Release Notes
Broadcom BCM570X UEFI Diagnostics for IA-32 and x64

Current Release
================

Version 15.4.08 (2012.07.30)

Problems:
-----------
1. Problem:
run ‘seprg o57788c2.07’ after ‘seprg o57788c2.05’report ‘Checking
selfbootII OTP Content ….: invalid’.
Cause:
the new patch size exceed the OTP size. Previous b57diags
reported no error if the new patch exceed the OTP max size, but
it did NOT program the data that exceed the max size. Thus
caused an unfinished programming and failure checking.
Fix:
Improve b57diag to check available OTP space and report error
“!!! ERROR, OTP space is not big enough” if the space is insufficient.
The programming is also stopped so that the OTP is not messed up
with an unfinished patch.

Enhancement
-----------
1. CQ64556
Remove all A1 silence mode support for 57788, no more SW OTP. All OTP
data that is displayed, written and read, are from OTP memory directly.
2. CQ64560
During OTP write procedures, enhance current code to write/read/compare
each DW up to three times if the read back value is not equal the
written value. Report error and exit b57diag if they don't match
after 3 times.

Version 15.4.07 (2012.07.20)

Problems:
-----------
1. Problem (CQ64627)
b57diag: Please remove the TPH in secfg menu on 5718.
Fix:
Remove TPH in 5718.

2. Problem (CQ64562)
PXE: customized DID combined pxe can't be programmed to correct
device.
Fix:
Remove unnecessary message when vendor and device id are the same
when programming PXE image since no update is required.

3. Problem (CQ64642)
With '-sn' option specified in command line, "pattern" substring
field doesn't work as expected. B57diag only checks for SN to be
22 characters long, but failed to verify the beginning chars.
Cause:
Existing b57diag only fails when all pattern didn't match.
Fix:
if any pattern doesn't match, b57diag fail the string.

Enhancement
-----------
1. Update CQ64126 Secfg option 60 disappear on 5719/5720 fiber.
2. CQ64642:
a. Please allow only numeric, 0-9, and uppercase letters, A-Z to be
string that gets input from -sn command line option.
b. support 3 SN pattern, each has larger length. Previous b57diag
support 2 SN patterns, each one has length of 6.
c. support 3 OUI pattern. Previous b57diag support 2 OUI patterns.

Version 15.4.06 (2012.07.12)

Problems:
-----------
1. Problem (CQ64126)
Secfg option 60 disappear on 5719/5720 fiber.
Cause:
Too many options printing out at once.
Fix:
Add a Press any key to continue message between options.

2. Problem (CQ64191)
To reset 5715NIC then it will show "Firmware timout 0 OK".
Fix:
To restore prior reset setting.

3. Problem (CQ64331)
5718 displayed Cannot gain access to flash, SwArbit: 3100 after
programming dumped image and reset both ports.
Cause:
Besides the primary port, the secondary port needs to reload new fw.
Fix:
Add code to let seconday port reload the new fw code.

Enhancement
-----------
1. Add TPH feature in secfg menu.
2. CQ64530 57766 Family-Please remove EEE option with selfboot patch.

Version 15.4.05 (2012.06.18)

Enhancement
-----------
1. Cq63932, enhancement request
To enable/disable Alternate PME Suppression for 57761 and 57762.
Fix:
add secfg option 83 to config NVRAM offset 0x78[31] as Alternate
PME Suppression for 57761 and 57762.

2. Add 5717c0 support.

Version 15.4.04 (2012.06.13)

Problems:
---------
1. Problem (CQ63399)

Fix:
Implement fix as requested.

3. Problem (CQ63912)
B57uEFIDiag: The log/nolog for time and date always show
"Thu Jan 1 00:00:xx 1970".
Fix:
Use the real systime when invoking log/nolog command.

Version 15.4.03 (2012.05.18)

Problems:
---------
1. Problem (CQ63012)
TCL Environment Variables for "[dir]" command will returned bad
code: 178 with SelfBoot Patch.
Fix:
Diag only print outs error messages instead of return TCL status
code.

