BCM57810 firmware recovery

[prdtabim]

Like the title say I need a procedure ( if exists ) to recover ( reinstall ) the firmware of a HP 530FLR-SFP+ .
This nic is based on BCM57810S and have errors during the load of the driver ( bnx2x ) on Ubuntu 22.04 and the MAC address shows as 00:00:00:00:00:00 . If I try to pull the interface up or change the mac the system respond with a segmentation fault.
lspci show that the card is enumerated in the pcie bus ( 2 interfaces ) but only one in system as enp3s0f1 ( so enp3s0f0 is missing ).
Tried my best with lnxfwnx2 software . The software detect the card but show that the firmware parts are missing and I was unsucessfuly in load or write any of the modules.

If anyone have experience or any clues will be welcome...

What does kernel log (dmesg) say when bnx2x.ko loads? SR-IOV disabled?

To be honest, I've only had problems with these old NetXtreme cards. Would a cheap 546FLR (ConnectX-3 Pro) be a suitable replacement?

No experience here, a quick google, give me these results, maybe it is related? in these topics, they talk about some tools which maybe can be helpfull.

I already tried disabling SR-IOV in bios but the result is the same.
Later night I will insert here the bnx2x errors that show in dmesg.

The nic is detected but with errors. The bnx2x kernel module is loaded.
Using lnxfwnx2 dir command show that only bootcode is present. The other modules are missing.
I believe that if the flash chip is damaged the card will not even be detected.

I have other BCM57810 cards and all works in this mainboard.
I use some connectx-3 / connectx-3 pro ( 10Gb/s and 40Gb/s ) cards without problems.
