7.5.5 Building the SEEPROM
The build -s command is used to restore a module’s corrupted serial EEPROM.
Example 7-5 Building the SEEPROM
P00>>> build -s ms7cc0
# Initialize the serial
# EEPROM on ms7cc0.
Build serial EEPROM on ms7cc0? [Y/N]> Y

The build -s command syntax is:
bu[ild] -s <device>
where <device> is MS7CC, MS7BB, KFTHA, KFTIA, DWLMA, DWLAA,
or DWLPA/DWLPB. Wildcarding is allowed within a class of devices (for
example, build -s ms7cc*). The serial EEPROM in a device is used to log
diagnostic symptom and test-directed data (DIAG_SDD, DIAG_TDD) and
holds the module’s serial number. It is also used by the operating system
to log operating system symptom data. During manufacturing, all module
serial EEPROMs are initialized (using build -s *). In the case of a module
upgrade, the serial EEPROM should be initialized also.
