UPDATING FIRMWARE
Adapter firmware updates are persistent.
Firmware can be updated by following the steps below:
1. Copy the below code to a Makefile:
KMOD=elxflash
FIRMWS=imagename.ufi:elxflash
.include <bsd.kmod.mk>
2. Replace imagename in above with UFI file name
3. Copy Makefile and UFI file to a directory
4. Execute make & copy generated elxflash.ko to /lib/modules
5. sysctl dev.oce.<if_id>.fw_upgrade=elxflash
6. Reboot the machine
In case of issues with supplied UFI, flashing fails with one of the
following errors.
1. "Invalid BE3 firmware image"
2. "Invalid Cookie. Firmware image corrupted ?"
3. "cmd to write to flash rom failed."
