========================
New OS Support:
- Support RHEL8.8/9.2, SLES 15.5

E810
-------------
New features:
- Support NC-SI 1.2 thermal monitoring commands.

Bug fixes:
- IPS: 00833367 - E810-DA2 10/25GbE SFP28 2-Port OCP Ethernet Adapter cannot
enable SRIOV in UEFI

Description:
SRIOV can not be enabled in UEFI

Fix:
Added logic to support on for all PFs

- Resolved an issue were an incorrectly interpreted BDF during MCTP
Endpoint discovery led to sending PLDM events to a non-existing device.

- Resolved an issue where the id field of Event BEJ was changed from the
originating resource Id as the resource number to a deferred binding
resource Id.

- A "Cannot initialize port" failure occurs when running nvmupdate
1.39.32.6 in SLES15SP3, because the tool doesn't support ioctl.

- A SyncE-related transaction between driver and device may cause a PHY
loading failure, during NVM upgrade. Subsequently, PHY errors are
reported to UEFI driver during reboot, resulting in a BIOS hang.

- Resolved an issue where E810-XXV-4T didn't expose one of the On Chip
thermal sensors via PLDM. The sensor was not visible via BMC.

- Resolved an issue where CVL4.1 and CVL4.2 had a problem with Recovery
Clock configuration on port 4, in the case of fully reversed PF<>MAC
mapping. Other configurations were not impacted.

- Resolved an issue where the NC-SI "Reset Channel" (0x05) command was
not reverting the port link state change made by for Real Time
Comprehensive Embedded Management "Network Port Control' (0x34)
command.

- Resolved an issue where, during communication via PLDM Type 6, FW did
not move the operation to the failed state and did not return
INVALID_DATA. Instead, it returned UNSUPPORTED in the case of an
invalid payload.

- Reverted an incorrectly added strict handling of the payload-less action.

- Resolved an issue where the Network Device and Port Metrics are
disabled due to an BMC issue and missing support on BMC side.

- Resolved an issue where in order to change the Forward Error Correction
setting in the UEFI HII the user needs to change the Media detection
setting, save the changes, and then change the FEC setting.

- Previously, promiscuous mode did not see all packets; it only saw those
packets arriving over the wire (that is, not sent from the same
physical function (PF) but a different virtual function (VF).

- Resolved an issue where during the second time of a POST operation,
NetworkAdapter.ResetSettingsToDefault failed with the BMC reporting
"Internal Server Error."

- Resolved an issue when both RMII-based transport (RBT) and Management
Component Transport Protocol (MCTP) were enabled, and PT was enabled on
RBT, then OEM command 0x26 (config LLDP) was being rejected from NC-SI
over MCTP with reason code 0x5081.

- Corrected an issue where updating an NVM image of E810 could result in
a "PHY NVM is not supported in devlink" warning message.

- Previously, E8102CQDA2 adapter showed Linkcap width as x16.

FVL/SGVL
--------
New features:
- Get Link Status AQC response when SFP module is not initialized.

Description:
If the Get Link Status AQC is sent when the SFP module is not
initialized yet, the link can be lost.

When the SFP module is not initialized yet, FW will try again in a
reasonable timeout.

downgrade to a version earlier than FVL9.2

- IPS: 00840914 - [PA_IO Agile-Sprint202310_BDC_Storage_flex]SRIOV
enable/disable both can do SRIOV features

Description:
OS can still create SRIOV VFs when the adapter HII already disables SRIOV
in the BIOS

IPS: 00841528 - [PA_IO Agile-Sprint202310_BDC_Storage_SD530] Intel X722
LOM test SR-IOV function cannot enable VF under ESXi8.0u2 OS

Description:
Open to enter ESXi Host Client-Manage-Hardware-PCI Devices-Select Port
"Intel X722 10GB SFP+" Configure SR-IOV 2.UEFI has set SR-IOV function
3.ESXi8.0u2 Unable to enable VF redhat 9.2 can work well.

Fix:
Correctly set SR-IOV Control Capable bit for Lenovo images,

- IPS: 00839473 - [PA_IO Agile-Sprint202209_BDC_oceancat_Sprint202310]X722
lom WOL fail in SD650.

Description:

Fix:
Enable force link down requests and map channel number in a descending
order. Enable AltRAM implementation then reset corrupted memory block and
recalculate MSI_X VF vectors.

