1 Introduction
This program runs in two modes: Manufacturing mode and Engineering mode. The mode is
determined with the command line option or the configuration file. When the program is
running in manufacturing mode, it starts to run all tests in the configuration. If it detects an
error, it displays an error and exits the program. When the program is in engineering mode,
it prompts user to enter commands. The commands are explained in the later chapters. This
document provides the information on configuration file specification, command line options
and engineering diagnostic commands on Broadcom NetXtreme Ethernet adapter, in
particular to check out the functionality of the BCM5700 Family of Ethernet controllers and
its related components. In general, this program has a set of default configuration. It is
overwritten by configuration file. The command line option overwrites both default and the
configuration files.

4 Command line option parameters
When users invoke this program, a set of option parameter can be used to overwrite the configuration
file or the default configuration. This section summarizes the options. The options are case sensitive.
-putil Call “b57putil.exe” utility to unload PXE driver.
When "-putil" was entered, diag will call another application "b57putil.exe". "b57putil.exe"
will unload PXE and such that diag can have full control over the device. This option switch
should be used when updating firmware with "-firmall" option switch via PXE connection.
-seldev <VID_DID> option to select devices that match VID and DID
Use this option to select target devices. Other devices, which have different VIDs and DIDs,
will not be selected and listed. This option switch can be used along with “-firm” and “firmall” option switches.
Example: a:\b57diag –b57eng –seldev 14e411677
-uump <filename> used for field program of UMP firmware
The feature is used to execute a field upgrade of UMP firmware. The firmware is
programmed into a/the device/s specified by “-c” option switch if UMP firmware is
originally loaded in NVRAM
-dir used for displaying file directory in NVRAM
The feature is used to display file directory in NVRAM. The file directory in the
NVRAM of device/s specified by"-c" option switch will be display. If no "-c" option
switch has been entered, the file directory of all detected devices will be
displayed. In order to log the file directory to a log file, "-l" option switch option
must be entered BEFORE "-dir" option switch. Since this is a single function
command, the will be no "nictest" or other functions will be preformed.
-pump <file> Program UMP firmware
This option needs to follow the –e and –c options. If this option is entered, the program will
retrieve the UMP firmware filename from the command line then it will start programming.
Example:
b57diag –e <code> -c 0 –pump ee5714c1.00
-pump1 <file> Program UMP firmware only
The feature is used to execute a field upgrade of NVRAM to add UMP firmware. The
firmware is programmed into a/the device/s specified by “-c” option switch.
-u <value> : Enable/Disable (value = 1/0) UMP in manufacture mode

-piscsi <file> Program ISCSI firmware
This option needs to follow the –e and –c options. If this option is entered, the program will
retrieve the ISCSI firmware filename from the command line then it will start programming.
Example:
b57diag –e <code> -c 0 –piscsi iscsi.bin
-piscsicfg Force program ISCSI CFG firmware
If this option is entered, it will force program the ISCSI CFG firmware to NVRAM. This
option must be used along with –piscsi option.
Example:
b57diag -e <code> -c 0 –piscsi iscsi.bin -piscsicfg
-piscsiprg Force program ISCSI PRG firmware
If this option is entered, it will force program the ISCSI PRG firmware to NVRAM. This
option must be used along with –piscsi option.
Example:
b57diag -e <code> -c 0 –piscsi iscsi.bin -piscsiprg
-piscsi1 <filename> used for field program of ISCSI firmware
The feature is used to execute a field upgrade of NVRAM to add ISCSI firmware. The
firmware is programmed into a/the device/s specified by “-c” option switch.
-smbaddr <hex1> | <hex2> | …….| <hexn> used for programming SMBus Address for
ASF/IPMI firmware.
The feature will allow user to program SMBus Address for ASF/IPMI firmware. This
switch can take multiple parameters in HEX.
Example
1. -smbaddr A4 (SMB Address = 0xA4)
2. -smbaddr A4 A6 (SMB Address for 1st device=0xA4 and 2nd device = 0xA6)
This switch must be used along with -c option to indicate the target device.
Example:
b57diag -c 0 3 6 -smbaddr A4 A6 A8 -t abcd.
b57diag –c 0 –e b57kia –pasf asf.bin –smbaddr A4 –t abcd
-chksecfg <file_p> | <file_s> will enable the NVRAM SecfgTest
Boot code configuration will be checked against input files. The input files are in the
same format as EEPROM.TXT. <file_p> is for the primary port and <file_s> is for the
secondary port. Software will read command from input files and compare with the
boot code configuration and return “Passed” or “Failed” accordingly.
