I210-IT operation

[HTang7]

I am design in the I210-IT device and just wondering if I need to program any image to the iNVM internal to the device in order to get the device manger to recognize the device.

I am using windows 7.

Hi Adolfo,

Finally, I am be able to get the i210 working. Thank you so much for all the help....

one more question, I use the conlanfw32.exe to open the adapter manual.

Sometime I can't initialize the i210.

When I go to the FLASH menu, the READ and WRITE flash have been gray out.

I can't program the flash memory.

Do you know why?

Thanks

Henry

Hi HenryT

Is your problem with the flash sporadic?

Are you using the flash or the iNVM image?

What image file are you using? Did you make any modification to the file before programming?

Best Regards,

Hi Adolfo,

Is your problem with the flash sporadic? I have to disable the driver from window before initialize the chip. Sometime, I can program it and sometime I can't. I don't know why.

Are you using the flash or the iNVM image? I am using flash image now.

What image file are you using? Did you make any modification to the file before programming?

I am using traditional_from_3.11_4Mb.bin. I don't know how to modify the file. Anyway to modify this file?

Thanks

Henry

Hello HenryT

Yes you always have to disable the windows driver before using the LANConf tool.

You cannot modify binary files, you can only modify .hex image files or the configuration files used to program the iNVM.

I think your problem might be related to power cycles. Do you perform a full power cycle after every successful configuration?

Hi Adolfo,

I need to program a couple of words in iNVM of i210-IS to use this chip in SerDes flashless mode.

But the EEUPDATE utility requires input configuration file with unknown to me format.

Could you please send me example of this file or the document describing its format.

Best Regards,

Hello, AdolfoS

Is it possible to modify EATOOL source code to use it with PCI IO ports without IO memory?

Thank you.
