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.

5 Recover device from corrupt NVAM
When vendor id and/or device id have been modified and B57diag can longer find the device, the
following steps can be followed to recover the missing device.
1. Use a PCI scan tool to scan all PCI devices in the system. Find out the vendor id and device
id of the missing device.
2. Run B57diag with –seldev option switch to detect the missing device.
e.g. a:\b57diag –b57eng –seldev 14e411677.
3. In B57diag engineering mode, clear the Magic value in the NVRAM.
e.g. 0:>sewrite 0 0
4. Reprogram the Bootcode firmware with “seprg” command.
5. Reboot system if needed.

6 EEPROM.TXT format
A set of commands is defined to allow user to change EEPROM.BIN content. To update
EEPROM.BIN, user must enter –e <code> -geneep options at the command prompt. A password
must be entered to run this option. The 5704, Dual MAC, device uses one single eeprom.bin on both
MAC channel configurations. Most of the configurations are shared expect the following commands:
PXE
PXE_SPEED
WOL
ASF
The WOL and ASF setting cannot be enabled on both channel at the same time. For example, if the
primary WOL is already enabled, and the user try to enable secondary device’s WOL, the primary’s
WOL setting will be disabled with the following message:
** Warning, primary device WOL is disabled
By default, all commands configure the primary channel until the command MAC is used to select
other channel.

9 Same System Send/Respond Test
During a send/respond test two Broadcom Ethernet devices in the same system are connected
via a CAT5 (RJ45) cable and data is transmitted and received across the cable. In the above
setup one device is the device under test (DUT) and the other is the reference device. Any
Broadcom device that is supported by diagnostics can be used as the DUT or the reference
device.
9.1 Identifying a reference device
A reference device needs to be identified in order to test a DUT against the reference device.
The user can use the “b57diag –dids” command to display all the devices in the system. Each
device is assigned a number that is displayed on the screen in the first column just before the
device type. A user selects the number of the device that is to be used as the reference and
uses this number to test the DUT as described in the next section.
9.2 Testing the DUT against the reference device
After identifying the reference device, as described in the previous section, the user can test
the DUT by running “b57diag –rf 0 –c 1 –t abcd –T d3”. Each of the previous options are
described in the table below (details of each option are provided in the “Command line option
parameters” section above).
-rf 0 Identifies the reference device as device 0.
-c 1 Identifies the DUT as device 1.
–t abcd Disables all tests (Disable all tests in group a, b, c, and d).
–T d3 Perform the external loopback test that will transmit data from the DUT to the
reference device, via the CAT5 cable, then the reference device will receive the
data and transmit it back, via the CAT5 cable, to the DUT which will verify the
received data.
9.3 Other Options for the Send/Respond test
The following options can be used with the send/respond test (details of each option are
provided in the “Command line option parameters” section above).
-lbspd t/h/g Selects any combination of line speed to run the loopback test (by default
runs all line speeds).
–lbe g:h:t Selects the number of packets to send during the loopback test (g, h & t
are the 1000/100/10 megabit packet counts respectively) (default values
are g=2000, h=1000, t=600). It is mandatory that all packets counts are
entered with this command line switch.

10.11 upgfrm
Command: upgfrm
Description: Upgrade ISCSI, PXE, Boot Code and Selfboot Firmware from a File. This
command reads code from a file and program into iscsi, pxe or boot area. Both parameter,
the programming target '-p', 'b' or '-i' and filename, must be specified. In case of ISCSI
firmware, ISCSI Boot Firmware will be updated by default. ISCSI CFG Block will only be
updated if there is no ISCSI CFG Block present in NVRAM. ISCSI CFG Program will
NOT be programmed by this command. In case of Selfboot Firmware, this command will
support Format 0 to Format 1 and Format1 to Format1 update. Format0 to Format0 and
Format1 to Format0 update are NOT supported by this command. User will need to use
“seprg” command. For legacy bootcode, only VPD data block and Phase 1 and Phase 2
bootcode will be updated by default. If –v is entered, only Phase 1 and Phase 2 bootcode
will be updated. For Selfboot firmware and Hardware Selfboot firmware, only patches will
be updated.

NVRAM is the starting address of the code that the chip loads and executes. The code
starting address is 0x200 for NVRAM pages aligned on 256 byte boundaries and 0x2F8 for
the Atmel device that has a NVRAM page size of 264. If “sedump” is used to generate an
image file for a NVRAM/EEPROM burner then “-a” should be used, for an Atmel device, if
one wants to preserve the 0x2F8 code starting address that is automatically translated to
0x200 by software without the “-a” option. More details can be found in application note
570X-AN700-R.