2. Problem (CQ63361)
Command 'apelog' was not supported in UEFI diag.
Fix:
Add 'apelog' command into UEFI diag.

Enhancement
-----------
1. CQ63331 - Add F1 character as an alternate way to terminate the
'ledblink' command in B57diag.

Version 15.4.02 (2012.05.08)

1. Problem (CQ62327)
Failed to program NCSI fw after running FLR test.
Cause:
MiscHostCtrl register(0x68) was cleared after issuing an FLR so that
Indirect access was disabled.
Fix:
Setup MiscHostCtrl register again after an FLR.

2. Problem (CQ62356)
FLR test failed on OEM systems.
Cause:
According to PCIe spec and simulation, there must be at least 100ms
delay before checking the completion of FLR.
Fix:
Add 100ms delay before checking the FLR result.

3. Problem (CQ62497)
With specific customer OTP image, the xD/MS functions are disabled,
but related secfg config items are still seen.
Fix:
Hide xD/MS related config if 0x3600 shows that function 2/3 are hidden;

4. Problem (CQ63011)
TCL Environment Variables $::nx1(WOL) not work with SelfBoot Patch.
Cause:
This is a code problem.
Fix:
Update code to get the configuration and set TCL variables correctly.

5. Problem (CQ62750)
Fail to program NCSI FW with blank NVRAM on some NICs. Error
message "Invalid ASF file format!" is displayed after program BC
and NCSI FW.
Cause:
Existing b57diag rely on HW config in shared memory 0xb58 to detect
if the APE present. If APE present, b57diag program APE FW, otherwise
b57diag program ASF FW. If the NVRAM content is invalid, shared
memory is not set by BC so that the 0xb58 value is random; meaning,
some boards have ape present bit set, some board have ape present bit
cleared.

If the ape present bit is cleared, b57diag try to program ASF FW, but
failed because of the format. If there is a 'reset', the BC kick in
and set the bit correctly.
Fix:
new version check shared memory signature, if it is valid, use 0xb58
ape present bit; if the signature is invalid, return APE present if
the device is 5761/5718/5719/5720.

6. Problem:
Integrate change from v15.21b: A few 5719 NVRAM get corrupted after
entering b57diag engineering mode.
Cause:
During NVRAM writing, if the system out of power or the power dropped
below some voltage, the write operation cannot be finished correctly.
Random data may be wrote to the NVRAM.
Fix:
If 5718/5719 has 2M pin strap, previous b57diag get the NVRAM size
by writing to some locations. It wrote to NVRAM 4 times if the chip
is 5719. the workaround is to avoid the NVRAM writing if the NVRAM
0xf2 has valid data. if the NVRAM 0xf2 is zero or 0xffff, write to
NVRAM once to get the NVRAM size.

7. Problem:
Fixed the problem that OEM VPD CRC calculation is incorrect.
Cause:
Previous version did exclude byte 2 and 3.
Fix:
Exclude byt2 and byte 3 and reduce the VPD data length go get the
correct CRC.

Application note:
-----------------
VMAC is implemented after version 15.4.00. Previous b57diag read NVRAM
address when running 'device' command; starting from v15.4.00, b57diag
check register 0x410 first. If user change NVRAM MAC via secfg command,
MAC address might not get updated via 'dev' command. User need to reset
the chip after 'secfg' to have the change take effect immediately.

Enhancement
-----------
1. CQ62895, add SGMII support to 5718/5719/5720

Two NVRAM control bits per port are defined in Extended Configuration
(nvram offset 0x278, 0x27c, 0x280 and 0x284).
Bit 13: It's used to enable/disable SGMII Mode
0b: SGMII Mode Disable;
1b: SGMII Mode Enable.
Bit 14: It's used to select SGMII link is forced or auto negotiated:
0b: Auto negotiated;
1b: Forced.

