Description

This command updates the CPLD on specified cards or all cards attached to the host.

Note:
  • The CPLD update will not take effect until the card is reset. The nicctl reset card command can be used to reset the card without powering it off
  • After CPLD firmware update and the card is reset, the CPLD is reconfigured and logs deleted. The card will go through a power cycle and card logs show the reset reason as 'cold boot'.
.
