Displays device number on error message Version 1.14: 1. Fixed PCI-X eeprom access bug. 2. Invalidate the default xx-xx-xx-00-00-00 mac address. However, it allow user to enter mac address as xx-xx-xx-00-00-00. Version 1.13: 1. Fixed Memory Allocation Problem for Dell 8450. 2. Added PCI-X support 3. Programmed MAC (in PCI-X mode) to not allow set the Relaxed Ordering Bit in the Requestor Attributes of transactions it initiates that do not require strong write ordering. Version 1.12: The new options -n, -m, and -f now requires -e option to be activated 1. New Option -n With this option, the program will run in manufacturing loop. It supports power on/off of UUT. This will ignore the option -I, the iteration option. 2. New Option -m Prompt user for the MAC address. With this option, user must enter/scan the mac address before testing. The program also checks for the file "mac_pref.txt" This is a text file should contain six digits of ASCII MAC three-byte-prefix address. Any of the following format is supported: Example: 000467 00 04 67 00 04 67 If this file exists, user has option to enter/scan 7 digit hex number. The first digit will be ignored and the last 6 digits will be used for the lower part of MAC address. Combine with the prefix, it creates 6 byte (12 digit) hex number. If this file does not exist, the whole 12 digit number must be entered for the MAC address. When entering MAC address, a space character is allow between each byte. For example, any of the following is valid. 000467010203 00 04 67 01 02 03 1010203 (currently, the scanner uses this format) 3. New Option -f Program "eeprom.bin" into EEPROM before testing. The file "eeprom.bin" must be there or the program will not run with this option. The -m and -f combination will create the following behavior: a) -f and -m: Program will not validate the eeprom content and go ahead to prompt user for the MAC address. It programs MAC address and EEPROM content and then checks the validity of eeprom content at the end of programming. Loading EEPROM content from eeprom.bin: passed -- enter MAC address after pass here Programming EEPROM from eeprom.bin....: passed Checking EEPROM content...............: passed b) -f only Program will check the validity of eeprom. If it is not valid, it will act as a), -f -m option. If it is good, it saves the MAC address from eeprom, program new eeprom.bin content into EEPROM and then restores the original MAC address. It checks the validity of eeprom content once more at the end of programming. Checking EEPROM content...............: passed Loading EEPROM content from eeprom.bin: passed Programming EEPROM from eeprom.bin....: passed Checking EEPROM content...............: passed or Checking EEPROM content...............: invalid Loading EEPROM content from eeprom.bin: passed -- enter MAC address after pass here Programming EEPROM from eeprom.bin....: passed Checking EEPROM content...............: passed c) -m only Program will check the validity of eeprom. If it is not valid, it will act as a), -f -m option. If it is good, the program will prompt the user for a new MAC address and program the MAC address only. It checks the validity of eeprom content once more at the end of programming. Checking EEPROM content...............: passed -- enter MAC address after pass here Programming MAC address...............: passed Checking EEPROM content...............: passed or Checking EEPROM content...............: invalid Loading EEPROM content from eeprom.bin: passed -- enter MAC address after pass here Programming EEPROM from eeprom.bin....: passed Checking EEPROM content...............: passed d) no -m and -f options Program will check the validity of eeprom. If it is not valid, it will act as a), -f -m option. If it is good, it proceed to normal diagnostics. Checking EEPROM content...............: passed or Checking EEPROM content...............: invalid Loading EEPROM content from eeprom.bin: passed -- enter MAC address after pass here Programming EEPROM from eeprom.bin....: passed Checking EEPROM content...............: passed 4. Fixed -x -w option checksum false error report bug Version 1.11: 1. Added features to secfg command to allow users to program VPD-R and VPD-W information. 2. Removed all debugging information to reduce file size. 3. Manufacture test includes EEPROM content testing. If manufacture checkusm is bad, it prompts user to enter MAC address. If the checksum it good, it will save the mac address before programming eeprom.bin if user choose to do so. 4. Changed Internal MAC loopback test from 100 to 200 packets. Changed Phy loopback test from 100 to 2000 packets. Changed RJ45 loopback test from 100 to 2000 packets. 5. Removed pattern and altenate pattern test from memory test to increase speed. 6. Removed VPD test to increase speed. Since both eeprom test and vpd test exercise hardware eeprom. There is no needs for extensive test for both. Version 1.10: 1. Removed bit 13 register 11 read only bit test for MII test The MDI Crossover state bit changes internally when there is no cable connected. It is not reliable to be tested as read only bit and it is not an error. 2. Suppressed the error dialog when run without -p option Version 1.09: 1. Moved over bcmediag.exe version 1.24 - 1.30 changes. bcmediag.exe Version 1.30: a. Added bustest to test out PCI bus in the worst case scenarios. The goal is to have every data/control lines toggled.

First eight bytes of data are used to store the following info for debug: byte 0-4 : length byte 5-6 : iteration# byte 6-7 : test case# b. Added PCI-X support and work-around for B1 silicon. This version diagnostics detects if the NIC is in PCI-X slot. If yes, work-around is implemented. However, user still can overwrite this by issuing debug -c=5 to toggle PCI-X work-around before loading driver. bcmediag.exe Version 1.28: a. Made minor changes to support B1 silicon due to changes in ASIC revision format. bcmediag.exe 1.27: a. Added new commands to utilize BCM5500 built-in BERT features. Three new commands are added: * lbertram: load BERT pattern into BERT TX&RX RAM, and enable BERT. * dbertram: Dump BERT TX& RX RAM. * bertstats: Display BERT statistics. bcmediag.exe Version 1.26 a.

Version 1.04: 1. Added -m option to disable RJ45Loopback Test Version 1.03: 1. Fixed multiple card interrupt problem. Original call had only one variable to save original interrupt vector. If multiple cards use different interrupts, some origianal interrupt vector get lost. This will cause problem after exiting program. Code is changed to support shared interrupt as well. 2. Comment out some unreachable code in order to reduce code size. Version 1.02: 1. Added changes due to changes in boot code firmware 0.6. Before issuing CHIP reset (or GRC reset), it writes a siginature to SRAM so that firmware wouldn't perform code boot initialization such as PHY H/W reset, PXE loading, etc... 2.
