| - | ====== 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/0e1100ca.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. Select the card that you wish to burn gPXE into, and identify its card number (from the left-hand "C" column in the listing). | ||
| - | |||
| - | To burn gPXE into the card, type | ||
| - | |||
| - | b57diag -c 0 -pxe c:\0e1100ca.rom | ||
| - | |||
| - | where "-c 0" specifies the card number of the card that you wish to burn gPXE into, and "c:\0e1100ca.rom" is the path to the gPXE ROM image on your FAT-formatted floppy disk or USB drive. You should see something like: | ||
| - | |||
| - | X:\B57UDIAG>b57udiag -c 0 -pxe c:\0e1100ca.rom | ||