'secfg' option 85 and 86 are added to config SGMII.
85. SGMII {Disable(0), Enable(1)}
86. SGMII Force Link {Disable(0), Enable(1)}

With these configuration, every time PHY get reset, b57diag set PHY
register 0x10[4](autodet_en) to ~NVRAM bit 14 SGMII_Force_Link_En;
set 0x10[0](SGMII_MODE) to ~NVRAM bit 13 SGMII_En.

2. Add command option 'nvsize -f' to force b57diag get the NVRAM size by
writing to NVRAM. the command only applies to 5718/5719.

3. CQ62834, Enhancement is needed for b57diag to calculate OEM UUID in
VPD block 0 and then calculate the new CRC for block 0. MAC address
needs to be read from board and put at location 0x640 as before.

Algorithm to generate UUID is added.

Version 15.4.01 (2012.04.01)

Problems:
---------
1. Problem (CQ62339)
b57diag overwriting BDA when executing with '-l' (log) option.
Cause:
scrn.buffer is not initialized in scrn_init() before it was used
hence corrupting BDA region.
Fix:
Initialize scrn.buffer before printing out characters.

2. fixed the problem that OTP version is not correctly displayed for
57785/57765/57795/57761/57781/57791 B0.

Enhancements:
-------------
1. Add 57766/57762/57786/57782 A1 support.

Version 15.4.00 (2012.03.26)

Problems:
---------
1. Problem (CQ61999)
Incorrect value "0" returned after typing “secfg c=” twice.
Cause:
B57diag takes the value of zero when "secfg c=" is entered.
Fix:
Report back the correct value when "secfg c=" is entered.

2. Problem (CQ61951)
On customer blade server, the b57diag shows the NVRAM macs instead of
vmacs on the device list.
Cause:
This was as designed. b57diag used to read MAC address from NVRAM.
Fix:
Check VMAC first. If it is non zero, display VMAC. Otherwise, display
the MAC address from NVRAM.

Enhancements:
-------------
1. Added "mancfg -N" option to disable the notification of the firmware
of any configuration changes. For use with provisioning of private
key before SSL certificate.
2. Added support for ASIC_REV_57786.
3. Added functions to get major OTP image version:
a. version 1.xx is for Aspen+;
b. version 2.xx is for Aspen+ A1;
c. version 3.xx is for Aspen C0;
d. version 4.xx is for Aspen C1;
4. Starting from this release, b57diag will use 3 digit version scheme
such as 15.4.xx instead of previous two digits scheme.

Version 15.30 (2012.03.02)

Problems:
---------
1. Problem (CQ61903)
Error message "Cannot gain access to flash, SwArbit: 3100" is seen
after C4 test and before D group test.
Cause:
C4 is followed immediately by group D which will reset RxCPU and
APE again. At this time, the previous APE reset might not be completed
and the Software Arbitration might be locked out.
Fix:
Wait 500ms after APE CPU reset.

Version 15.29 (2012.02.29)

Enhancements:
-------------
1. CQ61870
Customer is requesting b57diag doing multiple D3 (external loopback) test
in addition to default iteration of 1. Option '-loopd3' is added to server
this purpose. Also '-loopd3' command line parameter is independent of
'-chkled' command line parameter, it will only request the operator to
verify the LED color once at default iteration.

2. CQ61845
Added support for programming ARP Batch firmware, 'seprg -B';
The current way of programming the ARP Batch firmware to the NVRAM
was to use the ASF firmware method which require 4 directory entries.
The ARP Batch firmware only require one directory entry.

Version 15.28 (2012.02.24)

Problems:
---------
1. Problem (CQ61723)
If via "secfg" and select item 7.Subsystem Device ID (0,1) to change, it will
show up "No parameter entered".
Cause:
Implementing enhancement CQ61588 causing this failure.
Fix:
Roll back the changes made in CQ61588.

2. Problem (CQ61754)
cfg file restore will get "Invalid parameter entered" failure.
Cause:

Fix:
Disable EEE mode during the sender/responder test.

