* PSID

IDentification) is a 16-ascii character string embedded in the firmware
image which provides a unique identification for the configuration of
the firmware.
- Run “lspci | grep Mellanox” to determine the PCI bus ID
- Unzip the firmware image by running “unzip <firmware file name>.zip”
- You need the mstflint utility to update the firmware. You can download mstflint from the OpenFabrics site at mstflint_SW for Linux. (NOTE: If OFED is installed on your machine, then mstflint is already installed.)
- In the same directory as the firmware file, run “mstflint
–d <PCI bus ID, i.e. 05:00.0> -i <.bin file>
b”.
For details on mstflint usage -- see mstflint FW Burning Tool README - Reboot the system
- Run the “ibstat” command to verify the new firmware version
