Are there clear instructions for Flashing a i350-T4v2? I purchased one and before I put it into service, I want to flash what ever is writeable.

[JWest32]

I followed https://downloadcenter.intel.com/download/29137 ...  and read of the instructions here: https://downloadmirror.intel.com/29137/eng/bootutil.txt but dont find any file name BootUtil. There is a dir by that name:

[westerj@flyer EFI]$ pwd

[flyer EFI]$ find .

.

./EFIx64

./EFIx64/E0023X7.EFI

./EFIx64/E3522X2.EFI

./EFIx64/E3911X5.EFI

./EFIx64/E7406X4.EFI

./EFIx64/E9003X3.EFI

./OPENSRC

./OPENSRC/GigUndiDxe.zip

./OPENSRC/i40eUndiDxe.zip

./OPENSRC/license_bsd.txt

./OPENSRC/XGigUndiDxe.zip

I can flash under RHEL or EFI. Please advise on how to make either work.

Thanks

Please provide the markings of your adapter. This would help us identify if you are using an OEM or retail version of Intel Ethernet Adapter. Kindly refer to the link below on where to find the PBA of the adapter. It is a 6-digit number located at the last part of the serial number.

I was experimenting with the flash process and see there are things that can be changed and retained. Is there a "factory reset" option?

[Caguicla_Intel]

Thank you for the reply.

Please allow us to check on your query. We will get back to you within 1-3 business days.

Hello JWest32,

Thank you for the patience on this matter.

We would suggest to save the image prior to any changes. Once you are done with experimenting the flash process, you may restore the image using the '-RESTOREIMAGE' command.

You may refer to below image for our lab simulation.

 

Let us know if you have additional questions and clarifications on this matter.

Awaiting to your response.
