| be occasionally reported as bad_crc32 |
| |
| 2) Add selectable failover strategy for dual-port chip: symmetric or primary/backup |
| |
| 3) pcie-2.0 additions for pcie-2.0 compliance |
| |

| |
| |
| Myri10GE Firmware 1.4.43 (May 27th, 2009) |
| ----------------------- |
| |
| 1) Fix a bug when ECRC checking is enabled (so far problem has been |
| triggered with IBM X3 architecture with OSes enabling ecrc), which |
| would cause some spurious ecrc errors to be reported. |
| |
| 2) Fix a bug that can cause the NIC to stop receiving in a |
| Windows/NDIS multi-slice configuration with heavy loads of small |
| packets. |
| |
| |
| Myri10GE Firmware 1.4.42 (March 31st, 2009) |
| ----------------------- |

| |
| |
| Myri10GE Firmware 1.4.39 (January 20th, 2009) |
| ----------------------- |
| |
| 1) Fix a bug introduced in 1.4.37 which could lead to |
| incorrect IP checksums in TSO packets when drivers use TSO mode 1 |
| (which is used only by Solaris and Windows). No firmware |
| distributed with those drivers was affected. |
| |
| Myri10GE Firmware 1.4.38 (December 18th, 2008) |
| ----------------------- |
| |
| 1) Use smaller read-speed for new NICs with 1MB eeproms. |
| |
| |
| Myri10GE Firmware 1.4.37 (December 12th, 2008) |
| ----------------------- |
| |
| 1) Fix a theoretical bug when IPv6+VLAN+TSO are used together |
| (never observed in any supported OS) |
| |
| 2) Fix a bug that would cause the revision-id for -8B NIC to change |
| upon handoff |
| |
| 3) Add support for dual-chip NIC (10G-PCIE2-xxx) |
| |
| 4) Add i2c/smbus general-purpose interface so host can |
| access all transceiver info and more easily. |
| Make sure myri10ge special-purpose interface is available on both |
| 'S' and 'R' (SFP+ and XFP). |
| |
| 5) Use 6dB preemphasis on QSFP cards to support QSFP copper-cables |
| |
| 6) Big eeprom-reprogramming speed improvement on 8B NICs. |
| |
| 7) More power-saving items on 8B NICs. |
| |
| 8) For PHY where the transceivers is kept up (quad/QSFP/CX4), send |
| REMOTE-FAULT notification when interface is down (rather than |
| unaligned COMMA stream) |
| |
| 9) Add PCI-VPD capability for identification purposes. |
| |
| 10) Add new optional command that allows the driver to provide |
| unaligned buffers in rx-rings (with a trade-off in perf) |
| |
| |
| Myri10GE Firmware 1.4.36 (October 14th, 2008) |
| ----------------------- |
| |
| 1) Fix possible bug on tx with multi-slice firmware |
| on pcie platforms where RDMAs complete out of order |

| |
| Production-eeprom with PCI-ROM 5.4.3i |
| |
| |
| Myri10GE Firmware 1.4.34 (October 2nd, 2008) |
| ----------------------- |
| |
| Myricom-internal release candidate |
| |
| |
| Myri10GE Firmware 1.4.33 (October 1st, 2008) |
| ----------------------- |
| |
| 1) Support for 10G-PCIE-8B NICs |
| |
| 2) Add option for Open-MX specific hashing to multi-queue firmware |
| |
| 3) multi-slice firmware: fix a bug when the presence of 32-bit or |
| 64-bit addresses for interrupt queues and data is not uniform across |
| slices |
| |
| |
| Myri10GE Firmware 1.4.32 (July 29, 2008) |

