[openib-general] Firmware parameters

[Sayantan Sur]

Hi,

I read the Wiki page (last updated 09/15) on burning firmware:

https://openib.org/tiki/tiki-index.php?page=Installation+Cheat+Sheet

I couldn't find any information on how to set certain firmware
parameters (like TPT values, Number of Outstanding Reads ... etc.) in
that page.

Another important question is given any HCA (with pre-installed
firmware), how do I find out the parameter values on the card?

I tried mstflint in the following manner, but wasn't able to get any
useful information. I tried this on SuSE Linux 9.3, kernel 2.6.13-1(smp)
with SVN revision 3433.

[surs at ro0:mstflint] sudo ./mstflint -d 02:00.0 q

[surs at ro0:mstflint] sudo ./mstflint -d 02:00.0 dc
*** ERROR *** Failed dumping FW configuration: Fw configuration section

Could someone please direct me to some means to achieve this?

TIA,
Sayantan.
