Re: Updating FIM and BMC for Arria 10 PAC
Does this mean v1.2 could be programmed directly via the USB Blaster II? This way I could update directly to v1.2.1 using the instructions in the User Guide, i.e., with fpgaotsu and super-rsu, without passing through all the old versions.3.9KViews0likes0CommentsRe: Updating FIM and BMC for Arria 10 PAC
Thanks for the feedback. Unfortunately, I do not have an USB Blaster at my location. I have to send the board back to the main lab for that. One last question: with the USB Blaster, can the bitstream and BMC from version 1.2.1 be programmed directly? Or must the v1.0 be flashed first, and then the various updates applied subsequently?3.9KViews0likes0CommentsRe: Updating FIM and BMC for Arria 10 PAC
The board from 05:00.0 is the board that was previously plugged in the 01:00.0 slot.

Hi John, sorry for the delay, I was still working it out. I am trying to follow the instructions at https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/docs/programmable/683633/1-2-1/selecting-the-correct-update-method.html , but they are outdated: there is no "Archived Versions" in the Acceleration Stack download page anymore; the same goes for "Get Resources" button. Nevertheless, I succesfully downloaded and installed v1.2, but the script "setup_gim_and_bmc.h" requires access to Bittware tools and JTAG, but I have none of the two. I also moved to CentOS 7.4 in order to restart the installation process from scratch from v1.0. Both for v1.0 or v1.1, after running the installer with no errors or warning, OPAE drivers are not installed in the kernel. Furthermore, the output of "fpgainfo fme" now shows a different Pr Interface Id, which I can't find reference of in any user guide or anywhere the internet. The output of all the commands for v1.2 and v1.2.1 is still the same. I think the probles is that the FME driver can't allocate all its subdevices, e.g., from the output of "sudo fpgaotsu --log-level=debug /usr/share/opae/a10-gx-pac/fpgaotsu/base/otsu-09C4.json" (same as above): [...] [2023-01-13 19:46:12,823] [DEBUG ] [MainThread] could not find: "/sys/class/fpga/intel-fpga-dev.0/intel-fpga-fme.0/spi*/spi_master/spi*/spi*" [2023-01-13 19:46:12,824] [DEBUG ] [MainThread] could not find: "/sys/class/fpga/intel-fpga-dev.0/intel-fpga-fme.0/ifpga_sec_mgr/ifpga_sec*" [2023-01-13 19:46:12,824] [INFO ] [MainThread] Intel PAC with Intel Arria 10 GX FPGA 0000:01:00.0 is not secure.