4. This version is synchronized with B57diag V15.31.

Version 15.27 (2012.02.22)

Enhancements:
-------------
1. CQ61588 - Please deny out of range/invalid input in secfg with
5718/5719/5720.
2. This version is synchronized with B57diag V15.30.

Version 15.26 (2012.02.14)

1. Problem (CQ61537)
SB_Patch cfg file restore incorrectly at item g. Cable Sense.
Cause:
Diag took the compliment value of item g when restoring cfg file.
Fix:
Restore the item g value as it was in the cfg file.

Version 15.25 (2012.02.06)

1. Problem (CQ61385)
It failure at "C4. MII Test" on B5719 when B5719 Adapter and B5720 Adapter co-exist.
Cause:
Management firmware changes registers value during MII registers read/write test.
Fix:
Disable management firmware during C4 MII register test.

Version 15.24 (2012.01.19)

1. Problem (CQ60990)
Leagcy bootcode without iscsi fw mba config boot protocol missing "None" field.
Fix:
Add the "None" field for Legacy bootcode without iscsi fw.

2. Problem (CQ60992)
57766 should remove the MS SDID.
Fix:
Remove MS SDID in secfg menu for 57766.

3. Problem (CQ61006)

Enhancements:
-------------
1. Add support for 57762 family device.

Version 15.22 (2011.12.13)

Problems:
---------
1. Problem: (CQ60261)
The system will get "F3" failure when run stress test over-night
on an OEM system.
Cause:
Heart beat timer will start counting to zero after been written.
Fix:
Omit testing heart beat timer.

Version 15.21 (2011.12.09)

Problems:
---------
1. Problem:
On a customer system, register test failed on 0x170 "R/W bit
0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7 didn't get set after writing one"
Cause:
5761 register spec says 0x170[7:0] "bit 6 of Register 7c04 needs
to be set to a 1 to allow this parameter to be R/W. Otherwise,
this field is Read-Only". AE confirmed that 0x7c04[6] is cleared
on that system.
Fix:
b57diag need to check 0x7c04[6] before test 0x170;
set 0x170[7:0] to R/O if 0x7c04[6] is cleared.

2. Problem: (CQ57848)
The system will auto reboot when run uefidiag stress test over-night
on an OEM system.
Fix:
Roll back to the previous version way of running the APE CPU test.

Version 15.20 (2011.12.02)

Problems:
---------
1. Problem: (CQ59898)
Program image that generated from 'sedump xx.bin' gets error
message: "2nd Boot Code 00000000 81D0797C Failed "
Cause:
The error message is caused by the latest BC code size.
Previously, the BC size is relatively small, so b57diag use
default size 0x3000 Bytes if there is no '-l' specified.
Now, the BC is about 20K bytes, so 0x3000 is not enough.
'sedump xx.bin' generate an image that is not complete
so the CRC calculation is wrong.
Fix:
Increase the default size to 0x6000 (~25k).

2. Problem: (CQ59955)
FW CRCs are not checked completely when user program an image.
Cause:
CRCs for Manufacture II block and FWs in extended directory
are not checked.
Fix:
Add CRC check for Manufacture II block and FWs in extended
directory block when user program an image.

3. Problem: (CQ59910)
b57diag doesn't check the syntax of MAC address input when using
"-m - automac" command options which could end up programming an
invalid label as MAC address on the board.
Fix:
Add syntax check of MAC address input to catch invalid entry

Enhancements:
-------------
1. CQ57533: remove all hot plug related config settings and validation
for newer devices since we don't support it anymore.

Version 15.07 (2011.11.23)

Problems:
---------
1. Problem: (CQ59877)
When user execute command 'sedump xx.bin' , error message
"2nd Boot Code 4200000E E1379AC1 Failed!" is seen.
Cause:
An incorrect checking is introduced when fix another problem.
Fix:
revert the change

2. Problem: (CQ59780)
Garbage characters appended in the test log with the use of
"-chkled" command option.
Fix:
Continuous write test result to test log instead of writing
it once when exiting b57diag.

