I210 EEUPDATEW64e.exe /INVMGET Output

Hi All,

Trying to use the INVMGET command of the eeupdate tool to view the contents of the INVM on an I210-IT. EEUPDATE.txt says

/INVMGET

Dumps the contents of the INVM to the file _otp, where

is the MAC address of the adapter.

But the only file I get back seems to be "FFFFFFFF.raw". Is this an error or a compressed file?

Any assistance appreciated

Rob

Hi Carlos_A,

Just to let you know this issue is now resolved. It was showing inconsistent behavior because i had not programmed in a mac address. Since programming a mac address into the device it consistently returns a sensible INVM dump.

Thanks for all your help

Hi Carlos_A,

I have been out of the office for a few days, please see answers to your questions below:

  • The tools were provided to me via Avnet
  • The tools are form a package titled "Quartzville Tools_434998"
  • The Document is "eeupdate.txt" and is Titled "Intel (R) EEUpdate Release Notes April 21, 2016"
  • The tool itself is "EEUPDATEW64e.exe" see properties details page snapshot below

I will get screen shots of me running the tool and the data returned and forward to you as soon as I can.

Thanks

HI Carlos_A,

The design has been developed by us. The schematic has previously been checked by Intel.

Here is a screenshot of me running the eeupdate tool with the invmget command

Strangely what I am now seeing is when i run this command multiple times I get different outputs. One that looks valid

and one that looks like an error

Any ideas why this could be happening. Does this indicate that the device is falling to communicate some times?

Regards

RobH
