Flash Intel Arc GPU Firmware in Linux

[jravin]

We found out that old firmware was the cause of this user's poor transcoding performance.

• You will need to download four files from this table.  The "SOC" firmware for your particular model (A380, A550, etc), the "OPROM" data for your specific vendor and model (Asrock Challenger A380, for example), the OPROM code (labeled "DG2" in the OPROM column), and the fwdata pack.  The fwdata pack download link is in the same column as the OPROM at the bottom.  You will need to unzip the fwdata pack first.
  
• NOTE: You can upgrade only the portion of firmware available for your card; some cards may not have all files available as they have not received an update. [EDITED 2025-08-12 by bitmap]
  

From what is being said here, and in the TechPowerUp forum, not all cards will require four files?  For instance, I have an Arc 580 (Battlemage G21).  So would I download the stable version from:

JUST:
BMG (B580/B570) Firmware column

OR would I download:

BMG (B580/B570) Firmware column
OPROM (DG1) column, looks like this is the code rom

Now we will flash the SOC firmware.  This will be the .bin file you downloaded.

• sudo ./igsc fw update --device /dev/mei2 --image dg2_gfx_fwupdate_SOC2.bin
  

I would go with the following:

Code:

/usr/bin/sudo ./igsc fw update --device /dev/mei1 --image bmg_g21_fwupdate_golden.bin

Now we will flash the OPROM code.

• sudo ./igsc oprom-code update --device /dev/mei2 --image dg2_c_oprom.rom
  

Would I go with the following:

Code:

/usr/bin/sudo ./igsc oprom-code update --device  /dev/mei1 --image dg1_c_oprom.rom

The zip file did not have any B580 specific files in it, so I am assuming I skip that step.

I do not want to mess up the firmware.  Any assistance would be appreciated.
