Firmware Update

The minimum firmware version matching the driver must be loaded before the new driver installed
can load, and the loading is initiated by the post-install phase of the installer.
The current driver can load the new firmware using the loadfw command of cxgbtool that came
with the currently installed driver. Follow the steps mentioned below:
i. If not done already, mount the new disk image cxgb-x.y.z file by double-clicking on it. The
cxgb disk image should mount as a new device and place you in the base directory of the
cxgb device.
ii. Browse to the firmware directory. For example, if the disk image was mounted to /Volumes,
run the following commands to load the appropriate firmware based on Chelsio adapter family:
host:root# cd /Volumes/cxgb-x.y.z/firmware
host:root# sudo cxgbtool cxgbX loadfw <firmware-file>.bin
