.SH "NAME"
nvme-fw-download \- Download all or a portion of an nvme firmware image\&.
.SH "SYNOPSIS"
.sp
.nf
\fInvme fw\-download\fR <device> [\-\-fw=<firmware\-file> | \-f <firmware\-file>]
[\-\-xfer=<transfer\-size> | \-x <transfer\-size>]
[\-\-offset=<offset> | \-o <offset>]
.fi
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.sp
The Firmware Image Download command is used to download all or a portion of the firmware image for a future update to the controller\&. The Firmware Image Download command may be submitted while other commands on the Admin Submission Queue or I/O Submission Queues are outstanding\&. The Firmware Image Download command copies the new firmware image (in whole or in part) to the controller\&.
.sp
The firmware image may be constructed of multiple pieces that are individually downloaded with separate Firmware Image Download commands\&. Each Firmware Image Download command includes a Dword Offset and Number of Dwords that specify a Dword range\&. The host software shall ensure that firmware pieces do not have Dword ranges that overlap\&. Firmware portions may be submitted out of order to the controller\&.
.sp
The new firmware image is not applied as part of the Firmware Image Download command\&. It is applied following a reset, where the image to apply and the firmware slot it should be committed to is specified with the Firmware Commit command (nvme fw\-commit <args>)\&.
.SH "OPTIONS"
.PP
\-f <firmware\-file>, \-\-fw=<firmware\-file>
.RS 4
Required argument\&. This specifies the path to the device\(cqs firmware file on your system that will be read by the program and sent to the device\&.
.RE
.PP
\-x <transfer\-size>, \-\-xfer=<transfer\-size>
.RS 4
This specifies the size to split each transfer\&. This is useful if the device has a max transfer size requirement for firmware\&. It defaults to 4k\&.
.RE
.PP
\-o <offset>, \-\-offset=<offset>
.RS 4
This specifies the starting offset in dwords\&. This is really only useful if your firmware is split in multiple files; otherwise the offset starts at zero and automatically adjusts based on the
\fIxfer\fR
size given\&.
.RE
.SH "EXAMPLES"
.sp
.RS 4
.ie n \{\
\h'-04'\(bu\h'+03'\c
.\}
.el \{\
.sp -1
.IP \(bu 2.3

Transfer a firmware size 128KiB at a time:
