Resetting A Timestamp On Device; Setting A Timestamp On Device; Querying A Timestamp On Device; Important Notes - Nvidia MSTFLINT Manual

• "Current timestamp" represents the current running firmware timestamp. If "N/A" is
visible, then the timestamp entry is invalid (example: first use of the feature or after
resetting the timestamp).
• "Next timestamp" represents the next firmware that is allowed to be burnt on the HCA.
Updating the "Next timestamp" requires an equal or newer timestamp to be provided.

Resetting a Timestamp on Device

To reset the timestamp that was set on the device, run:
# mstflint -d /41:00.0/mt4115_pciconf0 timestamp reset
Resetting the timestamp on device causes invalidation of both "Current timestamp" and
"Next timestamp" fields.

Setting a Timestamp on Device

In case it is not possible to modify the firmware image, it is possible to set the timestamp directly on
the device by specifying the timestamp and firmware version tied to it.
# mstflint -d /41:00.0/mt4115_pciconf0 timestamp set <UTC time> <Firmware
version>

Querying a Timestamp on Device

To view the timestamp that was set on the device, run:
# mstflint -d /41:00.0/mt4115_pciconf0 timestamp query
Current timestamp : N/A. No valid timestamp found
Next timestamp : 2015-12-21T10:58:23Z

Resetting a Timestamp on Device
To reset the timestamp that were set on the device, run:
# mstflint -d 41:00.0
Resetting the timestamp on device causes invalidation of both "Current timestamp" and
"Next timestamp" fields.
