SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0+ + +===================================== +Meta Platforms Host Network Interface +===================================== + +Firmware Versions +----------------- + +fbnic has three components stored on the flash which are provided in one PLDM +image: + +1. fw - The control firmware used to view and modify firmware settings, request + firmware actions, and retrieve firmware counters outside of the data path. + This is the firmware which fbnic_fw.c interacts with. +2. bootloader - The firmware which validate firmware security and control basic + operations including loading and updating the firmware. This is also known + as the cmrt firmware. +3. undi - This is the UEFI driver which is based on the Linux driver. + +fbnic stores two copies of these three components on flash. This allows fbnic +to fall back to an older version of firmware automatically in case firmware +fails to boot. Version information for both is provided as running and stored. +The undi is only provided in stored as it is not actively running once the Linux +driver takes over. + +devlink dev info provides version information for all three components. In +addition to the version the hg commit hash of the build is included as a +separate entry. |