| ----------------------- |
| |
| 1) Add support for DCA |
| |
| 2) Use relaxed-ordering by default (unless explicitely disabled by config-space) |
| |
| 3) Improves automatic selection between ethp_z8e/eth_z8e |
| (eth_z8e is better for almost all chipsets except E7520) |
| |
| 4) Refuse ethernet initialization on misnegotiated pcie-link |
| |
| |
| 5) Initialize Quake i2c burst mode 16 (was defaulting to 256) for compliance |
| with XFP-MSA spec and all XPF brand (i2c is only used for diagnostics). |
| |
| |
| 6) Minor pcie-1.1 spec config-space changes (only relevant for pcie test suites) |
| |
| Production-eeprom with PCI-ROM 5.4.3i |
| |
| |
| Myri10GE Firmware 1.4.30 (February 11, 2008) |
| ----------------------- |
| |
| 1) For eeprom usage, modification to low-level pcie initialization to fix: |
| * pcie-link occasionally negotiating with suboptimal width |
| (x1/x2/x4 sometimes seen were x8 was expected), |
| * NIC rarely not initializating in pcie-2.0 (5GT/s-able) slots. |
| |
| 2) Add partial-write counter to analyze host write-combining properties. |
| |
| |
| Myri10GE Firmware 1.4.29 (January 2, 2007) |
| ----------------------- |
| |
| 1) Increase an internal timing (dispatch engine): fix possible spurious reset |
| (seen on very few cards). |
| |
| Production-eeprom with PCI-ROM 5.4.3g |
| |
| Myri10GE Firmware 1.4.28 (December 20, 2007) |
| ----------------------- |
| |
| 1) Fix support for AEL1010-based cards. |
| |
| 2) Add "relaxed-ordering" variant of multi-slice firmware. |
| |
| 3) Make sure MSI-X works even with some buggy Linux version that don't mask |
| the interrupt while updating the MSI-X vector. |
| |
| 4) When using "relaxed-ordering", make use of it during initial DMA benchs. |
| |
| |
| |
| Myri10GE Firmware 1.4.27 (December 12, 2007) |
| ----------------------- |
| |
| 1) Add support for new revisions of -R cards (with AEL1002/AEL1010 xaui->xfi) |
| |
| 2) Add MXGEFW_CMD_SET_THROTTLE_FACTOR to fix a maximum tx speed for the NIC |
| |
| |
| Myri10GE Firmware 1.4.26 (October 30, 2007) |
| ----------------------- |
| |
| 1) Fix a bug introduced in 1.4.20 where speculative read by the processor in the |
| write-only doorbell region would cause a target-abort (as opposed to simply |
| returning random data). This could manifest itself as NMI or machine freeze |
| depending on how the BIOS/OS/chipset configuration handles target-abort. |
| |
| 2) Fix a bug in MSI-X processing (no released driver was using that feature yet) |
| |
| Myri10GE Firmware 1.4.25 (August 17, 2007) |
| ----------------------- |
| |
| 1) Add ipv6 TSO support |
| |
| 2) Add MDIO command to allow driver to access Quake (xaui-xfi converter) chip on -R cards. |
| |
| 3) If the host stops consuming for too long, starts dropping packets rather than |
| indefinitely blocking the rx path with flow-control. That protects the network |
| in the case of host crash. |
| |
| 4) Add new commands to allow the driver to access the XFP "i2c" tables on -R cards. |
| |
| Myri10GE Firmware 1.4.24 (August 12, 2007) |
| ----------------------- |
| |
| Production-eeprom with PCI-ROM 5.4.3g |

