[openib-general] [mstflint] firmware upgrade instructions

[James Lentini]

Hi Michael,

I'm guessing that you are the maintainer of mstflint. Two questions:

What is the difference between mstflint and tvflash?

Using mstflint, how can the firmware located on the Mellanox website:

http://www.mellanox.com/products/firmware.html

be used to upgrade an HCA? 

I tried 

# /sbin/lspci -d 15b3:5a44
02:00.0 InfiniBand: Mellanox Technology MT23108 InfiniHost (rev a1)

# ./mstflint -d 02:00.0 -i fw-23108-rel-3_3_3/fw-23108-a1-rel.mlx b
*** ERROR *** Image file open failed: Image size should be 4-bytes 
aligned.

I'll add the answers to the Wiki for posterity.
