That's not
correct. It's the firmware for the Xilinx FPGA. I don't see
why the card should stop working in linux, it will still use the same
firmware as before.
I imagine that the new FPGA image could relocate registers
etc.
After a power down, the firmware is gone. There's no persistent storage
in the old series to my knowledge. It's just the matter which OS
initializes the card when starting up since the firmware survives a warm
start.
