Firmware
========

Version : 1.24.17.0
Date    : 05/27/2020
================================================================================

Fixes
-----

BASE:
- Incremental timeout to handle cases where peer takes more time to link up in 
  non-AN case (fibre cable).
- Update DCBX status when DCBX TLVs are removed from switch.
- Treat Lookuptyp in EXACT_MAC command as "don't care".
- Fixed PTP register misconfiguration during frequency adjustment.
- Fixed PTP frequency adjustment scaling error.
- Fixed passing the correct burst size value to the driver.
- Fixed DCBx regression where DCBx local parameters appears as negotiated
  even after removing the DCBx TLVs from switch.

ETH:
- Fixed a regression which was causing all ingress IPv6 packets to endup in
  default queue.
- Fixed setting FW_PORT_CAP32_802_3_ASM_DIR, and FW_PORT_CAP32_802_3_PAUSE
  bits when cable is removed. This was causing flood of "Requested Port
  Capabilities exceed Physical Port Capabilities" in driver.
- Remove support for IPv6 site local addresses (RFC 4291, section 2.5.7
  deprecated site local addresses).

OFLD:
- Fixed a hang when connection runs into backpressure during RDMA_FINI handling.
- [T6] Coprocessor and inline toe-tls hang issues fixed.
- TOE-TLS: Ignore FW_ULPX_WR if connection is in close state.
- Fixed hash filter creation issue when used with offload.
- Fixed IPv6-UDP segmentation offload.

FOiSCSI:
- Fixed Path MTU reset problem during IPv6 RA processing.


Enhancements
------------

BASE:
- [T6] Dump internal processor memory parity errors in BIST status register.
- FW support added to enable/disable TLS offload NIC support.

================================================================================


Version : 1.24.11.0
Date    : 12/09/2019
================================================================================

Fixes
-----

BASE:
- IP masking not honored in a filter for IPv6 is fixed. New firmware command
  FW_CLIP2_CMD is added.

ETH:
- 100G LR4 module's default fec is corrected to no fec.
- 1G/10G/40G speed change request is accepted directly and FW will disable the
  fec, it won't throw error to driver now.
- Other fec's trial on AN duty cycle is corrected. It will now try one fec per
  bean cycle.
- Do not allow RS FEC in 50G speed.
- Fixed FW_ETH_TX_PKTS2_WR not returning credits to egress/ingress queue.
- Fixed link not coming up when toggle duration is small (less than 1 sec).


Enhancements
------------

BASE:
- New firmware command FW_CLIP2_CMD added to pass the ipv6 mask.

ETH:
- Multiple fecs try is made default.
- Driver can also set one fec or multiple fecs, or disable other fecs try.
