which image should I choose for EepromARMTool

bweip — Fri, 27 Mar 2020 14:15:17 GMT

I use the 4Mb flash SST25VF040B. The I210-CS port is SGMII and connect to a SGMII switch(KSZ9477STXI). When I find in the image folder named 513655, there are only two image: 8Mb and 16Mb. Which image should I choose? no image for 4Mb.

@Mæcenas_INTEL (Intel).

Hi,

I see the changes relative to 3.11,

1 does it mean that the 4Mb flash doesn't support firmware upgrade???

2 And there is no image for 4Mb in SGMII folder, which means the flash must be 8Mb or 16 Mb for SGMII mode??

3. I connect the I210 to the SGMII switch(KSZ9477STXI) and the flash is 4Mb, which image should I choose. There is no 4Mb image in serdes folder. I have read 2.16 in FAQ, but nothing about flash size.

Best regards

Hello, @bweip:

Thanks for your reply.

Reviewing the document # 513655, specifically the files for each i210 mode unmentioned on your first communication, they have 4 Mb Production NVM images.

It confirms the information provided on our previous message.

Best regards,

@Mæcenas_INTEL.

Hello, @bweip:

Thanks for your reply.

Paraphrasing our previous note, the i210 Twisted_pair, Transitional_images, and Fiber modes files, which are unmentioned on your first interaction as we cited, have 4 Mb Production NVM images.

The image that you have provided on your previous post can be found on the first communication.

Best regards,

@Mæcenas_INTEL.

@Mæcenas_INTEL (Intel).

I connect I210 to a switch. So I use I210 in Serdes mode, so I must find the image in serdes folder. I mention it in firt post.
