<b>Subject:</b> [Starlingx-discuss] Question on N3000 firmware image upgrade<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>

<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Hi - I'm looking at N3000 (Vistacreek) FPGA image management procedures supported by StarlingX as described in this link:
<a href="https://docs.starlingx.io/configuration/intel_n3000_fpga.html">https://docs.starlingx.io/configuration/intel_n3000_fpga.html</a>. I have a couple of questions:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<ol style="margin-top:0in" start="1" type="1">
<li class="MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:0in;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo3">We usually run scripts to upgrade the FPGA in VC card. There are two binary images - one for BMC, and another the actual FPGA user image:<o:p></o:p></li></ol>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:1.0in">bmc_fw_vista_rot_revd_19ww46.5_signed.bin<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:1.0in">sr_vista_rot_2x2x25g_19ww43.6_unsigned.bin<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:1.0in"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent:.5in">The upgrade scripts work on these two images to upgrade the BMC firmware, and the FPGA image.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<ol style="margin-top:0in" start="2" type="1">
<li class="MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:0in;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo3">In the StarlingX image management procedure, there are commands given to upload the device image, Assign a device label to the device, Apply the device image on one or all supported
devices. The question I have is: Can we separately repeat these steps for both images mentioned in point "1" (sr_vista image..., and bmc_fw image..)?<o:p></o:p></li></ol>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><i>[Bart] No. The starlingx procedure only supports updating the user image.</i></b><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<ol style="margin-top:0in" start="3" type="1">
<li class="MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:0in;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo3">There is a statement in
<a href="https://docs.starlingx.io/configuration/intel_n3000_fpga.html">https://docs.starlingx.io/configuration/intel_n3000_fpga.html</a>, which says - "<i>The Intel FPGA PAC N3000 as shipped from the factory is expected to have production BMC and factory images.
The following procedure describes how to update the user image on a host</i>."<o:p></o:p></li></ol>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent:.5in">Does this mean that StarlingX does not support BMC image update of N3000?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><i>[Bart] Correct</i></b><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Thanks,<o:p></o:p></p>
