Ascend AI Processor driver and firmware

Refer to Version Mapping, select the firmware version that matches MindX 3.0.0 based on the actual hardware device model, and visit the supportE/support link of the version.

Compute nodes

For details, see the Driver and Firmware Installation and Upgrade Guides of hardware products to obtain the guide of the corresponding version.

After the software is installed, perform the following operation to check the Ascend AI Processor driver.

Run the following command on a compute node to check the driver version. The driver version must match the model protection component version.

/usr/local/Ascend/driver/tools/upgrade-tool --device_index -1 --system_version

For example, if the driver version is 21.0.4, the command output is as follows:

{
Get system version(21.0.4) succeed, deviceId(0)
 {"device_id":0, "version":21.0.4}
Get system version(21.0.4) succeed, deviceId(1)
 {"device_id":1, "version":21.0.4}
...
}
