About 6 month ago I have bought couple of these (about 60USD each) from seller on taobao with the empty firmware or may be nobody even flashed it. It looks like all-new cards but without any sticker except one (barcode and 809K1384291181 for example). I was able to restore it to working condition using Mellanox firmware tools, the only problem was that Mellanox flint tool cannot detect its Original GUID and MAC address and I had to generate it. Cards work fine in couple of DL360g8 at least I was not able to find any problems.
A few days ago I found a seller on taobao who sells these cards at ridiculously low prices (around 10USD)
I have bought a couple of cards again - all the same. New cards with empty firmware.
Tried to flash one - it worked, but I think may be there is a way to completely restore firmware with original base GUIDs and MACs?
If I query card now I get:
(NV_DATA) - CRC IGNORED - this particular one bothers me
Any suggestions?
