ID Customer tracking number Summary Found in version
43470 43465 / 44283 (Sup) imgctrl performs PCIe device scanning within domain "0000" only and doesn't detect devices within other domains, like "10000" as an example. 3.11.0
43258 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
