2) NVMUPDATE tool updated to 1.41.11.4 to support new config version.


This update supports Lenovo ThinkSystem and ThinkAgile products.

Important Note:  If you choose to install the nvmupdate64e utility manually, please ensure that you install
version 1.41.11.4 or newer.

Earlier versions of nvmupdate64e tool may not be not compatible or include all latest supported features.

New features:
  - Enable E700 X722 Tx signal to "always on".

  - Enable E700 to store events details on the NVM in Recovery Mode.When
    entering the Recovery Mode, X710 will store the details of the event in
    the NVM.

Bug fixes:
  - Resolved an issue where POST to the
    NetworkAdapter.ResetSettingsToDefault looked successful from postman,
    but after reboot the adapter's Port 1 LLDP setting did not reset to
    default.

  - Previously, there were cases of Fortville disappearing from the PCIe
    bus during reboot stress testing reported on Icelake-based platforms.
    These platforms performed a PCIe Hot Reset before asserting PERST# as
    part of the warm reboot cycle. PERST# is asserted at approximately the
    end of the Hot Reset, but due mostly to the Fortville LCB
    implementation, there was a variation in the relative timing of about
    65 us, so many edge cases could occur.

  - Previously, after configuring "ifconfig ethX down" command on Marvell
    devices series 88E1512/88E1514, the peer side (loopback configuration)
    was still reporting link up.

  - Fixed an issue. Unexpected EMP Reset occurred in a rarely BMC request
    combination in a very low probability, which may cause: 'tx_timeout' or
    'ARQ: Unknown event 0x0000 ignored' or 'bond down' if bonding is
    configured.

  - IPS: 00879846 - Intel XXV710-DA2 PCIe 25Gb 2-Port SFP28 Adapter link
    speed and status incorrect

    Description:
    Link event is reported only once at when the machine is powered on,
    after that no link event will be generated any more even after the
    network cable is inserted and removed, this is incorrect, link event
    should be reported when we plugin or remove the AOC cable.

    Fix:
    Firmware reported link speed value based on advertised capability value
    using DNL declaration, changes to read link speed from MAC

  - IPS: 00852370 - IEPD Hot Issue: SR645v3 X710 T2L PCIe bandwidth degraded

    Description:
    X710 PCIe may enter x1 on the AMD Genoa platform in reboot and AC
    process.
    Customer updated system firmware XCC: KAX318V >> KAX322V UEFI: KAE112O
    >> KAE116K Following event occurs intermittently, but high fail rate
    PCIe Link Width has degraded from x8 to x1 in physical slot number 3.
    Slot 3 is Intel X710-T2L 10GBASE-T 2-Port PCIe Ethernet Adapter,
    customer had tried new NIC FW, replace NIC but no help. this system no
    re-timer.

    Fix:
    The firmware changes to enter the PCIE detection phase when PERST
    becomes de-asserted


Release net-9.30-6.2-1.3450.0-0 includes the following updates:
===============================================================
New features:
  - Support RHEL8.8/9.2, SLES 15.5

  - 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.

Bug fixes:
  - 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:
    WOL function UEIF page show gray, OS can not enable WOL function

    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


Release net-9.2-6.2-1.3357.0-2 includes the following updates:
==============================================================
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.

    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.


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:
    Used qtest ro run reboot 123 times, xcc web appears: PCIe Correctable
    Error Threshold limit has been exceeded at Segment 0x0000 Bus 0xA8
    Device 0x00 Function 0x01.

    Fix:
    Adjust the replay timer timeout value for different scenarios.

    Description:
    Lenovo required support for specific 4-part ID, additional HII fields
    in "NIC Configuration" menu for I210 AT, remove "Device Level
    Configuration" and "iSCSI Configuration" fields

    Fix:
    Added and removed corresponding fields.

  - IPS: 00729600 - XXV710 Link issues

    Description:
    While DC power cycle, the port maybe lose the link

    Fix:
    When the FW starts to run, retry to configure the Retimer in case of
    error.

Note on Firmware Recovery Mode:

When a device is in Firmware Recovery mode it will not pass traffic or allow any configuration; you can only
attempt to recover the device's firmware. A device will enter Firmware Recovery mode if it detects a problem
that requires the firmware to be reprogrammed.

Resolving Firmware Recovery Mode Issues:

If your device is in Firmware Recovery mode you can restore it to factory defaults using the latest NVM
Update Package. Download the latest NVM Update Package from your vendor's support website and follow
the instructions in it.

*** NOTES:

- Before initiating device recovery, the integrity of the host operating system, device drivers
and firmware utilities must be verified and reinstalled if necessary. Fully functional operating
system, device drivers and tools are required for device recovery.