- IPS: 00831248 - XXV710 VPD info question

Description:
lspci -s BUS:Device.Function -vvv command to check VPD info, but it
can't show out the VPD info

Fix:
Enable VPD bit in NVM image

- IPS: 00769725 - [Hakuba] Abnormal cable plug (unplug) event on port 2
and 3 with Intel X710-T4L

Description:
Port2 and port3 of X710-T4L PCIE cannot display event in audit log and
link status/speed in inventory when plug/unplug the cable.

Fix:
There are missing MCTP link status changes as mixed PF no. with port
no. in the MCTP Link Status change handler, and overflowing PLDM queue
with RDE events that were classified as Big Event.

Map Port No. to the corresponding PF and continue, add additional
condition to disable unplanned eventReceiver physical address change.
Disable RDE events in the presence of asynchronous MCTP implementation
without polling for Big Events

Note: it may still occur in loopback mode.

- IPS: 00725539 - Link down on x722 4x10Gb SFP+ PHY card with 27.3 code
level (800039xx)

Description:
After upgrading the FW, all ports are down.

Fix:
Force OCP PnP Autodetection flow after NVM update.

- Resolved an issue where a rare PCI speed degradation with Gen3 to Gen2
was seen during extensive link tests after a reset is caused by a core
reset on an ICX-D platform.

- Resolved an issue where during a write, with http PATCH method
triggered, the LLDP Disable Valid bit was ignored, which resulted in a
skip of write in all scenarios instead of just for the same LLLDP
Enabled value.

- Resolved an issue where if BMC bonding was disabled, NCSI mode was set
to a Manual Switch Mode (depending on the platform), and BMC share port
has changed before doing a power cycle, recovery mode would occur.
Other prerequisites include disabled WOL, disabled LLDP, enabled PXE no
drop, and disabled auto power-on after power loss (in BIOS).

- Fixed an issue where the processing port id was always the same as the
mac address

- Previously, the addition of PCIe re-timers added to the total channel
latency causing replay timer timeout correctable errors.

- Resolved an issue where PLDM type MCTP packets were not accepted due to
missing configuration for PCIe VDM

I350/340/210
------------
New features:
- IPS: 00699338 - Name of I350 interlock in XCC is inconsistent with V1

Description:

resource string". This change applies to 1G Lenovo devices with enabled
AIM support and existing V1 VPD field.

Release: 02/16/2023
===================
E810
-------------
New features:
- Support RHEL8.7/9.1, ESXi 8.0

- OROM update support in Recovery mode

Description:
With this implementation, the NVM host update flow in recovery mode
should be the same as in the operational mode.

- Defines the IID (Instance IDs) field in the NC-SI packet's header,
which is used to match responses to requests and to differentiate
between new and retried commands.

Description:
According to the spec, If the IID of the current command is the same as
the previous command's IID, the command is a "Retried Command" and the
FW shall return the response of previous command (should be done
without re-executing the command). When the IID is different than from
the previous command, the command is executed.

The NC-SI spec is unclear on if the incoming commands IID is compared
to the IID of the previous command received on the same channel,
package or device. This feature defines a transfer to maintaining a
single buffer for the last NC-SI command received on the device per
transmitting interface.

- Add FC-FEC(CL74) support with optical transceiver 25G-SR

- NVMUpdate - only access devices from config file

Description:
The affected component shall only access devices (read/write flash or
registers) listed in config file that match the following criteria:
* if device in config file contains: DEVICE and VENDOR all devices
with specified device ID and vendor ID will be accessed;
* if device in config file contains: DEVICE, VENDOR, SUBDEVICE,
SUBVENDOR all devices with specified 4partID will be accessed,
* if device in config file contains: DEVICE, VENDOR, SUBDEVICE,
SUBVENDOR, REVISION all devices with specified 4partID and
specific revision will be accessed.

Device not listed in config file (do not match the criteria above)
shall be marked as "Update not available' in interactive mode.

- NVMUpdate - OROM update in recovery

Description:
If the device is in recovery mode and has the capability of supporting
for OROM update in recovery mode. it can be updated OROM either from
NVM image or from separate file (FLB).

- RoCEv2 LAG

- FEC auto-detect for CVL LR/SR mode

Description:
Only valid FEC modes will be attempted based on the media and PHY type.

