Guys, Currently, the bnx2x.c driver looks for the following firmware files (when PMD is enabled for it):
--- $ ~/sources/dpdk/dpdk-2.2.0/drivers/net/bnx2x$ grep lib\/firmware * bnx2x.c:#define FW_NAME_57711 "/lib/firmware/bnx2x/bnx2x-e1h-7.2.51.0.fw" bnx2x.c:#define FW_NAME_57810 "/lib/firmware/bnx2x/bnx2x-e2-7.2.51.0.fw" --- Files bnx2x-e1h-7.2.51.0.fw and bnx2x-e2-7.2.51.0.fw. However, on Ubuntu 16.04, the package linux-firmware comes with: --- $ dpkg -L linux-firmware | grep -i bnx2x /lib/firmware/bnx2x/bnx2x-e1h-7.12.30.0.fw /lib/firmware/bnx2x/bnx2x-e1-7.12.30.0.fw /lib/firmware/bnx2x/bnx2x-e1-7.13.1.0.fw /lib/firmware/bnx2x/bnx2x-e2-7.12.30.0.fw /lib/firmware/bnx2x/bnx2x-e1h-7.13.1.0.fw /lib/firmware/bnx2x/bnx2x-e2-7.13.1.0.fw --- Is it okay to just point bnx2x.c to a new version and rebuild it ? For example: bnx2x-e1h-7.13.1.0.fw and bnx2x-e2-7.13.1.0.fw ? I would prefer to not manually download old firmware from Github: https://github.com/cernekee/linux-firmware/tree/master/bnx2x Thanks, Thiago
