Updating Adapter Firmware - Nvidia ConnectX-7 User Manual

Updating Adapter Firmware

Each adapter card is shipped with the latest version of qualified firmware at the manufacturing
time. However, NVIDIA issues firmware updates occasionally that provide new features and bug
fixes. To check that your card is programmed with the latest available firmware version, download
the mlxup firmware update and query utility. The utility can query for available Mellanox adapters
and indicate which adapters require a firmware update. If the user confirms, mlxup upgrades the
firmware using embedded images. The latest mlxup executable and documentation are available
in mlxup - Update and Query
Firmware Update Example
[server1]# ./mlxup
