MAC update procedure for WGI210AT

Hi,

WGI210A Ethernet controller is being used on our custom CPU base board and Ethernet controller on based board is connected to Kontron CPU (Intel atom based SOM module) through PCIe.

We are using RTOS (VxWorks) on Kontron CPU module.

When we are trying to attach the device driver to the controller as a PCIe device. It is found that device has been not programmed in factory and later: its PCI device ID is 0x1531 instead of 0x157B according to I210 specification update (§Table 1-2 Device IDs).

The datasheet, specification update and FAQ docs precise a PCI device ID 0x1531 means “blank flash device”, “Not programmed/factory default” or “hardware default, indicating an unprogrammed device”

So we patched the device driver to support the Ethernet controller to solve temporarily the attachment issue and make it available. Nevertheless, the MAC Address is not configured (00:00:00:00:00:00) and other parameters could be not configured as expected.

Need support and process details to configure the MAC address on Ethernet chip.

  • Which tool needs to be used to program Flash memory / iNVM ?
  • What file to be programmed into the flash memory for  MAC address modification ?
  • Which programmer and software tool to be used to program the Controller or the flash Memory.?
  • In document 513655, there are many files. Which file needs to be used in iNVM?
