5. Identifying the Flash Image and BMC Firmware

Each Acceleration Stack Release requires a different version of the FIM. Run the fpgainfo tool to identify the FIM (PR Interface ID) and BMC firmware currently loaded. 
sudo fpgainfo fme

Table 4.  Correspondence Between Acceleration Stack, FIM, and OPAE Versions
Note: Intel recommends porting AFUs and workloads to the Intel Acceleration Stack v1.2.1. You must recompile and validate when upgrading to the new release. The Intel Acceleration Stack v1.2.1 cannot be downgraded to previous versions.
Acceleration Stack Version FIM Version (PR Interface ID) OPAE Version BMC Firmware Version