| |
| Myri10GE Firmware 1.4.22 (July 6, 2007) |
| ----------------------- |
| |
| 1) For eeprom usage, combine with etherboot PCI-ROM ether5.4.3e. |
| |
| Myri10GE Firmware 1.4.21 (June 6, 2007) |
| ----------------------- |
| |
| 1) On -R cards, fix bug that might cause laser to stay off when downgrading |
| to firmware version <= 1.4.15 (happens when older driver is loaded): |
| Versions between 1.4.16 and 1.4.20 would leave laser off when handoff'ing to |
| another firmware, firmware <= 1.4.15 would never turn it back on. |
| |
| 2) Fix problem with 1.4.20 which would refuse any runtime firmware downgrade. |
| We now allow any firmware downgrade compatible with pci-conf-space layout |
| (defined by eeprom contents at last fundamental reset). |
| |
| 3) For eeprom usage, combine with etherboot PCI-ROM ether5.4.3d |
| |
| Myri10GE Firmware 1.4.20 (June 3, 2007) |
| ----------------------- |
| |
| 1) Fix possible NIC-failure on platforms using ethp and using |
| pcie in-band hot-reset (no known platform match that description) |
| |
| 2) Runs on NICs with MSI-X support in eeprom |
| |
| 3) Make the NIC compliant with PCI-e 1.1 (upgrade from 1.0a) |
| |
| |
| Myri10GE Firmware 1.4.19 (May 23, 2007) |
| ----------------------- |
| |
| 1) Make firmware usable as eeprom firmware (1.4.17 and 1.4.18 are only |
| suitable as runtime loaded firmware). |
| |
| |
| Myri10GE Firmware 1.4.18 (May 17, 2007) |
| ----------------------- |
| |
| 1) Optionally support new rx ring allocation strategy for big buffers |
| |
| 2) Increase tx send ring to 16K |
| |
| 3) Fix for harmless pcie compliance issue: when enabled, make sure a |
| correctable error message is sent to the pcie hierarchy for replay-timer |
| and replay-rollover events. |
| |
| 4) Support NICs with Completion-Timeout extentions enabled in eeprom. |
| |
| Myri10GE Firmware 1.4.17 (April 27, 2007) |
| ----------------------- |
| |
| 1) Add individual counters for "pause" packets and "unicast_filtered" |
| |
| 2) Detect and report when NIC is plugged into a Myrinet fabric |
| |
| 3) Ensure optimized firmware is reported as compatible with 631xESB southbridge |
| |
| Myri10GE Firmware 1.4.16 (April 23, 2007) |
| ----------------------- |
| |
| 1) While interface is down, xaui port now emits a stream of K28.5 |
| symbols to prevent incorrect signal-tuning when plugged in a xg-fujitsu 700 |
| |
| 2) Add invidual firmware counters for bad_crc32 and bad_phy frames |
| |
| 3) On R-cards, turn laser-off when interface is down |
| |
| Transparent for end-user (change affect driver writers only): |
| 4) Add ability to auto-detect aligned chipset in cooperation with |
| driver (avoid the need for driver whitelist) |
| 5) Remove the need for driver initiated "dummy_rdma" |
| (mcp automatically works around pcie-retransmit bug in some chipsets |
| by forcing spurious nak). |
| |
| Myri10GE Firmware 1.4.15 (March 24, 2007) |
| ----------------------- |
| |
| Production-eeprom with PCI-ROM 5.4.3c |
| |
| Myri10GE Firmware 1.4.14 (March 20, 2007) |
| ----------------------- |
| |
| 1) Allows capture of Reserved Ethernet packets 01:80:c2:00:00:0X through multicast-filter |
| (previously available only in promiscuous mode) |
| 2) Fix rare spurious of pcie-TLP retransmit (was completely harmless and invisible to the host) |
| |
| Myri10GE Firmware 1.4.13 (March 13, 2007) |
| ----------------------- |
| |
| 1) fix for special debug/diagnostic mode with BAR2 access (irrelevant for end-user) |
| |
| Myri10GE Firmware 1.4.12 (February 7, 2007) |
| ----------------------- |
| |
| 1) By default, disable the 20us firmware pause every 50ms (JTAG access). |
| 2) Use maximum TLP size of 256 when doing wdma. |
| 3) fix broadcast rx problem with adopted firmware |
| |
| Myri10GE Firmware 1.4.11 (January 9, 2007) |
| ----------------------- |
| |
| 1) Ensure -0 is never used in the ipv4 header checksum field (TSO case) |
| Known receivers don't distinguish between +0 and -0, but |
| RFC1624 recommends to be safe. |
| |
| Myri10GE Firmware 1.4.10 (December 5, 2006) |
| ----------------------- |
| |
| BUG FIXES |
| 1) Fix capability inheritance bug upon firmware loading |
| bug was introduced between 1.4.7 and 1.4.8 |
| |
| Myri10GE Firmware 1.4.9 (November 30, 2006) |
| ----------------------- |
| |
| BUG FIXES |
| 1) Fix handling of Reserved Ethernet packets 01:80:c2:00:00:0X |
| (which were silently dropped) |
| - They now increment the dropped_link_error_or_filtered counter. |
| - In promisc mode, they are forwarded to the driver. |
| |
