24 Acquiring Firmware
27 The NFP4000 and NFP6000 devices require application specific firmware
28 to function.  Application firmware can be located either on the host file system
29 or in the device flash (if supported by management firmware).
31 Firmware files on the host filesystem contain card type (`AMDA-*` string), media
32 config etc.  They should be placed in `/lib/firmware/netronome` directory to
33 load firmware from the host file system.
35 Firmware for basic NIC operation is available in the upstream
36 `linux-firmware.git` repository.
38 Firmware in NVRAM
41 Recent versions of management firmware supports loading application
42 firmware from flash when the host driver gets probed.  The firmware loading
45 Devlink or ethtool can be used to update the application firmware on the device
47 command.  Users need to take care to write the correct firmware image for the
56 firmware images targeting different applications.
58 When using application firmware from host, we recommend placing
59 actual firmware files in application-named subdirectories in
60 `/lib/firmware/netronome` and linking the desired files, e.g.::
62     $ tree /lib/firmware/netronome/
63     /lib/firmware/netronome/
81 After changing firmware files you may need to regenerate the initramfs
82 image.  Initramfs contains drivers and firmware files your system may

109 Firmware loading policy
112 Firmware loading policy is controlled via three HWinfo parameters
116     Defines which firmware should take precedence, 'Disk' (0), 'Flash' (1) or
117     the 'Preferred' (2) firmware. When 'Preferred' is selected, the management
118     firmware makes the decision over which firmware will be loaded by comparing
119     versions of the flash firmware and the host supplied firmware.
124     Defines if the driver should reset the firmware when
125     the driver is probed, either 'Disk' (0) if firmware was found on disk,
127     reset on driver unload if firmware was loaded when the driver was probed.
