Eeprom image and Mac Address update tutorial. FEB 2012. Agenda. Eeprom image only update Lanconf Tool Configuring multiple AVN systems. Eeprom image only update. If you already programed Mac Address on your platform and you want to update only eeprom image proceed with f o llowing steps:
E N D
Agenda • Eeprom image only update • Lanconf Tool • Configuring multiple AVN systems
Eeprom image only update • If you already programed Mac Address on your platform and you want to update only eeprom image proceed with following steps: • Get the current eeupdate tool (linux 64-bit version) from the Alpha SW package for GBE from CDI. • Run ./install script from tools folder (not on SVOS) • If you don’t have any additional network cards in the system just run eeupdate tool: • ./eeupdate64e /nic=1 /d eeprom_image_name.hex • Otherwise run ./eeupdate64e command without parameters, find Avoton GbE (first port) on the displayed list and enter it’s number in the /nic flag • Apply power cycle to the platform • WARNING: You should change name of eeprom image to shorter one – eeupdate tool can have problem with long names
Lanconf Tool • If you already programed Mac Address on your platform and you want to update only eeprom image using Lanconf tool proceed with following steps: • Get the current lanconf tool (linux 64-bit version) from the Alpha SW package for GBE from CDI. • Run ./install script from tools folder (not on SVOS) • Run Lanconf Tool: ./lanconf64e • Find Avoton GbE (first port) on the displayed list and enter it • Go to: EEPROM/FLASH -> Raw EEPROM and use F4 key to update eeprom image (do not override mac address when promted) • Apply power cycle to the platform • WARNING: You should change name of eeprom image to shorter one – Lanconf Tool can have problem with long names
Configuring multiple AVN systems • NOTE: for configuring LAN MAC addresses on multiple systems in the same network, use lanconf Raw EEPROM Menu to set the mac address to a different value (1st 6 bytes)
