OVERVIEW

========

Intel(R) NVM Integrity Verification Tool (NVMCHECK) verifies that the NVM image

is an authentic image.



NOTE: If the tool displays an error such as "Access error" or "Cannot

initialize port" you may be using an outdated driver. Please download the

latest driver from https://support.intel.com and try again.



NOTE: If the tool displays the error: "Unable to load the driver. Please close

all other applications and try again", you have a mix of old and new versions

of the utility tool on your system. Quit all open applications and retry your

operation. If the issue persists:

Download the latest version of the utility tools

Run the uninstall script to remove the old version of the tool driver

Run the install script from the downloaded tools package

Retry your operation

You may also need to download and install the latest Intel Ethernet

driver/PROSet package for your device.





Supported Operating Systems

---------------------------

Microsoft* Windows*

Microsoft Windows Server*

Linux* Kernel

Red Hat* Enterprise Linux*

SUSE* Linux Enterprise Server

UEFI

VMWare* ESXi*

FreeBSD



Notes:

- On systems running Linux, FreeBSD, or ESXi, the base driver must be present

for NVMCHECK to function correctly.



- On Microsoft Windows systems, if the driver required to run the tool is not

present on the system, it will automatically be installed when NVMCHECK is run.





RUNNING THE UTILITY

===================

Using the "/?" option will display a list of supported command line options.





OPTIONS:

--------

NVMCHECK can be run with any of the following command line options:



/HELP or /?

  Displays command line help.

/DEVICES

  Displays the device list.

/EXITCODES

  Displays the list of exit codes and descriptions returned for the run.

/NIC=XX

  Selects a specific device (1-32).

/VERIFY

  Verifies the NVM signature of the selected device.

/VERSION

  Displays the tool version and Quartzville SDK information.



Technical support options:

/HEADER

  Displays the NVM header of the selected device.

/KEY

  Displays the NVM key of the selected device.





BASIC USAGE GUIDELINES

----------------------

To display a list of installed adapters call NVMCHECK using the /DEVICES option.



NVMCHECK will display a list of network adapters installed in the system

similar to the following:



NIC B/D/F    Ven-Dev   MAC          ENA Branding string

=== ======== ========= ============ === ======================================

1)  01/00/00 8086-15D1 341278560000 NO  Intel(R) Ethernet Controller X550-T1

2)  02/00/00 8086-1583 000000000100 YES Intel(R) Ethernet Converged Network Ada

3)  04/00/00 8086-1533 94DE80A0381C YES Intel(R) I210 Gigabit Network Connectio



To perform an operation on an installed network adapter you must specify the

"/NIC=" parameter. For example, to verify the NVM on NIC 1 from the list above

call NVMCHECK like this:



NVMCHECK/NIC=1 /VERIFY



The tool will return:

  NVM Integrity verification [PASSED/FAILED]





EXIT CODES

==========

INSTALLATION

=============





Installing the tool on Microsoft* Windows*

------------------------------------------

To install the tools' drivers on Windows, run install.bat from the appropriate

directory of the install package.



Although the tool are not installed with install.bat, the driver that the tool

requires is copied into the local machine Windows driver directory. To run the

tool, launch a Command Prompt window from the Windows Start Menu. Go to the

media and directory where the tool is located and run the utility. The readme

files for each tool are found in the same directory as the tool. These tools

can be manually installed on the local hard drive in any directory.



The tool uses its own driver file (not the same as the system network driver).

If the driver sys file already exists in the drivers directory, install.bat may

fail to copy. Using the /y switch with install.bat will override and copy the

driver file regardless. However, this can be dangerous if an older version of

the driver is being used by another application such as Intel(R) PROSet for

Windows Device Manager. If a driver is already present in the drivers

directory, try running the tool from the command prompt. If it runs, then the

driver is fine. The tool will not run if the driver version present does not

match the driver version expected.



Note that you must have access to the %systemroot%\system32\drivers directory.

Only the administrator account has these privileges. You must be logged in as

administrator or the tools must be run as administrator.



Note that on Windows, any device that is disabled in device manager will not be

accessible by tools due to no memory resources. You would get an error code

0xC86A800E. To solve this problem, you can do one of the following:

1) Re-enable the device in device manager. Never disable this device when

   using tools.

2) Install an NDIS device driver for the device and make sure that it does

   not have a yellow or red bang by it in device manager.

3) Delete the device from device manager and restart the system. The install

   new hardware wizard should appear on next reboot. Do not cancel this. Just

   move the window aside and run the tool(s). Generally, you can click "cancel"

   on the wizard but there are some cases where Windows will disable the memory

   resources causing you to get back into the same state.





Installing the tool on EFI

--------------------------

The EFI 1.x tools are not supported in this release.



There is no installation required for EFI tools. The tools can simply be copied

from the appropriate directory to the drive that they will run from. The EFI2

binaries are for use with the UEFI Shell 2.X with the UEFI 2.3 HII protocol.

EFI2 tools will not run on the EFI Shell 1.X or if the UEFI 2.3 HII protocol is

not present.



Note that while EFI supports USB drives, there may be issues running tools from

the USB drive. Whether or not there are issues are BIOS specific. If you

experience issues, run the tool from hard disk instead.





Installing the tool on DOS

--------------------------

This tool no longer supports DOS. If you require DOS support, please download a

prior version.





Installing the tool on Linux*

----------------------------



In order to run this tool on Linux*, the base driver must be installed on the

system.



On kernel 4.16 or higher, ensure iomem parameter set to relaxed

---------------------------------------------------------------

On Linux* kernel 4.16 and higher, the iomem parameter is set to "strict" by

default, which may prevent the tool from accessing the MMIO of the device.

Trying to update a device when "strict" is set causes the device to lose link

during the update process.



If you wish to update a device without losing link, you can either:

1. Install Linux base drivers (igb or ixgbe) from Release 24.1, or newer.

2. Set the iomem kernel parameter to "relaxed" (i.e., iomem=relaxed) and reboot

the system before running the update utility.





INSTALLING THE TOOL ON VMWare* ESXi*

-----------------------------------



In order to run this tool on VMWare* ESXi*, the base driver must be installed

on the system.





INSTALLING THE TOOL ON FreeBSD*

------------------------------



In order to run this tool on FreeBSD*, the base driver must be installed on the

system.
