Hi,
I got an XL710 where it is sitting on 4.16 on which I'm unable to update its firmware. I've tried firmware update tools from 4.42 to 6.05 which are saying "update not available".
I need to update its driver so that I can run latest Cisco Trex version's for pumping traffic.
here are the card details:

I've already tried modifying the nvmupdate.cfg file but I'm concerned that I might brick the card.
Please let me know how to go about updating this card.
Thanks
Ganesh.
