A.1. Selecting the Correct Update Method

The following table provides instructions to update the FIM based on the FIM currently running on the Intel® PAC with Intel® Arria® 10 GX FPGA.

To determine the FIM version on the Intel® PAC with Intel® Arria® 10 GX FPGA, refer to section Identifying the Flash Image and BMC Firmware.

Table 6.  Selecting the Correct Update Method
Current FIM Version loaded on the PAC FIM and BMC Update Instructions
1.2 or newer
  1. Ensure the Intel® Acceleration Stack version 1.2.1 release is installed.
  2. Follow the instructions in section Updating FPGA Flash and BMC Firmware .
1.1
  1. Navigate to the Intel® Acceleration Stack Archived Versions web page and ensure that you select Intel® Acceleration Stack Version 1.2 from the left column.
  2. Select and download the Intel® Acceleration Stack download.
  3. Scroll down to the Intel® Acceleration Stack Version 1.2 Resources section and click on the Get Resources button.
  4. Unzip the resources folder and retrieve the Intel Acceleration Stack Quick Start Guide for Intel® Programmable Acceleration Card with Intel® Arria® 10 GX FPGA document.
  5. Refer to the following sections in the Intel Acceleration Stack Quick Start Guide for Intel® Programmable Acceleration Card with Intel® Arria® 10 GX FPGA document to provide you with instructions on how to use the setup_fim_and_bmc.sh script to update the FIM and BMC to the 1.2 release:
    • Installing the Intel Acceleration Stack
    • Identifying the Flash Image and BMC Firmware
    • Updating the FIM and BMC Firmware
Older than 1.1
  1. Navigate to the Intel® Acceleration Stack Archived Versions web page and ensure that you select Intel® Acceleration Stack Version 1.1 from the left column.
  2. Select and download the Intel® Acceleration Stack download.
  3. Scroll down to the Intel® Acceleration Stack Version 1.1 Resources section and click on the Get Resources button.
  4. Unzip the resources folder and retrieve the Intel Acceleration Stack Quick Start Guide for Intel® Programmable Acceleration Card with Intel® Arria® 10 GX FPGA document.
  5. Refer to the following sections in the Intel Acceleration Stack Quick Start Guide for Intel® Programmable Acceleration Card with Intel® Arria® 10 GX FPGA document to provide you with instructions on how to update the FIM and BMC to the 1.1 release:
