Occasional ContributorFIM and BMC Firmware not available on Acceleration Board A10
Hi,
Since your PAC card is from 1.0Beta version, you will need to update it to 1.1 version before proceeding to 1.2.
So you will need to update the board to 1.1 PV before updating to 1.2 PV. Sorry for the inconvenience.
Follow the "Identifying and Updating FIM" section of the 1.1PV version of the Intel Acceleration Stack Quick Start Guide for Intel Programmable Acceleration Card with Intel Arria 10 GX FPGA to first update to 1.1PV FIM (dcp_1_1.rpd).
Note: • It is acceptable to leverage the 1.2 OPAE packages when following the FIM update instructions from the 1.1PV version of the Intel Acceleration Stack Quick Start Guide for Intel Programmable Acceleration Card with Intel Arria 10 GX FPGA.
• 1.1PV runtime download package can be located here. For access to the previous version of the Intel Acceleration Stack Quick Start Guide for Intel Programmable Acceleration Card with Intel Arria 10 GX FPGA, refer to the "Intel Acceleration Stack Quick Start Guide for Intel Programmable Acceleration Card with Intel Arria 10 GX FPGA Archives" section.
2. Follow the instructions in the "Updating FPGA Flash and BMC Firmware" section in the current version of this document
Regular ContributorHi,
May I know what is the issue that you are observing? If it is related to the initial screenshot then this is related to system setup issue and not related to PAC card.
FLI know the problem is about system setup as I attached a screenshot describing the conflict between OPAE-lib and libjson. But this issue never happened before when I installed the 1.2.1 acceleration stack at very first time.
To be specific, in the after installation process, when I launch the setup.sh and answer all questions with Yes and set path to the default, the script will quit with a dependency problem(opae-lib depend on libjson) but I already have the libjson at the newest version, which makes me confused.
Now I put the PAC board on another PC and install the acceleraiton stack 1.2, finding it is the problem of lower version of FIM and BMC firmware on PAC board (1.1). I'm contacting the Bitware to get the BittWorks II Toolkit Lite software as I see the instruction about how to update FIM and BMC version to 1.2 on the quick start guide. Hope this will solve the problem and bring up the PAC board.
