[openib-general] New Mellanox Firmware Page on the web

[Hani Salloum]

Hello,

The firmware webpage of Mellanox Technologies
(www.mellanox.com/products/firmware.html) has been updated in the hope of
making things easier for customers. Here are a few notes about it.

*	The main firmware page now contains a table of HCA firmware images
which can be burnt onto Mellanox HCA cards using the tool flint. It also
includes simple instructions for burning firmware.
*	The Mellanox Firmware Tools (MFT) package, which includes mlxburn
(image generator), flint (HCA firmware burner), spark (single switch
firmware burner), can be downloaded straight from the web (5MByte only).
Release Notes and User's Manual are there as well.
*	The main page contains links to the following pages:
*	How to identify your HCA - which basically helps the customer find
the PSID (a firmware configuration identifer). Using the PSID the correct
firmware image can be downloaded from the table.
*	How to customize & update firmware using .ini files. This page
contains a table of .mlx firmware packages and .ini files that can be
modified.
*	How to update firmware for a cluster using ibadm(ibfwmgr).

Missing:
How to update firmware for a single switch device - TBD


I'll be glad to receive your feedback.

Best Regards,
