After finally getting my metis card properly accessible through PCI, it turned out I need to upgrade the FW to the latest version:
(venv) root@zefir-PC:~/voyager-sdk# axdevice
[libdmabuf.c:1720] Device command returned an error code.
[libdmabuf.c:1721] Consider inspecting the device log via `triton_trace --slog`.
[...]
Device 0: metis-0:a:0 board_type=pcie fwver='v1.2.0-rc2+bl1-stage0' clock=800MHz(0-3:0MHz) mvm=0-3:-1%
(venv) root@zefir-PC:~/voyager-sdk# triton_trace --slog
Version mismatch!
Actual="v1.2.0-rc2+bl1" Expected="v1.2.5"
Please update device firmware before continuing.
I proceeded like described in FW flashing tutorial at github
(venv) root@zefir-PC:~/Axelera.ai/firmware_release_public_v1.2.0# ./flash_update.sh flash_bundle.img
>>> loading new AIPU runtime stage0
>>> the following operations updates the flash content
Make sure to only run this operation if really needed
Also make sure to not power cycle the devices or it might
be rendered non-functional.
do you want to continue? [y/n] y
>>> set flash force flag
>>> flash firmware
>>> reset device
>>> waiting for device to reconnect...
>>> current version: v1.2.0-rc2+bl1-stage0 , expected version: v1.2.0-rc2+bl1-stage0
>>> flash success
(venv) root@zefir-PC:~/Axelera.ai/firmware_release_public_v1.2.0# triton_trace --slog
Version mismatch!
Actual="v1.2.0-rc2+bl1" Expected="v1.2.5"
Please update device firmware before continuing.
So it seems flashing the documented latest FW succeeds, but the referenced FW archive is not the latest. Unfortunately the AWS storage has directory listing disabled, so I was not able to find any more recent archive than that in the tutorial.
Could you please provide the latest FW? Ideally one that silences the fan ;)
