The Cisco Nexus 9000 Series NX-OS mode switches contain several programmable logical devices (PLDs) that provide hardware functionalities in all modules. Cisco provides electronic programmable logic device (EPLD) image upgrades to enhance hardware functionality or to resolve known issues. PLDs include electronic programmable logic devices (EPLDs), field programmable gate arrays (FPGAs), and complex programmable logic devices (CPLDs), but they do not include ASICs. In this document, the term EPLD is used for FPGA and CPLDs.
When Cisco makes an EPLD image upgrade available, these release notes announce their availability, and you can download the EPLD images from https://software.cisco.com/download/navigator.html.
NOTE: Do not perform an EPLD upgrade during an ISSU system upgrade.
NOTE: EPLD version is backward compatible.
The Cisco Nexus 9000 Series switch must be running the Cisco NX-OS operating system
You must be able to access the switch through a console, SSH, or Telnet (required for setting up a switch running in NX-OS mode).
You must have administrator privileges to work with the Cisco Nexus 9000 Series switch.
Each EPLD image that you can download from https://software.cisco.com/download/navigator.html is a bundle of EPLD upgrades. To see the recent updated EPLD versions for the Cisco Nexus 9200, 9300, 9300-EX, 9300-FX, and 9500 platforms, see the following tables.
NOTE: The 9.3(4) release of EPLD, addresses the Secure Boot Hardware Tampering vulnerability for the Nexus 3K and Nexus 9000 Series switches. Please refer to Security Advisory at https://tools.cisco.com/security/center/content/CiscoSecurityAdvisory/cisco-sa-20190513-secureboot.

The following section details updating your EPLD version for affected switches listed in: https://tools.cisco.com/security/center/content/CiscoSecurityAdvisory/cisco-sa-20190513-secureboot
Nexus 9000 Modular chassis with dual supervisor:
IMPORTANT NOTE:
It is required to update both Golden and Primary regions of FPGA to address this particular vulnerability. It is by design, that we don't allow updating both primary and golden at the same time (to avoid programming errors, that may cause switch to not boot, hence only one region is allowed to be programmed per reload).
Please do not attempt to upgrade Golden region of FPGA once it is on a fixed version.
1. Copy the EPLD image to bootflash (e.g. used n9000-epld.9.3.4.img).
3. Assuming standby supervisor is slot 28. Update the Primary FPGA region of standby supervisor.
install epld bootflash:n9000-epld.9.3.4.img module 28
27 0 Supervisor Module N9K-SUP-A active *
28 0 Supervisor Module N9K-SUP-A ha-standby
switch# show version module 28 epld
---------------------------------------
%CARDCLIENT-5-MOD_BOOT_GOLDEN: Module 28 IOFPGA booted from Golden
4. Update the Golden (also called backup) FPGA region of the standby supervisor.
install epld bootflash:n9000-epld.9.3.1.img module 28 golden
Module 28 : IO FPGA [Programming ] : 100.00% ( 64 of 64 total sectors)
Module 28 EPLD upgrade is successful.
------ ------------------ --------------
switch# show version module 28 epld
---------------------------------------
Log below shows what happens when epld upgrade happens for active supervisor.
Module 27 : IO FPGA [Programming] : 100.00% ( 64 of 64 sectors)
Module 27 EPLD upgrade is successful.
------ ------------------ --------------
EPLDs upgraded. Performing switchover.
At the end of the upgrades, switch should boot with primary for both SUPs, logs below
switch# show logging log | grep -i fpga | grep -i 27
2019 Jul 10 07:55:04 switch %CARDCLIENT-5-MOD_BOOT_PRIMARY: Module 27 IOFPGA booted from Primary
switch# show logging log | grep -i fpga | grep -i 28
2019 Jul 10 07:58:01 switch %CARDCLIENT-5-MOD_BOOT_PRIMARY: Module 28 IOFPGA booted from Primary
Nexus 9000 Modular chassis with single supervisor:
IMPORTANT NOTE:
It is required to update both Golden and Primary regions of FPGA to address this particular vulnerability. It is by design, that we don't allow updating both primary and golden at the same time (to avoid programming errors, that may cause switch to not boot, hence only one region is allowed to be programmed per reload).
