) of ACK Packets | Added the ability to configure the DSCP (priority) of ACK packets using the ROCE_ACCL access register. |
| Monitoring and Notification Mechanism for the Flash Interface | Added internal monitoring and external notification mechanism to detect over access to the flash interface and reduce access to it to avoid exceeding some hardware limitation on that interface. In extreme cases, if this mechanism is not sufficient, the user will be notified. |
| Reserved mkey | Added new support for reserved mkey index range. When enabled, a range of mkey indexes is reserved for mkey by name use. |
