Michael,
Looking at the attached error file will show a big endian data displayed
in wrong little endian order.
The attached file mstflint2.patch fix this problem.
The mstflint2.patch has to be used after mstflint.patch packed in the
OFED-1.1 openib.tgz.(user_patches...)
The patch change only the displayed data and not the program's used
internal structures , as I found that data write is performed o.k.
and I did not want to cause errors in the writing process .
Moshe

Subject: mstflint error on ppc64
Hi Michael,
The output of mstflint is changed on ppc64 as result of byte
ordering issues.
If you take a HCA that was burned using x86_64 or Mellanox
manufacturing and perform mstflint -d ... q on ppc64
you'll find that the value of PSID VSD and Board Id was changed.
I tried to look at the code to find the error,
but then I saw that vsd is defined twice in the code according
to it's usage (char[205], or unsigned int[52] )
Can you please look and help ?
Best regards,
Moshe
