"check nve continer fail, ret: 258" Is Reported in Device Logs After the Firmware Version Is Queried
This section applies only to NPU 20.2.X or later.
You can obtain the NPU version from the driver package name. For example, if the driver package name is A300-3000-NPU_Driver-20.0.0-ARM64-Ubuntu18.04.run, the NPU version is 20.0.0.
Symptom
After the driver and firmware have been installed or upgraded, the /usr/local/Ascend/driver/tools/upgrade-tool --device_index -1 --component -1 --version command is run to query the firmware version (/usr/local/Ascend/ is the default installation path of the software package). Then the msnpureport tool is used to collect device logs, but the message "check nve continer fail, ret: 258" is displayed in the messages directory.
Possible Causes
The NVE firmware is stored in four partitions. Partition 0 is used only for upgrade. It is not a valid partition during query. This is a function design.
Solution
This is a proper message of the NVE module, and therefore you do not need to perform any operation.
