10Info versions
11=============
12
13The ``ice`` driver reports the following versions
14
15.. list-table:: devlink info versions implemented
16    :widths: 5 5 5 90
17
18    * - Name
19      - Type
20      - Example
21      - Description
22    * - ``board.id``
23      - fixed
24      - K65390-000
25      - The Product Board Assembly (PBA) identifier of the board.
26    * - ``fw.mgmt``
27      - running
28      - 2.1.7
29      - 3-digit version number of the management firmware that controls the
30        PHY, link, etc.
31    * - ``fw.mgmt.api``
32      - running
33      - 1.5
34      - 2-digit version number of the API exported over the AdminQ by the
35        management firmware. Used by the driver to identify what commands
36        are supported.
37    * - ``fw.mgmt.build``
38      - running
39      - 0x305d955f
40      - Unique identifier of the source for the management firmware.
41    * - ``fw.undi``
42      - running
43      - 1.2581.0
44      - Version of the Option ROM containing the UEFI driver. The version is
45        reported in ``major.minor.patch`` format. The major version is
46        incremented whenever a major breaking change occurs, or when the
47        minor version would overflow. The minor version is incremented for
48        non-breaking changes and reset to 1 when the major version is
49        incremented. The patch version is normally 0 but is incremented when
50        a fix is delivered as a patch against an older base Option ROM.
51    * - ``fw.psid.api``
52      - running
53      - 0.80
54      - Version defining the format of the flash contents.
55    * - ``fw.bundle_id``
56      - running
57      - 0x80002ec0
58      - Unique identifier of the firmware image file that was loaded onto
59        the device. Also referred to as the EETRACK identifier of the NVM.
60    * - ``fw.app.name``
61      - running
62      - ICE OS Default Package
63      - The name of the DDP package that is active in the device. The DDP
64        package is loaded by the driver during initialization. Each
65        variation of the DDP package has a unique name.
66    * - ``fw.app``
67      - running
68      - 1.3.1.0
69      - The version of the DDP package that is active in the device. Note
70        that both the name (as reported by ``fw.app.name``) and version are
71        required to uniquely identify the package.
72    * - ``fw.app.bundle_id``
73      - running
74      - 0xc0000001
75      - Unique identifier for the DDP package loaded in the device. Also
76        referred to as the DDP Track ID. Can be used to uniquely identify
77        the specific DDP package.
78    * - ``fw.netlist``
79      - running
80      - 1.1.2000-6.7.0
81      - The version of the netlist module. This module defines the device's
82        Ethernet capabilities and default settings, and is used by the
83        management firmware as part of managing link and device
84        connectivity.
85    * - ``fw.netlist.build``
86      - running
87      - 0xee16ced7
88      - The first 4 bytes of the hash of the netlist module contents.

90Flash Update
91============
92
93The ``ice`` driver implements support for flash update using the
94``devlink-flash`` interface. It supports updating the device flash using a
95combined flash image that contains the ``fw.mgmt``, ``fw.undi``, and
96``fw.netlist`` components.
97
98.. list-table:: List of supported overwrite modes
99   :widths: 5 95
100
101   * - Bits
102     - Behavior
103   * - ``DEVLINK_FLASH_OVERWRITE_SETTINGS``
104     - Do not preserve settings stored in the flash components being
105       updated. This includes overwriting the port configuration that
106       determines the number of physical functions the device will
107       initialize with.
108   * - ``DEVLINK_FLASH_OVERWRITE_SETTINGS`` and ``DEVLINK_FLASH_OVERWRITE_IDENTIFIERS``
109     - Do not preserve either settings or identifiers. Overwrite everything
110       in the flash with the contents from the provided image, without
111       performing any preservation. This includes overwriting device
112       identifying fields such as the MAC address, VPD area, and device
113       serial number. It is expected that this combination be used with an
114       image customized for the specific device.
115
116The ice hardware does not support overwriting only identifiers while
117preserving settings, and thus ``DEVLINK_FLASH_OVERWRITE_IDENTIFIERS`` on its
118own will be rejected. If no overwrite mask is provided, the firmware will be
119instructed to preserve all settings and identifying fields when updating.
120
121Regions
122=======
123
124The ``ice`` driver implements the following regions for accessing internal
125device data.
126
127.. list-table:: regions implemented
128    :widths: 15 85
129
130    * - Name
131      - Description
132    * - ``nvm-flash``
133      - The contents of the entire flash chip, sometimes referred to as
134        the device's Non Volatile Memory.
135    * - ``device-caps``
136      - The contents of the device firmware's capabilities buffer. Useful to
137        determine the current state and configuration of the device.
