NVME-MICRON-SELECT(1)

NAME
nvme-micron-selective-download - Performs selective firmware download that allows user select which firmware binary to update for 9200 devices. This requires power cycle the update completes.

SYNOPSIS

nvme [<global-options>] micron selective-download <device>
                        [--fw=<FILE>, -f <FILE>]
                        [--select=<flag>, -s <flag>]

DESCRIPTION

This command uses micron vendor specific nvme commands to download given firmware image to the 9200 device to update selected or all portions of firmware image.

The <device> parameter is mandatory and may be either the NVMe character device (ex: /dev/nvme0), or a namespace block device (ex: /dev/nvme0n1).

This will only work on Micron devices devices of model number 9200. Support for new devices be added subsequently. Results for any other device are undefined.

OPTIONS

-f <FILE>, --fw=<FILE>
    name of the firmware image file

-s <flag>, --select=<flag>
    flag that has following values

OOB
    This updates the OOB and main firmware\n"

EEP
    This updates the eeprom and main firmware\n"

ALL
    This updates the eeprom, OOB, and main firmware";

GLOBAL OPTIONS

The following options are defined at the top-level nvme command and are available to this subcommand:

--dry-run
    Print the command that would be executed, but do not actually execute it.

--no-ioctl-probing
    Disable probing for 64-bit IOCTL support.

--no-retries
    Disable retry logic on transient errors.

-o <fmt>, --output-format=<fmt>
    Set the reporting format to normal, tabular, 'json, or binary. Only one output format may be used at a time.

--output-format-version=<version>
    Select the output format version. Version 1 uses the original field naming, while version 2 (default) provides more consistent and script-friendly field names.

--timeout=<ms>
    Set the timeout for the command in milliseconds.

-v, --verbose
    Increase the level of detail in the output. May be specified multiple times to further increase verbosity.

These options can also be set as machine-wide defaults in nvme-cli.conf(5). A command-line flag always overrides the file.

EXAMPLES

    • Update OOB and main firmware

        # nvme micron selective-download /dev/nvme0 --fw=firmware_bin --select=OOB
        # nvme micron selective-download /dev/nvme0 -f firmware_bin -s OOB

    • Update OOB and main firmware

        # nvme micron selective-download /dev/nvme0 --fw=firmware_bin --select=EEP
        # nvme micron selective-download /dev/nvme0 -f firmware_bin --s EEP

    • Update eeprom, OOB and main firmware

        # nvme micron selective-download /dev/nvme0 --fw=firmware_bin --select=ALL
        # nvme micron selective-download /dev/nvme0 -f firmware_bin --s ALL
