Updating Firmware for a Single Switch System

To update firmware on a single switch system in a Linux environment:

Download the Mellanox Firmware Tools (MFT) package (save with .tgz extension), its Release Notes, and its User's Manual.
Install MFT: First untar the downloaded package (tar -xzvf <mft tarball>), then run 'install.sh'.
Download the correct firmware tar file using the Switch Firmware Download Table (below) (save with .tgz extension).
Untar the firmware tarball using: tar -xzvf <FW tarball>
Perform the following steps to burn the firmware image to the switch system.

a. Connect Mellanox's MTUSB-1 device (Dimax - a USB to I2C adapter) between the host machine (USB port) and the switch system (I2C port).

b. Create the /dev/mst/mtusb-1 device by running: mst start
c. cd to fw-47396-1.0.5/ucode
d. Set the internal i2c hub by running:  ./MTS2400_i2c_set /dev/mst/mtusb-1
e. Query the switch system to see if it has a valid firmware image and a PSID by running:
   spark -d /dev/mst/mtusb-1 q

  If the query returns an error, please contact your Mellanox FAE.

f. If the query succeeds, upgrade the firmware version on the switch system by running:
   mlxburn -fw ./IS3FW.BIN -dev /dev/mst/mtusb-1
