Getting Started Guide
A specific example of programming with bootable software is presented in
Update Using Bootable Software”
Network EEPROM Update
If it is found necessary to modify the factory programmed configuration of the network ports on
the Mohon Peak board, the EEPROM contents will need to be updated. Intel
®
will provide the
upgraded code along with the appropriate software tool and instructions at that time. Be aware
that not following the provided instructions very carefully may render one or more of the
network ports on the board inoperable and may require return of the CRB to Intel
®
for repair.
Currently, the software tool used is called "eeupdate64E.EFI" and the process is as follows
(this may change in the future, please see the instructions that come with the update before
performing this operation):
Copy the "eeupdate64E.EFI" program to a USB Flash drive
Copy the Intel
®
provided EEPROM data file to the USB Flash drive
Power the Mohon Peak system on and stop in the EFI Shell
Plug the USB Flash drive into an available USB port
At the "Shell" prompt, type the following series of commands:
>
map -r
>
fs0:
>
eeupdate64E.EFI
This should produce a
eeupdate sample
output that looks like:

Only update the EEPROM for the SGMII ports. Performing the EEUPDATE function on the
X540-AT2 ports will cause them to no longer function. In the example above, the NICs to
update are 3 through 6.
For the purposes of this example the EEPROM data is in a file called "eeprom.hex". Enter the
following commands to update all four "SGMII" ports:
>
eeupdate64E.EFI /NIC=3 /DATA eeprom.hex
>
eeupdate64E.EFI /NIC=4 /DATA eeprom.hex
>
eeupdate64E.EFI /NIC=5 /DATA eeprom.hex
>
eeupdate64E.EFI /NIC=6 /DATA eeprom.hex
