FPGA combi-image upgrade is not supported on Windows.
Workaround: a) unzip the combi-image to access the two embedded images: tar xvzf 200-8007-22-00-0001-190913-1221.ntimg 200-9521-22-05-00-190908-2314.ntimg 200-9526-22-05-00-190908-2342.ntimg b) upgrade adapter with one image at a time: .. imgctrl -a0 -p --ini <ini> --ntimg 200-9521-22-05-00-190908-2314.ntimg imgctrl -a0 -s --pcirst reboot server imgctrl -a0 -s --confirm .. imgctrl -a0 -p --ini <ini> --ntimg 200-9526-22-05-00-190908-2342.ntimg imgctrl -a0 -s --pcirst reboot server imgctrl -a0 -s --confirm |
3.8.1 | |
| 38869 | Imgctrl does not reject load of 9519 image on NT80E3 although insufficient number of MAC addresses are available and driver as a consequence will not start. | 3.6.0 | |
| 25417 |
No support for FPGA image switch on NT20E2 with AVR-FW v1.0e due to lack of support of the SPI-(v1 0x0085)command FPGA SWITCH NOW, which is needed by imgctrl quick-switch.
Workaround: If the user detects the somehow not so helpful error message: " SPIv1: Opcode 0085 returned error 80. Is the opcode supported by this AVR version? Error: Failed telling SC to quickswitch FAIL. Switching failed. Use --query to examine adapter " the user may switch the FPGA image via the following sequence: (supported from imgctrl v2.1.0.28142) " 1) . /imgctrl -a0 -s --pcirst 2) reboot 3) ./imgctrl -a0 -s --confirm " |
1.7.0 |
