I flashed 20 HP CX3 cards use these instructions
Put these lines in a batch file
Do these two lines once to create mlnx_firmware.bin
mlxburn -fw fw-ConnectX3-rel.mlx -conf MCX354A-FCB_A2-A5.ini -wrimage HP_mlnx_firmware.bin
mlxburn -fw fw-ConnectX3-rel.mlx -conf MCX354A-FCB_A2-A5.ini -wrimage fw-ConnectX3-rel-2_31_5050-MCX354A-FCB_A2-A5-56GbE_VPI.bin
echo Cross Flash HP card to use Mellanox CX3 firmware
pause
call flint -i HP_mlnx_firmware.bin verify
call flint -i HP_mlnx_firmware.bin query full
pause
call flint -d mt4099_pciconf0 -i HP_mlnx_firmware.bin -allow_psid_change burn
pause
You need to download and install WinMFT_x64_4_5_0_31.exe
You also need ConnectX3-rel-2_40_5000.tgz ( this is the version I used )
latter version is ConnectX3-rel-2_40_5030.tgz ( dated March 2017 )
Anyone flashing Mellanox ConnectX-3 in qty?
Anyone here have a box or two that they’ve used for flash Mellanox ConnectX-3 from HP or IBM to stock? I’m finding myself about to do a dozen. Tooling seems like I’d have an easier time using Windows instead of Linux. Can anyone give me some pointers on a flash box? I’d also like to hear if…
