                                  Release Note 
                 Broadcom BCM570X Diagnostics for IA-32 and IA-64
                                  04/15/2002

Introduction
============

This file describes the EFI diagnostic tool for Broadcom's BCM570X
10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet Network Interface Controller.  The tool is 
released as a standard EFI application format.
 `
1. b57diag32.efi: BCM570X diagnostic for IA32 EFI platform.
2. b57diag64.efi: BCM570X diagnostic for IA64 EFI platform.

This EFI version is based on b57diag.exe of the same version on DOS. 
For details on history of changes on this diagnostics, please refer to 
the release.txt from b57diag.exe.


Diagnostic Usage
================

1. Boot into EFI shell.
2. To run the standard diagnostic tests, the file "cpu.bin" must be
   in the same directory.
3. In IA64 environment, run "b57diag64" to execute all standard 
   diagnostic tests on all BCM570X NICs installed in the system. 
   For addition options, run "b57diag64 -help". In IA32 environment,
   run "b57diag32".

            8. Fixed some bugs in seeprom cfg which did not save cfg completely.
            9. Fixed loopback failure on 5700 for backward compatibility.

Version 2.33.0 (03/21/02)
            1. Enhanced to access devices with PCI I/O functions associated 
               with its device path.  Previous version uses global PCI I/O 
               functions for all devices.
            2. Updated with latest features in its counterpart BCM57DIAG.EXE 
               for DOS (v2.33.0).

Version 2.18.0 (12/21/01)
            1. Revise the version number to be "in sync" with the DOS version.

            1. Incorporated all changes up to version 2.13 of the DOS version.
            2. Incorporated to use the diag's own little memory manager and 
               added workaround to minimize a memory leak problem which causes 
               group D test to lock up on IA64 (CQ#2287).
            3. Added iteration number display on each subtest (e.g. 
               "C2. CPU Test (75)...").

Version 1.1.4 (07/20/01)
            1. Resolved CQ2084: fixed B5 test failure on an IA64 
               with 4 GB of RAM. The top 32 bit of  some 64-bit pointer 
               is no longer zero. The fix accomodates this.

Version 1.1.1 (07/06/01) 
            1. Resolved CQ1896: fixed Group A or B test failures on HP IA64.
            2. Eliminated the intermittent lockup problem just before running 
               Group D tests.

            1. Renamed it to b57diag.efi.
            2. Included IA64 port.
            3. Confirmed eeprom programming functionality
            4. Tested with BCM5701 A0 cards
