The order is important to minimize any issues for status checking as different components are initialized. 1. BMC firmware 2. BIOS/Manageability Engine (ME) firmware (as directed in BIOS Release Notes) 3. FRU/SDR package specific to the baseboard. 4. NIC EEPROM =============================================================================== INSTALLATION PROCEDURE =============================================================================== There are two supported ways to update the BMC firmware. You may opt to use the Web GUI or the UEFI shell method. Web GUI update 1. Unzip the package onto your system 2. Log into the BMC web GUI 3. Navigate to Configuration, then Firmware Update 4. Click browse, and direct the browser to the location of Purley_1.04.f80688d0.bin 5. Click upload. Progress and status will be shown as the update progresses UEFI update 1. Unzip package and load onto a flash drive 2. Boot to UEFI shell, and navigate to the folder where this package lives 3. Run fwUpdateBMC.nsh and follow the prompts =============================================================================== FIRMWARE UPGRADE/DOWNGRADE PROCEDURES =============================================================================== Upgrade of BMC FW from version 1.04 to later versions will be documented in the release notes for those versions. Reverting to a lower version of firmware may have unexpected side effects, including but not limited to user settings reset to defaults, and will always result in the loss of functionality which was present in the higher version but was not implemented in the lower version. We do not guarantee that any downgrade will operate without side-effects. =============================================================================== KNOWN ISSUES/WORKAROUNDS/REQUIREMENTS =============================================================================== WARNING: This release has the BMC PCIe bridge disabled. This will cause the majority of operating systems to fail at boot as they stall during video driver initialization Steps to recover a failing operating system: Linux variants (one of the below): A. Ensure the "modprobe.blacklist=ast" parameter is set in your boot loader (grub) B. Ensure you are using a kernel version v4.10 or newer For Red Hat* Enterprise Linux* v7.3, please refer to the included "RHEL73_InstallationGuide_Rev1.00.pdf" For SUSE* Linux* Enterprise Server v12 SP1 or SP2, please refer to the included "SLES12_InstallationGuide_Rev1.00.pdf" Windows variants: Boot to safe mode, and load aspeed video driver v1.03 or greater and reboot For Windows* Server 2016, please refer to the included "WinSrv16_InstallationGuide_Rev1.00.pdf" =============================================================================== DEFECTS RESOLVED =============================================================================== =============================================================================== v1.04 -
