I want to update the firmware of my Talos 2 because the machine is really noisy, with fans are permanently running high (ipmitools shows 2 fans at 8800-8900 RPM) ... and I saw that there was changes (a fix) in firmwares 1.0x.
I would like to know the current version of the low-level elements (BMC, firmware ...). I only found the tool lsmcode (from the package lsvpd) that displays a list of elements with their git hash:
Version of System Firmware :
Product Name : OpenPOWER Firmware
Product Version : talos-v1.20-161-g76f78f4
Product Extra : skiboot-bc106a0
Product Extra : occ-a8d0767
Product Extra : hostboot-884b60b
Product Extra : buildroot-2017.11.2-8-g4b6188e0f2
Product Extra : machine-xml-221192a
Product Extra : sbe-a389a5d
Product Extra : petitboot-v1.7.1-p836d356
Product Extra : linux-v4.15.9-openpower1-p9e03417
In the page that lists the different update files
https://wiki.raptorcs.com/wiki/Talos_II/Firmware, archiives for BMC, PNOR and FPGA have an associated hash but I can't make them match with anything that I know.
So, are there other solutions to get the version of these elements?
I access BMC with ssh (using the web interface, it refuses to get even a login page): it is possible to get its version and possibly the firmware version from there?
Before upgrading, I just would like to know from where I start.
Please give me some advices: Maybe you will think that I can only update the firmware directly to the latest version (v2.10) whatever are the current element versions ...
