Dear list,
I'm curious to know if it is possible to flash iPXE to these nics. PCI-Id is listed in supported devices - 8086:1533 .
[root@urzospoc01 src]# flashrom -p nicintel_eeprom:pci=01:00.0 flashrom v1.0 on Linux 3.10.0-693.17.1.el7.x86_64 (x86_64) flashrom is free software, get the source code at https://flashrom.org
Using clock_gettime for delay loops (clk_id: 1, resolution: 1ns). Found Programmer flash chip "Opaque flash chip" (4 kB, Programmer-specific) on nicintel_eeprom. No operations were specified.
When i build a rom for this specific nic the file has a size of 70kB.
Is there a way to get this rom to the nics?
Cheers,
Vadim
Vadim: Usually programming the firmware ROMs for Intel NICs requires software from Intel. https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/articles/000005790/software/... may do the trick. Alex

I don't know much about these NICs or flashrom's driver. But a quick look at the code shows that this 4KiB "Opaque flash chip" is actually an emulated EEPROM. 70KiB seem too large for an EEPROM anyway, did you try `-p nicintel_spi` as well? It should detect an SPI flash chip, if present.

Hi Nico,
i didn't tried. Well - i can give it another shot. But i think i won't be able because it is a LOM (NIC on Motherboard).
Cheers,
Vadim
