Overview
========
This package contains all the required files to update the NVM on the Intel(R)
Ethernet* adapters in your system. It contain the NVMUpdate utility,
configuration file, updated NVM binaries, and required driver files.


Limitations and Prerequisites
=============================
This package should only be used on Intel branded adapters. Please contact your
OEM vendor for an appropriate package.
This package only updates the NVM image. It does not update the preboot image. 
To update your preboot image, please download the appropriate package.

DO NOT
 - Power down your system during the NVM Update. 
 - Remove the NIC before the NVM Update completes.
 - Interrupt the NVM Update in any other way.
Doing so may make your device unusable.

Linux requirements
------------------
The base driver for your NIC must already be installed.

UEFI Requirements
-----------------
Create a bootable disk or other media and extract the update package onto the media.
Boot your system from the media and run the tool from there.


Updating Your NVM Using Interactive Mode
========================================  
1. Extract the update package into a temporary folder. 
2. Start the nvmupdate utility by running the executable.
   For example, on an x64 Microsoft* Windows* system, type:

   nvmupdatew64e

   On an x64 Linux* system, type:

   nvmupdate64e

3. Follow the prompts to update the NVM image on the desired device.
 

Using a Script
==============
You can use a script to perform an inventory of all the Intel Ethernet devices 
in the system or update the Intel Ethernet devices in the system. 

Update script example:

  nvmupdate64e –u –l –o update.xml –b  –c nvmupdate.cfg

This causes NVMUpdate to check the installed Intel Ethernet devices against 
those contained in nvmupdate.cfg. If a device contains an NVM version older than 
that specified in the config file, the utility will update the device's NVM. It 
will create an xml file containing the results of the update. Note that –b is 
optional. Specifying –b will create a backup of the current NVM image(s). This 
may add about 30% to the tools execution time.

Inventory script example:

  nvmupdate64e –i –l –o inventory.xml

This causes NVMUpdate to perform an inventory of all the Intel Ethernet devices 
in the system and creates an output file (called inventory.xml) of the results 
of the inventory.


Results
=======
NVMUpdate will return an exit code of zero if the update completed successfully.
