For upgrade instructions, please visit the Firmware Upgrade Quick Start page. Alternatively, for those wishing to build from source, please visit the Compiling Firmware page.

All firmware builds are cryptographically signed with the current Raptor Computing Systems firmware signing key at time of release [1]. The intermediate firmware signer keys, in turn, are signed by our master umbrella key [2].

System Package v1.02

Released: 04-20-2018

• BMC: e4c156f12cecd88e9c05f3b99d40d86ec94c3271
• PNOR: 91c79554de24932e4ff8cda75806daf1b3ee8b9e
• FPGA: 7a5d72ff8019160492dfb9d71a1f04a4bd1a14fc

Change Log

• Fix certain DIMMs with unusual SPD frequency values
• Raise CPU core temperature setpoints
• Load less aggressive fan curves for CPU temperature control

Known Issues

• When fast reboot is enabled, the fan controls may stop working after a reboot. A normal reboot (host shutdown, power off, power on, IPL) restores the fan control to normal operation. This is a significant upstream bug in OCC and Raptor Computing Systems is waiting for a fix from IBM.
