Re: [flashrom] Flashing iPXE on Intel i210 on Supermicro X11SSL-F

[Vadim Bulst]

Thanks Alex and I've tried BootUtil - but no luck. I've read the 
discription of BootUtil thanks to your link and found an important 
article: "

* BootUtil is not intended as a utility for LAN-On-Motherboard (LOM)
    implementations. Adjustments made to BootROM settings on LOM
    implementations may not affect how the adapter operates.

"

And well this nic which i was trying to flash is a LOM. So i guess there 
will be no chance to flash it.

Cheers,

Vadim