Please do not attempt to upgrade Golden region of FPGA once it is on a fixed version.
1.Copy the EPLD image to bootflash (e.g. used n9000-epld.9.3.4.img).
2.Assuming the supervisor is in Slot27. Update the Primary FPGA region.
install epld bootflash:n9000-epld.9.3.4.img module 27
Switch#show version module 27 epld
-------------------------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------------------------------------------
BIOS version v08.35(08/31/2018)
Alternate BIOS version v08.32(10/18/2016)
%CARDCLIENT-5-MOD_BOOT_GOLDEN: Module 27 IOFPGA booted from Golden
install epld bootflash:n9000-epld.9.3.4.img module 27 golden
Module 27 : IO FPGA [Programming ] : 100.00% ( 64 of 64 total sectors)
Module 27 EPLD upgrade is successful.
------ ------------------ --------------
SWITCH# show version module 27 epld
-------------------------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------------------------------------------
BIOS version v08.35(08/31/2018)
Alternate BIOS version v08.32(10/18/2016)
At the end of the upgrades, switch should boot with primary for the SUP, log below
switch# show logging log | grep -i fpga | grep -i 27
2019 Jul 10 07:55:04 switch %CARDCLIENT-5-MOD_BOOT_PRIMARY: Module 27 IOFPGA booted from Primary
IMPORTANT NOTE:
If you attempt to upgrade the Golden region of the FPGA once it is on the fixed version, the system will not automatically allow you to upgrade the Golden region of SUP, and will provide the following prompt:
switch# install epld bootflash:n9000-epld.9.2.4.img module all golden
Digital signature verification is successful
Compatibility check:
Module Type Upgradable Impact Reason
------ ----------------- ---------- ---------- ------
22 FM Yes disruptive Module Upgradable
24 FM Yes disruptive Module Upgradable
27 SUP No none Golden Not Upgradable
28 SUP No none Golden Not Upgradable
29 SC Yes disruptive Module Upgradable
30 SC Yes disruptive Module Upgradable
Retrieving EPLD versions.... Please wait.
Images will be upgraded according to following table:
Module Type EPLD Running-Version New-Version Upg-Required
------ ---- ------------- --------------- ----------- ------------
22 FM IO FPGA 0x19 0x19 Yes
24 FM IO FPGA 0x19 0x19 Yes
29 SC IO FPGA 0x17 0x20 Yes
30 SC IO FPGA 0x17 0x20 Yes
Module 27 (EPLD ver 0x29) Golden upgrade not supported
Module 28 (EPLD ver 0x30) Golden upgrade not supported
The above modules require upgrade.
Since both System Controller modules need an upgrade,a chassis reload will happen at the end of the upgrade.
Do you want to continue (y/n) ? [n] y
Nexus 9000 and Nexus 3000 TOR:
IMPORTANT NOTE:
It is required to update both Golden and Primary regions of FPGA to address this particular vulnerability. It is by design, that we don't allow updating both primary and golden at the same time (to avoid programming errors, that may cause switch to not boot, hence only one region is allowed to be programmed per reload).
Please do not attempt to upgrade Golden region of FPGA once it is on a fixed version.