Enhancements:
-------------
1. CQ58698 - Update the logic to control APE_GPIO6 pin for ASIC#2
access to I2C bus on an OEM system.
2. CQ59859 - B57diag needs to add to secfg the field "Backed Up MAC
Address".

Version 15.06 (2011.11.17)

Problems:
---------
1. Problem:
PXE get enabled after source a configuration file that with item
8(PXE) disabled.
Cause:
b57diag associate item 26 to PXE disable/enable. if item 26 (MBA
Boot Protocol) set to 0(PXE)-3, b57diag enable the PXE
automatically.

Fix:
Remove the association between item 26 and PXE, now, option #8 and
#26 are independent of each other.

2. Problem: (CQ59718)
One customer reports nictest D1 failure issue under certain steps
to program NVRAM image.
Fix:
To perform a global chip reset after new firmware is programmed
due to the constraint of "not disable FASTBOOT" in 5718, 5719,
and 5720.

3: Problem:
CCM (Comprehensive Configuration Manager) image's header is not
stripped off when it is programmed into NVRAM.
Fix:
Remove 20B header and validate image signature and type before
programming.

Enhancements:
-------------
1. Support the specific CRC algorithm and new VPD spec for the command
'ivpdprg'.
2. CQ59110 - Provide the access to Network SerDes adjustment parameter
in 5718. Defined option 79 and 80 for Network SerDes Pre-emphasis
and TX Amplitude in secfg command.

Version 15.05 (2011.11.10)
1. Problems:
On some UEFI system, error message "assertion "tmp != NULL" failed:
file "sys\open.c", line 172" is seen when user load b57diag from USB
drive. If user load the b57diag from default shell, there is no
problem, for example, 'shell>fs0:\b57diag64'.
Cause:
Some EFI bios has the environment size over 44K, which exceed EFI
tool kit boundary 4K and cause the device mapping table created
incorrectly.
Fix:
Increase the MAX_ENVIRONMENT_DATA in \lib\libc\efi\env.c to 64k
in EFI toolkit

2. Enhancement:
Add CCM (Comprehensive Configuration Manager) programming capability:
. ‘seprg –C' option to program the CCM image (It is capital C);
. 4 bytes CRC is appended at the end of image;
. Use ‘dir’ to display its version.

Version 15.04 (2011.11.03)
Problems:
b57diag prints debug message.
Fix:
remove the debug message.

Version 15.03 (2011.11.02)

with option.

Enhancements
------------
1. Disassociate -sn and -vpd command with -sysop command.

2. CQ59222
requirement: OEM device has two chips, each chip has different
SDID; When we program the image to the chip, the image with
specific SDID should go to specific chip. We are using GPIO 0 to
tell which chip is the first one.
- Chip#1: GPIO 0 is high.
- Chip#2: GPIO 0 is low.

3. Display device ID 57100
Display device ID 57100 if the device ID is Aspen Dummy ID 0x16A3.

Fix:
Add M45PE16 support in the auto-sense mode.

2. Problem: (CQ57400)
NCSI NX1: 5720 unable to reestablish NCSI pass-through after running nictest.
Cause:
NCSI firmware is not run after running nictest.
Fix:
Restart NCSI firmware after nictest finishes.

3. Problem: (relate to CQ57013)
After 'upgfrm -b' bootcode from a special customer image, the port3&4
MAC addresses and some NVRAM setting are lost.
Cause:
The power budge count is deferent between BC and image. Diag didn't
restore the Manufacture block II and the shared config correctly if
this setting is different.
Fix:
Restore the Manufacture block II and the shared config correctly.

IDs, which caused this problem.
Fix:
Do not regard the default IDs as 0x0 if the fields of IDs were already used.

3.Problem (CQ50300)
The b57diag reports incorrect NVRAM type with 4M/8M parts after programm bootcode.

