| - | ====== Burning gPXE into Broadcom BCM57xx based cards ====== | ||
| - | <referback>This page is part of the [[:romburning|ROM-burning]] tutorial.</referback> | ||
| - | |||
| - | Various manufacturers supply their own flash utilites, unfortuantly these do not appear to work correctly with etherboot, and due to this, we require the Broadcom "diagnostic" utility set. | ||
| - | |||
| - | ===== Obtaining the ROM image ===== | ||
| - | |||
| - | In order to build the rom for my HP card the PCI id had to be added to src/drivers/net/tg3.c | ||
| - | |||
| - | PCI_ROM(0x0e11, 0x00ca, "tg3-hp", "tg3 HP"), | ||
| - | |||
| - | The above was added to tg3.c and the rom made with the following command | ||
| - | |||
| - | make bin/tg3-hp.rom | ||
| - | |||
| - | ===== Preparing the tools ===== | ||
| - | |||
| - | Now that we have the image, I would suggest copying this to media that will be accessable from FreeDOS (such as a FAT formated USB Drive) | ||
| - | |||
| - | Once we have the rom saved else where we need to obtain the Broadcom Diagnostic utility | ||
| - | * FreeDOS with BRCM570x diagnostitcs utility, [[http://www.broadcom.com/support/ethernet_nic/driver-sla.php?driver=570x-diag]] | ||
| - | |||
| - | Burn this image to CD using your favourite CD burning method | ||
| - | |||
| - | ===== Burning the gPXE ROM ===== | ||
| - | |||
| - | Boot from the CD selecting option 1. | ||
| - | |||
| - | At the next prompt choose the "Install to HD using FD setup" option, please note this won't actually install to your HDD without more confirmation | ||
| - | |||
| - | At the next screen, choose your language, and then select "Run FreeDOS from CD ROM (return to command prompt)" | ||
| - | |||
| - | You should now have an X:\ prompt | ||
| - | |||
| - | From here change your current working directory to X:\B57UDIAG\ | ||
| - | |||
| - | From here you will want to execute the following command | ||
| - | B67UDIAG.exe -ver | ||
| - | |||
| - | You should see something like | ||
| - | |||
| - | X:\B57UDIAG\>b57diag.exe -ver | ||

| - | This shows the list of broadcom cards in the machine. We in this case have only the one card. | ||
| - | We want to check the current payload in the card, so we need to run the following | ||
| - | |||
| - | |||
| - | X:\B57UDIAG\>b57diag.exe -c 0 -dir | ||

| - | | ||
| - | This lists the current NRAM filesystem on the card. Please note the PXE rom on this card is already a gPXE rom, however the same process holds true for replacing the rom | ||
| - | |||
| - | In order to burn the rom we need to run the following | ||
| - | A:\>b57diag.exe -c 0 -pxe c:\tg3-hp.rom | ||

| - | Reading current NVRAM ... OK | ||
| - | Programing... 512 | ||
| - | | ||
| - | Totally 1 card(s) has been programmed | ||
| - | |||
| - | Reboot the machine and enter the BIOS setup. You should see gPXE show up as an option in your BIOS's boot selection menu. | ||

| - | Congratulations on successfully burning gPXE into your network card! | ||
