10Info versions
11=============

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      - 1.5.1
34      - 3-digit version number (major.minor.patch) of the API exported over
35        the AdminQ by the management firmware. Used by the driver to
36        identify what commands are supported. Historical versions of the
37        kernel only displayed a 2-digit version number (major.minor).
38    * - ``fw.mgmt.build``
39      - running
40      - 0x305d955f
41      - Unique identifier of the source for the management firmware.
42    * - ``fw.undi``
43      - running
44      - 1.2581.0
45      - Version of the Option ROM containing the UEFI driver. The version is
46        reported in ``major.minor.patch`` format. The major version is
47        incremented whenever a major breaking change occurs, or when the
48        minor version would overflow. The minor version is incremented for
49        non-breaking changes and reset to 1 when the major version is
50        incremented. The patch version is normally 0 but is incremented when
51        a fix is delivered as a patch against an older base Option ROM.
52    * - ``fw.psid.api``
53      - running
54      - 0.80
55      - Version defining the format of the flash contents.
56    * - ``fw.bundle_id``
57      - running
58      - 0x80002ec0
59      - Unique identifier of the firmware image file that was loaded onto
60        the device. Also referred to as the EETRACK identifier of the NVM.
61    * - ``fw.app.name``
62      - running
63      - ICE OS Default Package
64      - The name of the DDP package that is active in the device. The DDP
65        package is loaded by the driver during initialization. Each
66        variation of the DDP package has a unique name.
67    * - ``fw.app``
68      - running
69      - 1.3.1.0
70      - The version of the DDP package that is active in the device. Note
71        that both the name (as reported by ``fw.app.name``) and version are
72        required to uniquely identify the package.
73    * - ``fw.app.bundle_id``
74      - running
75      - 0xc0000001
76      - Unique identifier for the DDP package loaded in the device. Also
77        referred to as the DDP Track ID. Can be used to uniquely identify
78        the specific DDP package.
79    * - ``fw.netlist``
80      - running
81      - 1.1.2000-6.7.0
82      - The version of the netlist module. This module defines the device's
83        Ethernet capabilities and default settings, and is used by the
84        management firmware as part of managing link and device
85        connectivity.
86    * - ``fw.netlist.build``
87      - running
88      - 0xee16ced7
89      - The first 4 bytes of the hash of the netlist module contents.

91Flash Update
92============
93
94The ``ice`` driver implements support for flash update using the
95``devlink-flash`` interface. It supports updating the device flash using a
96combined flash image that contains the ``fw.mgmt``, ``fw.undi``, and
97``fw.netlist`` components.

99.. list-table:: List of supported overwrite modes
100   :widths: 5 95
101
102   * - Bits
103     - Behavior
104   * - ``DEVLINK_FLASH_OVERWRITE_SETTINGS``
105     - Do not preserve settings stored in the flash components being
106       updated. This includes overwriting the port configuration that
107       determines the number of physical functions the device will
108       initialize with.
109   * - ``DEVLINK_FLASH_OVERWRITE_SETTINGS`` and ``DEVLINK_FLASH_OVERWRITE_IDENTIFIERS``
110     - Do not preserve either settings or identifiers. Overwrite everything
111       in the flash with the contents from the provided image, without
112       performing any preservation. This includes overwriting device
113       identifying fields such as the MAC address, VPD area, and device
114       serial number. It is expected that this combination be used with an
115       image customized for the specific device.
116
117The ice hardware does not support overwriting only identifiers while
118preserving settings, and thus ``DEVLINK_FLASH_OVERWRITE_IDENTIFIERS`` on its
119own will be rejected. If no overwrite mask is provided, the firmware will be
120instructed to preserve all settings and identifying fields when updating.
121
122Regions
123=======
124
125The ``ice`` driver implements the following regions for accessing internal
126device data.
127

129    :widths: 15 85
130
131    * - Name
132      - Description
133    * - ``nvm-flash``
134      - The contents of the entire flash chip, sometimes referred to as
135        the device's Non Volatile Memory.
136    * - ``device-caps``
137      - The contents of the device firmware's capabilities buffer. Useful to
138        determine the current state and configuration of the device.