Cause:
The 2M/4M/8M parts share same pin strap as the 2M part. Instead of using pin
strap, We use special method to determine the actual NVRAM size and write the
size to NVRAM location 0xf0. 'semode' command read the NVRAM location 0xf0 to get
the NVRAM size. Bootcode programming can wipe out the value in 0xf0 that is
calculated during chip init. 'semode' will get incorrect NVRAM size after that.
Fix:
Recalculate and update the NVRAM location 0xf0 with the correct NVRAM size after
program bootcode.

multiple times.
Cause:
Logic problem
Fix:
Correct the code logic.

2.Problem (CQ49873)
After MBA is programmed, 5717 NVRAM can be lockup on a specific system.
Cause:
B57diag disable rxCPU fastboot, so when there is GRC reset, rxCPU will
need to fetch code from NVRAM. NVRAM lock up is due to timing when both
port rxCPU hitting nvram right after ctrl-alt-del.
Fix:
The workaround is to not disable fastboot in B57diag for 5717.

3.Problem (CQ50518)
5718B0 port 1 sechksum will fail after “iscsiprg" and "iscsiprg -v",
the problem only be seen on port 1.

. add software ECC ability.

6. Problem:
With three party running together (b57diag, BC, and NCSI), mutex lock
occurs sometimes.
Cause:
This is time sensitive problem. When multiply party running, there
is higher possibility that the mutex get locked because there are so many
things happen together, halt rx cpu, halt ape cpu, reboot BC, reboot NCSI,
mutex request and grant.
Fix:
Change the code to reset mutex block wherever the Rx CPU or APE-CPU get
halted.

7. Problem (CQ49619)
To import config record(s) from cfg data file will show “0 configuration
records imported from xx.cfg
Cause:
Incorrect import file name extension parsing logic - was treating all files
as though they were ".ini" format.
Fix:
fixed the parsing logic.

8. Enhancement (CQ49691)
Add option 77 and 78 in 'secfg' to disable/enable SD/xD functions.

Version 14.09 (2010.8.12)
Fix:
1. Problem (CQ49291)
Please hide the card reader SSID options in OTP's secfg menu for Aspen non-card reader skus.
Cause:
B57diag does not differentiate non-card reader skus with card reader skus.
Fix:
Display SSID info according to different Aspen skus.

2. Problem
PHY loopback failure on 5718 port0.
Cause:
B57diag resets adapter when loadd driver. During the reset, existing
b57diag read 3664 to determine if the port is serdes or copper. But during
reset, port 0 3664[5] is cleared somehow so the phy_id get changed from 8
to 1.
Fix:
Don't use shard memory to determine the phy type for sawtooth.

3. Problem (CQ45405)
B57Diag: 5718 fails C group test in Manufacturing Mode on second port.
Cause:
global.optSWRestCPMU gets set to TRUE after port 0 has been run.
Fix:
Move the original fix from test_doAllTests to startAllTests.

4. Problem (CQ49191)
Invalid Character is displayed in ISCSI Boot version in the NVRAM
Directory.
Cause:
String pointer is not correctly aligned. It is the same issue as in CQ31958.
Fix:
Include Aspen family for the CQ31958 fix.

5. Problem (CQ48606)
B57diag doesn't update ROMHDR checksum correctly when option "-n" is used.
Cause:
Changed the configuration data after generating and updated CRC.
Fix:
To change the specific configuration data before updating CRC.

Enhancement:
1. Fix CQ48864 Display Family Version of Firmware for OEM system.
2. Fix CQ49077 Add sub system device ID for the card reader functions in nvram config menu.
3. Fix CQ48401 OTPChk will show a blank red dialog with appropriate warning text, if NIC is configured for EEPROM.
4. Support new Aspen B0 changes.

Version 14.08 (06/14/2010)
1. Problem (CQ48282):
NCSI pass through traffic is stopped after 'loadd' command.
Cause:
"Enable APE TX/RX path" setting is reset during 'loadd'. It caused the
traffic stopped.
Fix:
If the device has Ape, preserve APE tx/rx path setting after 'loadd';

2. Problem (CQ48292)
5718 Bootcode: BC v1.18 fails b57diag PCI Cfg Register Test;
Cause:
In bc V1.18, the Function Level Reset is enabled by default in each
Function. With Function Level Reset is enabled, set bit 15 of the Reg
0xB4 will reset the Function and resulting in losing the Host memory
access. That means, B57diag cannot access registers via memory access.
During Nictest A5, B57diag will set Bit 15 of Reg 0xB4 and reset the
function. Reg 0xB4 also get reset and then fail the test.
Fix:
Skip writing 1 to Bit 15 of Reg 0xB4.

