-====== Burning gPXE into Broadcom BCM57xx-based cards ====== 
  
-<​referback>​This page is part of the [[:​romburning|ROM-burning]] tutorial.</​referback>​ 
- 
-The Broadcom Diagnostic Utility set allows you to update the expansion ROM images in Broadcom BCM57xx gigabit network cards (and rebranded Broadcom cards such as the HP NC7771). 
- 
-===== Preparing the ROM image ===== 
- 
-Copy the gPXE ROM image (e.g. //​bin/​pci_0e11_00ca.rom//​) to a FAT-formatted floppy disk or USB drive. 
- 
-===== Preparing the tools ===== 
- 
-Download the Broadcom Diagnostics Utility from [[http://​www.broadcom.com/​docs/​driver_download/​570x/​B57udiag-10.53.iso]]. ​ Burn this image to CD using your favourite CD burning method. 
- 
-===== Burning the gPXE ROM ===== 
- 
-Boot from the CD and select the following sequence of options: 
- 
-  - "​Continue to boot FreeDOS from CD-ROM"​ 
-  - "​Install to harddisk using FreeDOS setup" (which won't actually install anything to your hard disk) 
-  - The language of your choice 
-  - "Run FreeDOS from CD-ROM (return to command prompt)"​ 
- 
-You should now see an //X:\>// prompt. ​ Type 
- 
-    cd b57udiag 
-    b57udiag -ver 
- 
-You should see something like 
- 
-    X:\>cd b57udiag 
-    X:​\B57UDIAG>​b57udiag -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 ​   ​

-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 
- 
-<​file>​ 
-    A:​\>​b57diag.exe -c 0 -pxe c:​\tg3-hp.rom