- Enable hardware arbitration

- IPS: 00675913 - FEC Configuration through UEFI HII for 25G CVL adapters

Bug fixes:
- IPS: 00796141 - E810 fails to link with 10/25Gb SFP28 connect to
adapter and 10Gb SFP+ connected

Description:
Connect Lenovo 10/25Gb SFP28 to E810, Lenovo 10Gb SFP+ to switch (CISCO 9K)
Link fails to come up.

Fix:
Change the preserved "LinkDefaultOverrides" fields in the NVM image so
that the settings in the NVM images make the firmware to try all the
FEC modes during the link training.

- IPS: 00736066 - [PA_IO Agile-Sprint202209_BDC_Storage_SR655] E810-DA2
OCP ShareNIC cannot obtain DHCP IP under SR655

Description:
BMC failed getting an IP address on the sharenic port of E810-xxvDA2
OCP via DHCP

Fix:
Use proper packageID SDP settings for SDP0 and SDP1

- IPS: 00735574 - [PA_QUR 22C_BDC_SDV_FW_AMD1P_UEFI][RMK-5883]E810-DA4
OCP Ethernet Adapter cannot obtain DHCP IP

Destination:
E810-DA4 OCP Ethernet Adapter cannot obtain DHCP IP.

Fix:
In implementation, use different variables to identify VSI in different
context.

- Both ports are loosing link randomly after dcb-map change

Destination:
The E810 adapter might experience an adapter-wide reset (all ports)
when the DCBx willing configuration change (in firmware managed mode)
propagated from the switch removes a TC that was RDMA enabled. This
typically occurs when removing a TC associated with UP0 because it's
the default UP that RDMA based it's configuration on. The reset results
in a temporary loss in connectivity as the adapter re-initializes.

Fix:
FW changes along with changes in SW to allow for RDMA to disable
QueueSets before suspending the removed TCs from the scheduler tree.

FVL/SGVL
--------
New features:
- Defines the IID (Instance IDs) field in the NC-SI packet's header,
which is used to match responses to requests and to differentiate
between new and retried commands.

Bug fixes:
- XXV710DA2 adapter intermittently lose link when doing DC power cycle test

Description:
XXV710DA2 adapter intermittently lose link when doing DC power cycle
test, this can be reproduced in about 200 DC cycle.

Fix:
When the FW starts to run, the gearbox has to be initialized and
configuration needs to be downloaded from the NVM and applied. If one
of the operation fails the FW will try again (several times). In this
case the configuration failed with the error which was not covered.
Error handling extended in the code to cover all cases

- Package Port Control command with Port Control equals 0x1 works like
reset if link is already up

Description:
In Campbell Pond, send Package Port Control Command to disable the
port, send command to enable it, then send command to enable it again.
The port is down instead of up.

Fix:
Added link status check in package command.

- Link Status Change AEN event is not send after link down

Description:
Sending AEN Enable command with Link Status Change equals true, then
sending Port Control Command with Port Control field equals 0x0 -
disable. There is no event after link down.

Fix:
Changed event rejection condition to response.

- After running reboot 123 times with qtest, slot4 (X710-T2L) shows an error

Description:

FVL/SGVL
--------
New features:
- SPR PCIe BUS Segmentation with Single MCTP Bus Owner - Platform Errata
Workaround

Description:
ICX/Sapphire Rapids have implemented PCIe BUS Segmentation while using
a single MCTP bus owner across all segments. It is expected that
segmentation will be used on SPR platforms due to the large number of
PCIe lanes. Chipset uses the high 3 bits of the MCTP Destination
Endpoint ID as a segment number to route the MCTP over PCIe VDM packets
to the proper segment. Once the Endpoint has been enumerated, this is
OK since the endpoint will recognize the EID. However, the DMTF
DSP0238 spec defines a NULL destination EID for the Set Endpoint ID
command, and FVL will drop packets that have an unrecognized
destination EID. The Platform team has been requested to submit an
Errata.

Long term requirement may be addressed in the DMTF. Short term to
ensure NIC devices (FVL onwards) can work on SPR the pDCR proposes a
Workaround to accommodate the Platform behavior.

- Prevent PFR Failure caused by Full Switch Table

Description:
PF reset timeout on SW side was too low in case were PF was loaded with
filters. This resulted in PF not able to finish the reset in time and
SW reporting PF reset failed. PF reset fails because the MAC/VLAN table
is full. Add filters to one PF, then PFR to another PF.