Version 14.07 (06/10/2010)
1. Problem (CQ47938)
5785: 50612 PHY Failed to link at 10M speed.
Cause:
GPHY RXC clock is running at incorrect speed (25MHz instead of 2.5MHz)
when GPHY Inband function is enabled and device is linked at 10Mbps.
Fix:
Forced RXC to 2.5MHz when device is linked at 10Mbps.

2. Problem (CQ48141)
5785: 50612 Link Flap while setting the speed to 100M.
Cause:
GreenMode is enabled with force link at 100Mbps.
Fix:
Disable EEE advertisement and autogreen mode when speed is forced at
100F/100H.

3. Problem (CQ48003)
Run nictest on 5724 will failed in "G2" APE packet loopback test.
Cause:
5724 only have one port while ad5717.bin test two port if it is
5717 device family.
Fix;
Only test one port if it is 5724 device in ad5717.bin.
released new ad5717.bin v2.06.

4. Enhancement:
. Display apediag firmware filename and version if APE test involved.

5. Enhancement:
Added secfg menu item 60 and 61 for NVRAM and image configuration.
Item 60 is for NC-SI package ID assignment method while item 61 is
for NC-SI package ID assigned value.
6. Enhancement:
In 'seprg', if selfboot bc will be programmed and the device had
legacy bootcod, reserve the NVRAM configuration for selfboot code;
If legacy bootcode will be programmed and the deice had selfboot
code, reserve the NVARM configuration for legacy bootcode.
7. Enhancement:
Support 2nd port selfboot NVRAM configuration in 'secfgsb1'.
8. Problem cq40856:
Testing some CPMU register can cause system hang/crash in a specific
slot of a specific system. The problem is not seen on other slots,
or other systems.
Cause:
These registers on port 1 relate with TLP clock control. It's
possible that some modification of those registers can end up having
too slow a clock. Depending on the test and the slot, a slow TLP
clock can be a problem.
Fix:
Skip register 361c, 3624, and 3628.
9. Problem (CQ47306):
B57diag v12.41 and later will print an error when '-fmac' is used to
program OTP.
Cause: Previous b57diag loaded the mac address from the -f file instead
from the '-fmac' file.
Fix: Add code to load the mac address from -fmac file.
10. Enhancement:
. Support programming 57780 OTP image v2.07.
. Support 50612E PHY in 'inband' command.
. Update 50612E Mii Register table.
. Update 50612E EMAC_PHY pattern.
11. Enhancement:
5717/5718 A0 chip cannot access shared memory directly from port1;
Rev B0 has fixed the problem, so we allow direct shared memory test
from port1.
12. Problem: UEFI diag cannot display ASF and SMBIOS table correctly.
Fix: Import ASF! and SMBIOS Table from EFI Config Table.
13. Problem (CQ47520)
57785 with OTP, reset -c failed and error message displayed if the MAC
address maximum times is reached.
Cause: During reset -c scenario, b57diag does not use the correct
OTP format for 57785.
Fix: Use the correct OTP format for Aspen series chip.
14. Problem (CQ47509)
B57diag allows programming ASF on 57785x device.
Cause: Program does not block programming ASF on 57785x device.
Fix:
Display error messages when programming ASF on 57785x device.

Version 12.40 (10/09/09)
Updated release to incorporate changes from DOS B57diag v12.41, v12.40,
v12.19, and v12.18:

Changes from DOS B57diag version 12.41
--------------------------------------
Fix:
1. Problem (CQ43709)
The system will hang when attempting to read otp content on a specific platform.

