T6 Firmware
++++++++++++
================================================================================
Version : 1.16.63.0
Date : 09/29/2017
================================================================================
Fixes
-----
BASE:
- Fixed a fw crash when configured traffic rate limit is less than 10kbps.
- Fixed traffic rate limiting for smaller traffic rate value.
ETH:
- Fixed 40G link failure when interface is toggled.
- Fixed adapter crash when interface is toggled during traffic.
- Fixed 25G link failure when PEER only supports consortium mode autoneg
for 25G.
- Fixed 100G optics link failure when cable is plugged in after bringing up
the interface.
- Enable RS FEC as default if speed is 100G.
- Fixed DCBX configuration refresh failure.
================================================================================
Version : 1.16.59.0
Date : 09/05/2017
================================================================================
FIXES
-----
BASE:
- Fixed fw crash caused by MC parity error in SO adapters.
- Generate Timer0Int interrupt if fw crashes due to unaligned access error. Host
driver must look into PCIE_FW register to see if any fw fatal error has
encountered. If PCIE_FW doesn't indicate any error then driver must ignore this
interrupt.
- Fixed receive buffer threshold settings which was resulting in error frames on
receive side.
ETH:
- Fixed an issue in connection traffic shaping when
FLOWC_WR->FW_FLOWC_MNEM_SCHEDCLASS is not received in first WR on the connection.
- Fixed link failure when speed is changed from 10G-1G-10G due to incorrect flag
check.
- Fixed improper LED behaviour for blink test and when traffic is running.
- Removed storage of previous fec settings from fw. Driver needs to pass the user
settings whenever a new module is plugged in as fw resets these when a module is
unplugged.
OFLD
- OVS offload: TP cache is flushed periodically to get the accuate filters stats
(hit count).
ENHANCEMENTS
------------
BASE:
- Ring backbone feature added. New FW_PARAMS_PARAM_DEV_RING_BACKBONE param type
added to query and enable ring backbone support.
- VNI support added for filtering. New entry_type FW_VI_MAC_TYPE_EXACTMAC_VNI
added to FW_VI_MAC_CMD.
- Added new API FW_PARAM_PARAM_DEV_MPSBGMAP to read the priority to buffer group
mapping for the ports.
- FW_PARAMS_PARAM_DEV_TPCHMAP API added to read the port to channel mapping.
- HMA (Host memory access) support added. New FW_HMA_CMD and
FW_PARAMS_PARAM_DEV_HMA_SIZE added to query and configure the HMA. It
enables the memfree support (256 connections) for iwarp.
- PTP support enabled.
ETH:
- Added consortium mode 50G support.
- Added the ability to allow only selected speeds to be advertised during auto
negotiation.
- Increased port capability from 16 to 32 bits to support more speeds.
FW_PARAMS_PARAM_PFVF_PORT_CAPS32 added to query whether fw supports 16 or 32
bit port capability.
OFLD:
- RDMA Write with immediate support added (iwarp 2.0 feature)
- FW_TLS_KEYCTX_TX_WR removed and security key management moved to driver.
- 256 offloaded connections support for iwarp on SO adapters.
iSCSI:
- New param FW_PARAMS_PARAM_DEV_PPOD_EDRAM added for iscsi ppod configuration
in EDRAM (performance improvement).
FOiSCSI:
- iSCSI Command offload target support added.
FOFCoE:
- FCoE support enabled.

value. Used in guest RDMA (RDMA from VM/VF) usecase.
- T6 Crypto Coprocessor mode bug fixes.

ENHANCEMENTS
------------
BASE:
