<div class="sectionbody">
<div class="paragraph"><p>For the NVMe device given, send an nvme Firmware Commit admin command
and provides the results.</p></div>
<div class="paragraph"><p>The Firmware Commit command is used to verify that a valid firmware
image has been downloaded and to commit that revision to a specific
firmware slot. The host may select the firmware image to commit on the
next controller reset (CC.EN transitions from ‘1’ to ‘0’, a PCI
function level reset, and/or other Controller or NVM Subsystem Reset)
as part of this command. The currently executing firmware revision may
be determined from the Firmware Revision field of the Identify Controller
data structure as indicated in the Firmware Slot Information log page.</p></div>
<div class="paragraph"><p>No further action is automatically taken to reset the device, which is
usually required to complete the activation process. If your kernel and
driver are recent enough, you can commit the firmware by issuing a
reset through Linux sysfs, for example:</p></div>
<div class="listingblock">
<div class="content">
<pre><code> # echo 1 > /sys/class/nvme/nvme0/device/reset</code></pre>
