Flash Intel Arc GPU Firmware in Linux

[anthonylavado]

I missed that and actually used the executable from the Solaris17 git, but with the library built by the Intel repo.

I mean, everything is working 😅

I updated the walk through with build instructions.

Is there a command/way to check what version of the firmware you are currently running? You could then also use this to confirm the install went well.

Replace "update" in all the igsc commands with "version".

you can check "fw", "oprom-data" "oprom-code" and "fw-data" using the version command, here is the output of my Arc380 Asrock

Code:

./igsc fw version --device /dev/mei1
Device: FW Version: DG02_2.2243
./igsc oprom-data version --device /dev/mei1
OPROM DATA Version: 14 00 19 04 00 00 00 00
./igsc oprom-code version --device /dev/mei1
OPROM CODE Version: 14 00 19 04 00 00 00 00
./igsc fw-data version --device /dev/mei1
Device: Fw Data Version: Major Version: 101, OEM Manufacturing Data Version: 0, Major VCN: 0

Thank you for updating the guide with the additional steps. Kind of a bummer that these aren't upstreamed to something like fwupd to facilitate this whole process, though. Intel being generally more Linux friendly than other companies, you'd expect some better support than that.

I suggest a small update to your introductions. " the OPROM code (at the top of the oprom column), " is no longer true. The OPROM (DG2) column is now ordered alphabetically, so "DG2:" is just somewhere in the middle.

Updated.  Thanks for pointing that out.

I have an ASRock A580 Challenger card. I'm not sure what to choose for the oprom files as there's not a file specifically for this card only the A380 and A750. Making a guess that it's the A750 as in another column the A580 is mentioned and grouped together with that card.

SOC1 (A770/A750/A580)(M) Firmware

Asrock Challenger A380:
14 00 2C 04 00 00 00 00

Asrock Challenger A750:
14 00 2C 04 00 00 00 00


~/Downloads/igsc$ sudo ./igsc fw version --device /dev/mei1
Device: FW Version: DG02_1.3252
~/Downloads/igsc$ sudo ./igsc oprom-data version --device /dev/mei1
OPROM DATA Version: 14 00 28 04 00 00 00 00
~/Downloads/igsc$ sudo ./igsc oprom-code version --device /dev/mei1
OPROM CODE Version: 14 00 28 04 00 00 00 00

If there is no OPROM available for your card, then it hasn't received an update since the card was released and it is ok to skip that portion.

This was the case for the user above with their Asrock low profile A380.
