secondary port. Software will read command from input files and compare with the
boot code configuration and return “Passed” or “Failed” accordingly.
Example:
b57diag –chksecfg file_p.txt (for single port devices)
b57diag –chksecfg file_p.txt file_s.txt (for dual port devices)
-nosz
disable storing NVRAM and TPM size in NVRAM
Disable the storing of the TPM and NVRAM size in NVRAM when diagnostics is run from
the command prompt. Use the "-nosz" option when repeatedly power cycling a system in
order not to exhaust the total NVRAM write cycles.
-smbaddr <hex1> | <hex2>…|<hex3> Configure ASF SMBus Addresses.
The option will configure the ASF SMBus Address field in ASF Configuration
block.
The option can take multiple parameters in HEX.
Example:
a. -smbaddr 45 (SMB Address = 0x45)
b. -smbaddr 45 6c (SMB Address for 1st device=0x45 and 2nd device = 0x6c)
This option must be used along with -c option. Number of parameters for -
smbaddr must be the same as number of devices selected by -c.
Example:
b57diag -c 0 3 6 -smbaddr 6c-6e -t abcd.
b57diag –c 0 –e b57kia –pasf asf.bin –smbaddr 66 –t abcd
-mfct <filename> updates the PCI SSID and SVID
Use this option to modify the PCI SSID and SVID stored in NVRAM. The new SSID and
SVID are specified in the file <filename>. The format of <filename> is specified in the
“EEPROM.TXT format” section below.
-sil
suppresses warning messages of the “-firm” and “-firmall” commands
The warning message, “Boot code file and device type incompatible”, produced by the “-
firm” and “–firmall” commands is not displayed when the “-sil” command line parameter is
entered before the “-firm” and “–firmall” commands. The “-firm” and “-firmall” commands
are described below.
-rf <x>
selects a reference device to use during external loopback
