7. Updating the Retimer Firmware

The Intel® FPGA PAC N3000-N/2 is preloaded with Retimer firmware version 101c.1064. To verify the Retimer firmware version: 
$ sudo fpgainfo phy

Retimer B Version             : 101c.1064
The following steps are instructive and provide guidance on how to perform firmware update for future Retimer versions:
  1. Perform fpgasupdate to load the NIOS with Retimer firmware.
  2. Perform reset:
    $ sudo rsu bmcimg [PCIe B:D.F]
  3. Perform echo 1 to eeprom_load sysfs node of the card:
    $ echo 1 > /sys/class/fpga/intel-fpga-dev.0/intel-fpga-fme.0/spi-altera.0.auto/spi_master/spi0/spi0.0/pkvl/eeprom_load
  4. Check the eeprom_update_status node for completion, the value must be 0x1111.
    $ cat /sys/class/fpga/intel-fpga-dev.0/intel-fpga-fme.0/spi-altera.0.auto/spi_master/spi0/spi0.0/pkvl/eeprom_update_status
  5. Perform reset:
    $ sudo rsu bmcimg [PCIe B:D.F]
  6. Verify the Retimer firmware version:
    $ sudo fpgainfo phy