- AC power cycle your system even if the instructions do not indicate that an AC power cycle is required.
A power cycle is required to enable the device to restore and reload critical device settings to enable recovery.
To perform an AC power cycle, do the following:

a. Shut down the system if it is powered up.
b. Unplug all AC power cords from the system.
c. Leave the AC power cords unplugged for 15 seconds to allow the system power supply to discharge completely.
d. Plug in AC power cords to the system.

- Firmware Recovery Mode Errors and Messages:

When a device is in Firmware Recovery mode, the device drivers and preboot software and utilities may log or
display messages such as the following:

a. Firmware recovery mode detected. Limiting functionality.
Refer to the Intel(R) Ethernet Adapters and Devices User Guide for details on firmware recovery mode.
b. Firmware recovery mode detected. Initialization failed.
c. Firmware recovery mode detected. Limiting functionality.
d. PXE-E0C: Firmware recovery mode detected. Initialization failed.

Intel Networking Adapter/Device Utility



Release: 29.1 08/01/2024
============================
New OS Support:
  - Support RHEL8.9/9.3

E810
-------------
New features:
  - Get SFF Info NC-SI OEM Command

  - Disable FW LLDP agent in and allow LLDP frames to be sent and received
    in the VF.

  - Supports Log of MNG packets for debugging purposes.

  - Supports PLDM Type 4s for FRU data.

  - The E810-CQDA2T adapter now supports 2x2x25 Gbps configuration.

  - Supports reduced PTP jitter by improved timestamp accuracy and Port
    timer compensation.

  - E810-XXVDA4T and E810-CQDA2T now support DPLL updates.

  - Supports shorter DPLL lock time

  - Force FW LOG to uART even if PF Driver disables

  - Option to disable PLDM FRU backup data response when NVM FRU
    manufacturing data is not available


Bug fixes:
  - IPS: 00788617 - [PA_SI Agile 23-1_USI_SDV_Pass 1_HW_SE450] Qtester
    shows "VPD FW check failed (Error)

    Description:
    1. Power on system and boot into WS2022.
    2. Setup Qtester to run 72hrs AC cycle test.
       after AC power on, the BMC software calls PLDM_GetFirmwareParameters
       and it sometimes (may be once after 300 AC power cycles) returns
       Completion Code = 0x01(PLDM Base: Error).

    Fix:
    Firmware now returns PLDM_ERROR_NOT_READY Completion Code instead of
    generic 0x01(PLDM Base: Error) when firmware is not fully ready after
    platform reboot.

  - When plugging DAC cables into two ports at the same time on Clifton
    Channel, it is possible for one port to be unable to establish link.

  - To have the metrics data shown on the respective port, map the port to
    MAC address before accessing counter registers.

  - Resolved an issue where 0x5089 was returned for command
    get_sff_temperature when only port1 had optics of E810.

  - PLDM T2 NumericSensors didn't send async event when any threshold was crossed.

  - NCSI1.2 command Get Transceiver Temperature(0x4A) returned incorrect
    temperatures due to wrong endianness.

  - Module temp thresholds check running too early causes 0 return, which
    is taken as valid and shuts down port.

  - GetSensorReading command returns error code 0x1 in case when plug
    temperature is higher than 78C (0x4E).

  - E810 doesn't support non-contiguous TCs within the LLDP configuration.
    It may result in a hang situation if receiving such LLDP packets during
    power-on stage. A timeout was added to the firmware polling loop to
    trigger a core reset which clears the hang and allows the device to
    continue functioning.

  - E810 4.3 NVMs use a common map, which introduces a change (new entries)
    to an immediate TLV in PFA. FW fails to interpret the new entries in
    this specific TLV, which results in adding those new entries again and
    again upon every update from the former 4.3 image to 4.3 and above.
    Eventually, due to the lack of space in that TLV, any normal attempt to
    update will fail.

  - NetworkDeviceFunction.Ethernet.PermanentMACaddress should stay with
    factory setting if it has been programmed. Read relevant section from
    Factory Settings.

  - PLDM Type4 showing incorrect default Part Number

  - NIC disappeared after NVM signature corruption

  - Incorrect log entry format for timestamp value

  - Get Link Status command does not return External Device Power Class
    value

  - Previously, the PLDM Type 5 Command "Activate Firmware" could
    potentially cause a subsequent PLDM Type 2 event.

  - Resolved an issue where during an ActiveFirmware request coming from
    Update Agent (BMC) PLDM Type2, a PlatformEventMessage was generated by
    the Firmware Device (Network Adapter). As a result, the response did
    not happen, and Update Agent (BMC) treated it as Update Failed.

  - Fixed an issue where the UEFI HII interface could not save the setting
    of virtualization mode.

  - Previously, in PLDM Platform Monitoring and Control, the
    sensor_data_size field of SFP thermal sensor PDR was containing wrong
    value: unsigned instead of signed char/byte.