1. Copy the EPLD image to bootflash (e.g. used n9000-epld.9.3.4.img).
2. Update the Primary FPGA region.
install epld bootflash:n9000-epld.9.3.4.img module 1
Expected result: Switch will update EPLD and will reload automatically. Please don't interrupt, power cycle or reload when EPLD update is happening. Switch would boot up with golden FPGA, ‘show version module 1 epld’ would show the old Fpga version for IO, due to this. This is expected.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------------------------------------------
BIOS version v01.14(06/15/2019)
Alternate BIOS version v01.12(07/25/2018)
You can verify this from syslog which would say:
%CARDCLIENT-5-MOD_BOOT_GOLDEN: Module 1 IOFPGA booted from Golden
%CARDCLIENT-2-FPGA_BOOT_GOLDEN: IOFPGA booted from Golden
3. Update the Golden (also called backup) FPGA region.
install epld bootflash:n9000-epld.9.3.4.img module 1 golden
-------------------------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------------------------------------------
BIOS version v01.14(06/15/2019)
Alternate BIOS version v01.12(07/25/2018)
After uprade is complete, switch should boot up with primary, shown logs below
show logging log | grep -i fpga
2019 Jul 9 19:46:11 Deervalley4 %CARDCLIENT-2-FPGA_BOOT_PRIMARY: IOFPGA booted from Primary
2019 Jul 9 19:46:11 Deervalley4 %CARDCLIENT-2-FPGA_BOOT_PRIMARY: MIFPGA booted from Primary
2019 Jul 9 19:46:11 Deervalley4 %CARDCLIENT-5-MOD_BOOT_PRIMARY: Module 1 IOFPGA booted from Primary
2019 Jul 9 19:46:11 Deervalley4 %CARDCLIENT-5-MOD_BOOT_PRIMARY: Module 1 MIFPGA booted from Primary
NOTE: For N3K-C36180YC-R and N3K-C3636C-R, CPU FPGA will have the fix, so look for CPU FPGA instead of IO.

EPLD image number, you can skip the upgrade.
Before you can prepare the EPLD images for installation, you must download them to the FTP or management server.
From a browser, go to https://software.cisco.com/download/navigator.html. |
|
The right side lists the switches in the series that you selected. |
|
Select the switch that you are updating EPLD images for. The Downloads page opens and lists what you can download for the switch that you selected. |
|
The Download Software page lists the available EPLD images for the switch. |
|
CAUTION: When you are trying to upgrade EPLD, it is recommended to use the same version of EPLD as that of installed software. However, if the installed version of EPLD is already later than the software you are installing, NX-OS software does not allow for the downgrading of the EPLD. Newer EPLD is compatible with older NX-OS software. |
|
The Downloads page displays a Download button and lists information for the file. |
|
The Supporting Documents page opens to display the rules for downloading the software. |
|
Read the rules and click Agree. A File Download dialog box opens to ask if you want to open or save the images file. |
|
|
|
To upgrade the EPLD images using CLI commands, follow these guidelines:
■ Before you upgrade any EPLD images, be sure that you have updated the Cisco NX-OS operating system to the level required for the images. Also be sure that you have an EPLD image file.
— You can upgrade a module individually.
— You can upgrade all modules sequentially.
— You can update the images for online modules only.
■ The upgrade process disrupts traffic on the targeted module.
■ Do not insert or remove any modules while an EPLD upgrade is in progress.
CAUTION: When you are trying to upgrade EPLD, it is recommended to use the same version of EPLD as that of installed software. However, if the installed version of EPLD is already later than the software you are installing, it is not required to downgrade the EPLD.
To verify the EPLD upgrades for a switch or its modules, use the show version module slot-number epld command as follows:
■ To verify updates for a module on a modular switch (Cisco Nexus 9500 platform switches), indicate the chassis slot number for slot-number.
switch# show version module 22 epld
■ To verify updates for a top-of-rack switch (Cisco Nexus 9200, 9300, and 9300-EX platforms), use 1 for slot-number.
switch# show version module 1 epld
To display the status of EPLD upgrades on the switch, use the show install epld status command.
When EPLDs are upgraded, the following guidelines and observations apply:
■ If a module is not online, you cannot upgrade its EPLD images.
■ If there are two supervisors that are installed in the switch (Cisco Nexus 9504, 9508, and 9516 switches only), you can either upgrade only the standby or upgrade all modules (including both supervisor modules) by using the following commands:
— install epld bootflash: image module standby-supervisor-slot-number (upgrades only the standby supervisor module)
— install epld bootflash: image module all (upgrades all of the modules)
■ If there is only one supervisor that are installed in the switch, your upgrading or downgrading of EPLD images is disruptive.
