- | ====== 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. | ||

- | 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 | ||