  - Previously, during ActiveFirmware request coming from Update Agent
    (BMC) PLDM Type2 PlatformEventMessage was generated by our Firmware
    Device (Network Adapter). As a result, response did not happen and
    Update Agent (BMC) treated it as Update Failed.

  - Firmware now acquires semaphore before "Load Factory Settings to PFA"
    and releases it immediately after.

  - Previously, when BMC subscribed to PLDM events, the NIC issued two
    equivalent redfish events for the different origins (Network Adapter
    and Port) caused by the same trigger (link state change for given
    port). This issue caused unnecessary redfish event flood. The
    resolution was to change firmware design in order to avoid sending
    multiple redfish events for the same trigger.

  - Previously, in Network Controller Sideband Interface after
    EnableChannel command invoked, the OEM command IANA=0x02A2 GetLldp
    occasionally returned LLDP TLVs with missing mandatory values for
    chassis_id and port_id.

  - Set packageID SDP to correct values for E810-CQDA1.

  - Now the patched property of NetworkDeviceFunction.Ethernet.MACAddress
    is persistent during reboot. Users can restore to PermanentMACAddress
    with ResetSettingsToDefaults.


FVL/SGVL
--------
New features:
  - Enable E700 X722 Tx signal to "always on".

  - Enable E700 to store events details on the NVM in Recovery Mode.When
    entering the Recovery Mode, X710 will store the details of the event in
    the NVM.

Bug fixes:
  - Resolved an issue where POST to the
    NetworkAdapter.ResetSettingsToDefault looked successful from postman,
    but after reboot the adapter's Port 1 LLDP setting did not reset to
    default.

  - Previously, there were cases of Fortville disappearing from the PCIe
    bus during reboot stress testing reported on Icelake-based platforms.
    These platforms performed a PCIe Hot Reset before asserting PERST# as
    part of the warm reboot cycle. PERST# is asserted at approximately the
    end of the Hot Reset, but due mostly to the Fortville LCB
    implementation, there was a variation in the relative timing of about
    65 us, so many edge cases could occur.

  - Previously, after configuring "ifconfig ethX down" command on Marvell
    devices series 88E1512/88E1514, the peer side (loopback configuration)
    was still reporting link up.

  - Fixed an issue. Unexpected EMP Reset occurred in a rarely BMC request
    combination in a very low probability, which may cause: 'tx_timeout' or
    'ARQ: Unknown event 0x0000 ignored' or 'bond down' if bonding is
    configured.

  - IPS: 00879846 - Intel XXV710-DA2 PCIe 25Gb 2-Port SFP28 Adapter link
    speed and status incorrect

    Description:
    Link event is reported only once at when the machine is powered on,
    after that no link event will be generated any more even after the
    network cable is inserted and removed, this is incorrect, link event
    should be reported when we plugin or remove the AOC cable.

    Fix:
    Firmware reported link speed value based on advertised capability value
    using DNL declaration, changes to read link speed from MAC

  - IPS: 00852370 - IEPD Hot Issue: SR645v3 X710 T2L PCIe bandwidth degraded

    Description:
    X710 PCIe may enter x1 on the AMD Genoa platform in reboot and AC
    process.
    Customer updated system firmware XCC: KAX318V >> KAX322V UEFI: KAE112O
    >> KAE116K Following event occurs intermittently, but high fail rate
    PCIe Link Width has degraded from x8 to x1 in physical slot number 3.
    Slot 3 is Intel X710-T2L 10GBASE-T 2-Port PCIe Ethernet Adapter,
    customer had tried new NIC FW, replace NIC but no help. this system no
    re-timer.

    Fix:
    The firmware changes to enter the PCIE detection phase when PERST
    becomes de-asserted


Release: 28.2 08/01/2023
========================
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.

Bug fixes:
  - IPS: 00819239 - [Kahauale_BBFV_HCT]X710-T4L NIC adapter can't saved the
    "Active Physical Functions" option on uEFI menu.

    Description:
    Intel XXV710-DA2 PCIe 25Gb 2-Port SFP28 Adapter NIC port didn't disable
    after changed the "Active Physical" setting on uEFI menu.

    Fix:
    Reset the length of the PCIe Alt Autoload section during image
    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.

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

    Description:
    WOL function UEIF page show gray, OS can not enable WOL function

    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:
    Card Name field shall be taken from V1 VPD field instead of "large
    resource string". This change applies to 1G Lenovo devices with enabled
    AIM support and existing V1 VPD field.


Release: 28.0 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.

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:
    Used qtest ro run reboot 123 times, xcc web appears: PCIe Correctable
    Error Threshold limit has been exceeded at Segment 0x0000 Bus 0xA8
    Device 0x00 Function 0x01.

    Fix:
    Adjust the replay timer timeout value for different scenarios.
