Firmware Support and Downloads - Identifying Adapter Cards
Steps Example
Find the PSID of the Product Using 'Flint'
After installing the MFT package, perform the following steps:
1. Enter: mst start  
2. Get the Mellanox mst device name using the command "mst status".
The device name will be of the form: dev/mst/mt<dev_id>_pci{_cr0|conf0} 
 
3. Get the PSID (firmware identification) using the command > flint -d /dev/mst/mt4099_pci_cr0 query

Image type: FailSafe
Chip rev.: A1
...
Board ID: (MT_0000000001) <--- This is the PSID
If OFED is Installed on Your Machine - Use 'ibv_devinfo'
This method assumes you have installed OFED (see www.openfabrics.org) on your machine and its driver is up.
> Get the PSID of your product, enter: > ibv_devinfo
        hca_id:                     mlx4_0
        fw_ver:                    2.30.8000
        ...
        board_id:             MT_1100110019  <--- This is the PSID
If the MLNX_EN for Linux or MTNIC Driver is Installed on Your Machine - Use 'mstflint'
mstflint:
1. Get the device location on the PCI bus:

> lspci
    .......
    04:00.0 InfiniBand: Mellanox Technologies MT4099 [ConnectX-3 VPI FDR, IB (56Gb/s) and 40GigE; PCIe3.0 x8 8GT/s; RoHS R6].

2. Get the PSID of your product, enter: > mstflint -d 04:00.0 q
    Image type:           FS2
    FW Version:         2.30.8000
    Device ID:            4099
    Chip Revision:       A1
    Description:     Node Port1 Port2 Sys image
    GUIDs:            0002c90307e25050 0002c90307e25051     
    MACs:            0002c9e25750 0002c9e25751    
    VSD:            N/A             
    PSID:            MT_1090120019
Distinguishing between ConnectX-3 Pro and ConnectX-3 devices
To find out whether your adapter is a ConnectX-3 Pro or a ConnectX-3 device, you can run lspci or mstflint. Both devices share the same PCI Device ID assignments, however they differ in the PCI Device ID: ConnectX-3 Pro shows "4103" whereas ConnectX-3 shows "4099". Once you identify the PSID, PCI Device ID and PCI Revision ID of your adapter, link to the appropriate Firmware Downloads Web page.

    04:00.0 InfiniBand: Mellanox Technologies MT4099 [ConnectX-3 VPI FDR, IB (56Gb/s) and 40GigE; PCIe3.0 x8 8GT/s; RoHS R6].
2. Get the PSID of your product, enter: > mstflint -d 04:00.0 q
    Image type:           FS2
    FW Version:         2.30.8000
    Device ID:            4099
    Chip Revision:       A1

    VSD:            N/A             
    PSID:            MT_1090120019

The output above indicates that the adapter device listed above is ConnectX-3

Note: If you use custom firmware (OEMs only), please go to the OEM custom firmware Web page.

Note: You also need the PSID of your adapter card to identify the correct firmware binary needed.

Note: If you cannot identify your Mellanox product, please contact your Mellanox assigned FAE.