- Customer option to replace Powerville with FVL-based Carlsville
Adapters restricted to 1GbT / 100M at a lower price

Bug fixes:
- IPS: 00654228 - XXV710 Ping failure with VXLAN and Duplicate MAC
address across different VNI

Description:
When using VXLAN on XXV710, 2 VMs in different VNI's with the same MAC
address. Ping from VM01 to VM02 failed when the Intel NIC offload
function is enabled, but it did not fail when the Intel NIC offload
function is disabled.

Fix:
Added the filter class type check, configure Rx queue additional MAC
filter for inner MAC of overlay network

- IPS: 00606050 - Swapping x722 2port PHY card with 4 port PHY causes issue

Description:
Swap 2 ports card for 4 ports card. After swap, 4 ports card is not seen.

Fix:
If the PCIe Alt Autoload section does not match the OCP PHY card, the
FW does not update the PCIe Alt Autoload contents when a new OCP card
is found. It results in the default Device ID is used.
Cover the different PHY while the device ID doesn't match.

- FW has dropped the Discovery Notify Response from Bus Owner if Rq Bit
is False but accepts otherwise

Description:
Expected Discovery Notify Request received and response is accepted.
However, response is NOT accepted if Rq Bit in response is cleared.

Fix:
Exception for discovery notify response added

- Thermal sensor update interval miscalculated at initialization

Description:
The thermal sensor update interval is miscalculated when assigning it
to sensor register struct. The value should be multiplied by 10,
instead it is multiplied by 1000

Fix:
Implemented new macro for update interval conversion for all thermal sensors.

- Size of Vendor Revision on QSFP isn't equal to 2 bytes

Description:
This field is used for comparison on QSFP modules. If word contains
some data not equal to zero, then Vendor Revision field comparison with
data from EEPROM will fail. Vendor Revision mask in SFP/QSFP Exception
List section cannot work properly on QSFP modules.

Fix:
Use correct size for QSFP.

- Default PLDM polling time used as minimum sensor period

Description:
Default PLDM polling time was used as minimum polling time when
registering a sensor. It makes it so the highest value is always
assigned to PLDM polling time.

Fix:
Changed conditional assignment to direct assignment for sensorEnt.

- FVL sends MCTP Resolve Endpoint ID command as a datagram

Description:
FVL sends Resolve Endpoint ID commands with the D bit set in the MCTP
header. This is incorrect since a response is expected.

Fix:
Fixed D bit.

- FVL sends unexpected MCTP Resolve Endpoint ID command

Description:
After a reboot and MCTP enumeration, FVL sends an unexpected Resolve
Endpoint ID command.

Fix:
A switch between SMBUS and PCIe implemented

- After set Link Down or Link Up connection dropped event and connection
established event occurs after 40s.

Description:
After set Link Down or Link Up connection dropped event and connection
established event occurs after 40s instead of right after trigger event

Fix:
RDE Events are now independent of PLDM polling.

- FW does not response for Get Endpoint ID command when OOB is bus master

Description:
FW does not response for Get Endpoint ID command when OOB is bus
master, discovery process not completed

Fix:
Remove particular code to prevent reset when Endpoint discovery already
triggered

Description:
Intel X550 card will be missing during JPMT MQT2 AC cycle, could be
reproduced on other SUT with different Intel X550 card.

Fix:
The failure is caused by a hang of the PCIe Gen3 equalization process
in the PCIe PHY on short channels. As a result of this hang, there is
a timeout in the LTSSM of the root port and the link test fails.

Relax the stability criterion for VGA1 such that it will be considered
stable even with the additional jitter.

- 10G speed support during link establishment even if the SFP28 optic
module EEPROM doesn't specify 10G support (specific to Lenovo E810 NVM
images)

Description:
without this feature, E810 with such SFP28 optics will not link up when
the link partner supports 10G only.

- UEFI HII Port Disable feature

Description:
Implement a BIOS setup option (HII) that allows the end users to
configure the LAN to disable the port.

Bug fixes:
- PLDM reports corrupted Plug Thermal sensor thresholds
Description:
To support for reading SFF Thermal sensor thresholds, module thresholds
are used. Some PLDM flows keep using structures allocated for Netlist,
which are invalid in the context of SFF modules/plugs.

DNL always zeros 'fractional' part of the thresholds, Warning and Fatal
thresholds initialized to 0 while only Critical threshold incidentally
gets the correct value.

