The .update file is applied using standard Linux utilities:
- The devlink command is preferred.
Devlink reports progress in more recent versions, and does not block while it is running.
- The ethtool command can instead be used.
Ethtool does not report progress, and blocks while it is running.
Pathnames used for these commands are relative to /lib/firmware.
The xilinx_efct
net driver must be
loaded to use either of these commands.
