No command would work. An overriding board selection check before the command was perfromed was still checking for device ID = x1229 rather than x1209. Changed to use PCI BIOS to read/write PCI configuration data. The previous versions used direct read/write of the ports which caused incompatability with some PCI implementations making ERUPDATE not able to recognize the device. 3.19ER First version. Supports 82559ER Fast Ethernet* PCI Controller (Device ID 1209) only. Contact your Intel field representative if you need to program EEPROM for a different Ethernet controller. RUNNING ERUPDATE: ----------------- To run ERUPDATE, boot your system in MS-DOS mode. From the MS-DOS command prompt, change to the directory containing ERUPDATE.EXE, then type "ERUPDATE". Do not use the MS-DOS prompt reached from Windows. ERUPDATE.EXE can be run with several command line options. COMMAND LINE OPTIONS: --------------------- -ALL Selects all 82559ER network interfaces found. -DUMP Dumps EEPROM memory contents to file. -EXITCODES Brings up exit code help. -HELP or -? Brings up command line help. -NIC=XX Selects a specific network interface card or subsystem (1-8). -NOCHKSUM Prevents EEPROM checksum from being updated. -CB <offset> <bitmask> Clears bits in the EEPROM, specified in <bitmask>. -RW <word> Reads <word> from the EEPROM. -SB <offset> <bitmask> Sets bits in the EEPROM, specified in <bitmask>. -WW <word> <value> Writes <value> into <word> in EEPROM. <imagefile> <addrfile> Programs EEPROM with image from <imagefile> and MAC address from <addrfile>. -A <addrfile> or -ADDRESS <addrfile> Programs the EEPROM with only the MAC address from the <addrfile> without changing the rest of the EEPROM. -D <imagefile> or -DATA <imagefile> Programs the EEPROM from the <imagefile> without changing the MAC address. <imagefile> -MAC=macaddr Programs EEPROM with image from <imagefile> and MAC address of macaddr. -MAC=macaddr" Programs the EEPROM with only the MAC address of macaddr without changing the rest of the EEPROM. USAGE EXAMPLES: --------------- Example 1: To update the EEPROM and MAC Address on the first 82559ER-based network interface found in your system, call ERUPDATE.EXE like this: ERUPDATE -NIC=1 imagefile.eep addrfile.dat Example 2: To update the EEPROM and MAC Address on *all* of the 82559ER-based network interfaces found in your system, call ERUPDATE.EXE like this: ERUPDATE -ALL imagefile.eep addrfile.dat Example 3: To update the MAC Address without changing the rest of the EEPROM on the third 82559ER network interface found in your system, call ERUPDATE.EXE like this: ERUPDATE -NIC=3 -A addrfile.dat Example 4: To update the EEPROM without changing the MAC address on *all* of the 82559ER network interfaces found in your system, call ERUPDATE.EXE like this: ERUPDATE -ALL -D imagefile.eep Example 5: To update the EEPROM Checksum on the second 82559ER network inerface found in your system, call ERUPDATE.EXE like this: ERUPDATE -NIC=2 -CHKSUM Example 6: To dump the EEPROM contents on *all* of the 82559ER-based network interfaces found in your system, call ERUPDATE.EXE like this: ERUPDATE -ALL -DUMP Example 7: To clear specific bit 1 in word 0xA the EEPROM on *all* of the 82559ER network interfaces found in your system, call ERUPDATE.EXE like this: ERUPDATE -ALL -CB 0xA 0x2 Example 8: To set bit 1 in word 0xA the EEPROM on *all* of the 82559ER network interfaces found in your system, call ERUPDATE.EXE like this: ERUPDATE -ALL -SB 0xA 0x2 Example 9: To read word 0x9 from the EEPROM on the third 82559ER network interface found in your system, call ERUPDATE.EXE like this: ERUPDATE -NIC=3 -RW 0x9 Example 10: To write word 0x9 to the EEPROM on the third 82559ER network interface found in your system, and update its checksum, call ERUPDATE.EXE like this: ERUPDATE -NIC=3 -WW 0x9 0x1234 FILE FORMATS: ------------- The format for the <addr> file is a list of MAC addresses, one entry per line, for example 00AA00000000 00AA00000001 00AA00000002 00AA00000003 The format for the <data> file is a table of ASCII characters consisting of eight rows by eight columns of data. Lines preceded by semicolons are treated as comments, for example ; EEPROM file for Intel 82559ER Fast Ethernet PCI Controller ; ; Rev. 01 EXAMPLE ONLY ; ; xxxx xxxx xxxx = Ethernet MAC address ; pwa# pwa# = Printed wiring assembly number (optional) ; ssid = Subsystem ID ; svid = Subsystem Vendor ID ; chks = checksum ; ; Note: other bits may have to be programmed differently ; according to your exact system implementation. xxxx xxxx xxxx 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 pwa# pwa# 40B2 ssid svid 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 chks NOTES: ------ * If you run ERUPDATE without any command line options, ERUPDATE will display a listing of all the supported Intel 82559ER-based network interfaces found in your system. * ERUPDATE won't read/write EEPROMs on any network interfaces unless you specify which interfaces you want to read/write. The device ID of the interfaces must be 1209. You can use the -NIC=xx option to select a single subsystem, or use the -ALL option to select all the 82559ER-based network interfaces in your system. You can use the -DEVICE=<pci device id> to select the device id. * When using the '-dump' command, ERUPDATE will automatically create a file and name it, based on the last 8 bytes of your network interface's MAC address. For example, if your MAC address was '00aa11223344', ERUPDATE would create the file called '11223344.EEP'. * Both <word> and <bitmask> parameters *must* be furnished to ERUPDATE in hexadecimal. * The EEPROM checksum is automatically updated when you clear/set a bit or bits, and when you write a word to the EEPROM. This operation can be turned off by using the -NOCHKSUM option. DOS ERROR CODES: ---------------- ERUPDATE returns error codes to the DOS command line. A description of the error codes is found below. CODE NAME: VALUE: ---------- ------ SUCCESS 0 OPERATOR TERMINATION 1 INVALID NIC 2 BAD COMMAND LINE PARAM 3 EEPROM CHECKSUM FAILURE 4 EEPROM READ FAILURE 5 EEPROM WRITE FAILURE 6 EEPROM DUMP FAILURE 7 BAD FILE 8 NO MEMORY 9 NO NICS FOUND 10Download Driver Pack