'Zero' thresholds are reported by PLDM and potentially mislead the BMC
into making fatal decisions:
- Zero Warning - BMC may decide to constantly drive the fan
- Zero Fatal - BMC may decide to shut-down the entire server

Fix:
Properly use thermal sensor parameters output of Link API for case of
SFP thermal sensors

- PLDM FW update fails
Description:
PLDM FW update reports "the image may be invalid"

Fix:
In PLDM Header, Netlist version string have two null characters at the
end. However, one is expected. Changed null symbol filtering inside
netlist version string parsing function. Now FW support any number of
null symbols at the end of string.

- CVL/Link not restored unless Asynchronous Health Status message is cleared
Description:
When an empty cage health status event is triggered, until the message
is cleared the affected port will not link, even after the cage is
filled

Fix:
After the cage is filled, recover the link.

- When sending a get link status command (0x0a) on channels 1 the link
status of channel 2 is reported and vice versa
Description:
When sending a get link status command (0x0a) on channels 1 the link
status of channel 2 is reported and vice versa

Fix:
Do necessary logical port, mac port conversions

- TEMP_WARN, TEMP_CRIT & FAN_ON_AUX signals are not set properly as per
OCP spec for Aspen flat
Description:
The signals of TEMP_WARN, TEMP_CRIT & FAN_ON_AUX are not set as OCP
spec.

Fix:
Polarity is configured by netlist and should be set differently for
FAN_ON_AUX (positive) and TEMP_WARN_N and TEMP_CRIT_N (negative).

Bug fixes:
- Add the hot fix to "boot menu issue" of all FVL8.4 UEFI drivers
IPS: 00632987 Boot menu display abnormal after updating Intel FW.
Description:
Update FW to 1.2992.0. Reboot the SUT and press F12 to boot to the boot
menu, Error occurred. The function of the card is still normal.

Generic UEFI string was used instead of branching string for child
handle.

Fix:
For child handle, branding string is displayed.

- Add the hot fix to the "x710/x722 firmware version string issue"
IPS: 00631440 NVM ID of x722 lom display abnormal under UEFI & XCC
after upgrade the firmware

Description:
Update fw to 1.2992.0-all-0 (OSS:123002), check version under uefi, it
displays "0x80002E63", it should be "80002E63".

Fix:
Remove 0x.

- xxv710-DA2 mdio bus confliction
IPS: 00635602 XXV710 link down when disconnect/reconnect fiber cable
with 10Gb SFP+ optics

Description:
Disconnect the fiber cable from the SFP+ module multiple times can lead
to link down.

Fix:
FVL7.2 added UNVL temperature polling which is indirect action. FVL
firmware is asking UNVL FW that it will "read" the temperature in next
few cycles, and after 460ms it's coming to read UNVL temperature. In
the "polling temperature period" FVL firmware read/write some
information from UNVL through DNL actions which caused UNVL FW stuck.

- x722 NVM images to enable WOL for all ports
IPS: 00514245 x722 NIC port down after excessive reboot

Description:
While rebooting the server many times, ethtool reports no link on port.

Fix:
the workaround is to enable wol on all x722 ports

- x722/x710 NVM images to enable "allow pxe disable"
IPS: 00626858 The system can still boot into PXE server(Legacy mode)
when set "Legacy Boot Protocol" to None.

Description:
In UEFI Setup, Setup Menu - Boot Manager - Boot Modes - System Boot
Mode, set "Legacy Boot Protocol" to None, the system still boots into
PXE mode.

Fix:
enable "allow pxe disable" bit in the NVM image.

- Proton/Value uses a new version map
Description:
* The Identifier of the OCP PHY used and the Super-Feature IDs are
incorrect. This causes the FW not to identify the PHY as one of the
Cortina PHY’s that need to the I2C channel swap. The fix is a FW change
only.
* The bit to enable the “KR Cortina Swap” feature is located in a RO
word. This means that Lenovo FPKs images will not be able to be updated
to enable the feature

Fix:
the nvm image uses a new version map to fix the issue.

- EETrackId is returned in wrong endianess
Description:
Intel OEM NC-SI command reports EETrackId which is in wrong endianess.

Fix:
Swapped bytes in two words of eetrackid

- FW provided contain wrong FW version information
Description:
FW doesn't contain the correct minor version information

Fix:
Changed to correct minor version.

- Link speed conflict error reporting is not accurate
Description:
While setting Phy config and NC-SI Set Link are in different speed, Set
link Parameter Conflict error instead of Set link Speed Conflict error
is reported.

Fix:
Check all combinations to decide the error.
