Intel i211 eeprom tool for ARM

DGotf — Wed, 08 Jun 2016 14:44:46 GMT

Hello,

We're using a i211 ethernet controller with an iMX6 CPU (ARM).

The controller appear in linux with the device id : 8086:1532

root@solidrun-imx6:~# lspci -n

00:00.0 0604: 16c3:abcd (rev 01)

01:00.0 0200: 8086:1532 (rev 03)

So that means our i211 is unprogrammed.

How can I program it from our ARM based board ?

Many thanks for your help.

Hello,

Thank you.

I've tried to run the tool but I've got an error :

Intel(R) Eeprom ARM Tool ARM OTP [ 3303.617224] Unhandled fault: external abort on non-linefetch (0x1018) at 0xb6dc9010

I figured out that the error is raised at this line :

In ReadReg function.

Do you have any idea ?

I've tried to use i211 with NXP imx.6quad.

root@imx6qsabreauto:~# lspci

00:00.0 PCI bridge: Device 16c3:abcd (rev 01)

01:00.0 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation Device 1532 (rev 03)

As i understand from the documentation, I have to program invm. What tools do I need?

I have privileged access but I couldn't download NVM images for i211 (document number 513655)

How can I obtain programming tools and software (for Linux ARM platform)

Thanks.

Dear Carlos,

I downloaded "network connection tools - 348742" and "production nvm images - 513655" documents. But I couldn't find "Eeprom ARM Tool" in achives. (my platfowm linux+arm for imx.6) Could you send download link for this tool.

Also I need eepromARMtool user guide - 523420. This document not avaiable for download at the moment (Intel Customer Support said that expired download end date).

Thank you.

This error occurs due an unmapped pci bar,

invoking lspci -v shows the bars disabled.

you can enable them by

echo 1 >/sys/bus/pci/devices/0000::./enable

replace , and by the appropiate values.

eg. bus := 1, := 00, : 0

this can be done once time after boot.

Hello, CH_Qing:

Thank you for contacting Intel Embedded Community.

It is unclear if the affected design has an Intel(R) Ethernet Controller I210 or a I211, could you please clarify this situation?

In case that the affected project has a I211, please that it fulfills with the requirements stated in the answer to the question 2.24, on page 9 of the https://www.intel.com/content/dam/www/public/us/en/documents/faqs/ethernet-controller-i210-i211-faq.pdf Intel(R) Ethernet Controller I210/I211 Frequently Asked Questions [FAQs] document # 335346. On the other hand, if the affected is an I210 design, please refer to the answer of the question 2.23 on the same page and document that we have mentioned.

We hope that this information may help you.

Hi,thanks for you giving me the Eeprom ARM Tool. However,when we use this tool ,we encounter some problems,we spend a lot time on this problem,but have not solve it.

Our board uses I211AT network card,and our circuits are connected as follows :

Firstly,our ARM system linux version is 4.14.67,when we use the tool on our system ,it can not work,

execute the command:./EepromAccessTool -NIC=1 -dump

the abnormal log is：Check Command error

The reason is that your tool is not suitable for our linux system，

I correct the code:

after this modify,the abnormal log disappear,

When we execute the command:./EepromAccessTool

our I211AT netcard have no external flash connection.,but the above result show INVM+FLASH, why show INVM+FLASH?

I think the correct result is just INVM only rather than NVM+FLASH

so before i programe the chip,i correct the code:(our 211AT have not connect any external flash)

the following code is not modified:

after I modify,the code is as following:

When we execute the command:./EepromAccessTool -NIC=1 -f= I211_Invm_NoAPM_v0.6.HEX

the result is as follows:

Provided under the terms of a CNDA. Do Not Distribute.

/proc/bus/pci/0000:01/00.0Non-overwritable data detected in the iNVM! No change

s made. Programming failed!

before I execute the command:./EepromAccessTool -NIC=1 -dump,

I changed the original first read external flash, in the code to first read invm

when we execute the command:./EepromAccessTool -NIC=1 -dump

after the commnad,the I211NIC1.otp will be generated.the content of the file is as follows:

FFFFFFFF FFFFFFFF FFFFFFFF FFFFFFFF FFFFFFFF FFFFFFFF FFFFFFFF FFFFFFFF

FFFFFFFF FFFFFFFF FFFFFFFF FFFFFFFF FFFFFFFF FFFFFFFF FFFFFFFF

Our network card chip is new,The right result should be all zero.

why?

our board have three i211AT,the three i211AT have the same problem!

please help me solve the problem, thanks!
