AMD Instinct™ Firmware Release Notes for RMFW Maintenance Update #3.0a

Release Date GPU Production Part Number SKU RMFW Name
7/3/2024 MI250 113-R652XX D65209 AMDD652050Cxx.007

AMD Instinct™ MI250 Accelerator

This RMFW release fixes the following issue:

  1. The default setting on the 3.3V does not activate the embedded uC Brown Out Detector.  This may generate random FLASH corruption, particularly at the FLASH array’s bottom.
    Enabling the 3.3V Brown Out Detector ensures the RM uC resets prior to 3.3V exceeding the proper operating conditions.

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 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.
