Firmware Upgrade
The MXP909 module design uses a Board Management Controller (BMC) to implement the PCIe CMI protocol, reset and other
maintenance functions. Dolphin may from time to time publish updated firmware for the BMC, card configuration and the PCIe
switch.
WARNING
: Please note that standard Microsemi tools (ChipLink) cannot be used to upgrade the firmware as this will violate the
warranty. Please contact Dolphin for instructions on how to upgrade the MXP909 module firmware.
Note:
Please consult the MXP909 module Firmware Release Note for details on supported configurations.
Identifying the PXIe module
The module has a label-
sticker with the serial number in the format ‘
MXP909 PXIe module-YY-
ZZZZZZ’, where YY de
notes the
revision (e.g. BB) and ZZZZZZ denotes the serialized production number (e.g. 012345)
–
this whole string makes up the serial
number of the module (i.e. MXP909 module-CC-012345).
You can also get this information using lspci in Linux:
First, identify the devices for the Dolphin MXH909 card:
Then run lspci and identify the module. It will show up as something like
Second, do
# lspci | grep “Device
