| - | 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. | + | 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). |
| - | ===== Obtaining the ROM image ===== | + | ===== Preparing 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 | + | Copy the gPXE ROM image (e.g. //bin/0e1100ca.rom//) to a FAT-formatted floppy disk or USB drive. |
| - | PCI_ROM(0x0e11, 0x00ca, "tg3-hp", "tg3 HP"), | + | ===== Preparing the tools ===== |
| - | The above was added to tg3.c and the rom made with the following command | + | 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. |
| - | make bin/tg3-hp.rom | + | ===== Burning the gPXE ROM ===== |
| - | ===== Preparing the tools ===== | + | Boot from the CD and select the following sequence of options: |
| - | 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) | + | * "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)" | ||
| - | Once we have the rom saved else where we need to obtain the Broadcom Diagnostic utility | + | You should now see an //X:\>// prompt. Type: |
| - | * 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 | + | cd \b57udiag |
| + | b57udiag -ver | ||
| - | ===== Burning the gPXE ROM ===== | + | You should see something like: |
| - | Boot from the CD selecting option 1. | + | X:\>cd \b57udiag |
