Deprecations and Warnings

AMD does not support different versions of firmware (IFWI) running in the same system.  All GPU accelerators should be at the same level independent of hive affiliation.  All GPUs should be updated or rolled back to the same firmware version prior to running operationally.

 

 The AMD FW Flash tool, amdfwflash, is not intended to be used in a Virtual Machine/Guest OS environment. Using the amdfwflash tool in a Virtual Machine/Guest OS may result in an undefined behavior and unsupported configuration.

 

Please note that the Maintenance Update #3 (mu3) version deprecates the Maintenance Update #2 (mu2) and Maintenance Update #1 (mu1) versions.