Cause:
The index to memory was corrupted.

Fix:
Changed code to correct the index to read.

2. Problem (CQ43817)
C8 test failed with certain MAC address.

Cause:
ROM loader setup the starting address to store the testing image in SRAM based on the MAC address.

Fix:
Change code to decide the starting address based on device ID only.

3. Problem (CQ43645)
Error message displayed if OTP mem is not blank when programming
image without '-n' option.

Cause:
Without '-n', the original configuration and ID's will be remained.
That means those data might be different from the input image.
This problem was caused from comparing both.
Fix:
Added code to avoid comparing configuration block if the '-n'
option is specified.

4. Problem (CQ43308):
Checking selfbootII OTP Content failed while programming customer
platform with 57790A1 OTP.
Cause:
It was caused by the uninitialized memory block that hold OTP data.
Fix:
Initialized and zeroed out array block before using it.

Enhancements:
1. Update the usage of the command 'otpchk' as below.

usage: otpchk
Option:
-n Do not check configurations and all IDs.
-m Do not check MAC
-l<HEX> Iteration (def=00000001)
-f<string> filename

2. CQ42758 - Please add a command line command to print out the SECFG menu.

3. CQ43894 - Add a new option -run "<cmd> [option]" to run a single command with its options.
in the manufacturing mode.

For example, to execute the command of otpchk with a specific image without checking the configuation.

b57diag -run "otpchk -f otpfile -n"

Another example, to dump the NVRAM image to a file.

b57diag -run "sedump -f dumpfile"

4. CQ43159 - Creating MBA releases with UEFI drivers inside should not be device specific.

Changes from DOS B57diag version 12.40
--------------------------------------
1. Enhancement:
Add an option '-y' for command 'blast' to page down the statistics
counters automatically from page 0 to 7. The reason to add this option
is for the dead USB keyboard since of the legacy USB device sharing
the same interrupt with 5785 on the AMD motherboard.

2. Enhancement:
Continue to get 5761 event log entries even if get event fails for some.

3. Problem (CQ43308):
Checking selfbootII OTP Content failed while programming customer
platform with 57790A1 OTP.
Cause:
It was caused by the uninitialized memory block that hold OTP data.
Fix:
Initialized and zeroed out array block before using it.

4. Enhancement:
. Added Tcl support for B57diag.
. Renamed 'read' command to 'rread'.
. Added option '-rc <filename>' to 'b57diag': Specify a script file
to source after starting b57diag.
. 'write' and 'rwrite' commands are same.

5. Enhancement for command 'mancfg':
. Added '-t' option. It allows specifying a specific
record type (e.g. to view, with '-v'), this must be used with the (new)
-I (import data file) command, and may be used with the -r, -e, and -u
commands. The old -rXX, -eXX, -uXX syntax (where XX is a record type in
hexadecimal) is still supported for backwards compatibility.
. Added the -I command to import data files, automatically detected PEM
certificate files and decoding them accordingly.
. Added option '-V', view cfg record headers and data.

6. Enhancement:
Change the 'otpchk' command to compare the configuration bits and all IDs
(DID, SSID and SVID) by default. The option '-m' will compare MAC address
in addition.

Changes from DOS B57diag version 12.19
--------------------------------------
1. Enhanced the solution to CQ43709 introduced in v12.18

Changes from DOS B57diag version 12.18
--------------------------------------
Fix:
1. Problem (CQ43709)
The system will hang when attempting to read otp content on a specific platform.

Cause:
The index to memory was corrupted.

Fix:
Changed code to correct the index to read.

2. Problem (CQ43817)
C8 test failed with certain MAC address.

Cause:
ROM loader setup the starting address to store the testing image in SRAM based on the MAC address.

Fix:
Change code to decide the starting address based on device ID only.

Enhancements:
1. Update the usage of the command 'otpchk' as below.

usage: otpchk
Option:
-n Do not check configurations and all IDs.
-m Do not check MAC
-l<HEX> Iteration (def=00000001)
-f<string> filename
