Intel® Ethernet FLASH Firmware Utility

Introduction

The Intel® Ethernet Flash Firmware Utility (BootUtil) is a utility that can be used to program the PCI option ROM on the flash memory of supported Intel PCI and PCI-Express-based network adapters, and to update configurations. BootUtil replaces existing utilities and provides the functionality of the older IBAUTIL, ISCSIUTL, LANUTIL, and FLAUTIL. BootUtil supports all the adapters supported by the previous utilities.

NOTE: Updating the adapter's flash memory using BootUtil will erase any existing firmware image from the flash memory.

Intel provides the following flash firmware in FLB file format for programming to the flash memory:

Intel® Boot Agent as PXE Option ROM for legacy BIOS
http://www.intel.com/support/network/adapter/pro100/bootagent/

Intel® iSCSI Remote Boot as iSCSI Option ROM for legacy BIOS
http://www.intel.com/support/network/iscsi/remoteboot/

Network Connectivity, UEFI network driver
http://www.intel.com/support/network/sb/cs-006120.htm

OEMs may provide custom flash firmware images for OEM network adapters. Please refer to the instructions given by OEMs.

BootUtil allows the user to flash supported firmware to the adapter from the included master FLB file. This option ROM includes PXE, iSCSI, FCoE and UEFI drivers, and the image is programmed to the flash memory at once. BootUtil will also build the required combo images for supported adapters and program those images to the flash, as well. Since both discrete and combo images are supported, the -BOOTENABLE command ONLY works on combo images.

PXE+EFI and iSCSI+EFI image combinations are supported for all OEM generic adapters, however support is limited to devices which support both technologies as discrete images. However, flash size is a limiting factor, as the image size can change without notice.

The Master FLB file (BOOTIMG.FLB) is the new container for all the Intel® Boot Option ROMs. This file replaces the existing FLB files for FCoE, iSCSI, PXE, and EFI.

NOTE: BootUtil supports older flb files to maintain backwards compatibility with the previous utilities.

BootUtil without command-line options will display a list of all supported Intel network ports in the system. BootUtil will also allow the user to enable or disable the flash memory on specific ports by using -FLASHENABLE or -FLASHDISABLE options in order to control access to the firmware from the system.

BootUtil allows the user to individually set iSCSI, FCoE, UEFI and PXE boot configurations by -NIC=xx -[OPTION]=[VALUE] options. The -I option is iSCSI specific and will not work for PXE configurations.

NOTES:
  • BootUtil displays up to 128 adapter ports.
  • No configuration settings are supported for the UEFI driver.
  • Functionality from the previous utility, IBAutil, are preserved in BootUtil.

BootUtil is located on the software installation CD in the \APPS\BootUtil\ directory. Check the Intel Customer Support (http://support.intel.com) website for the latest information and component updates.

Running BootUtil

The syntax for issuing BootUtil command-line options is:

BOOTUTIL -[OPTION] or -[OPTION]=[VALUE]

Command-line Options

BootUtil accepts one executable option and its associated non-executable options in an execution. If conflicting executable options (such as -FLASHENABLE and -UPDATE used together) are supplied, BOOTUTIL exits with an error.

The options, where applicable, are listed in logical groups.

NOTE: If you run BootUtil without any command-line options, the utility displays a list of all supported Intel network ports found in the system.

General Options
Parameter Description
-HELP or -? Displays a list of command-line options.
-EXITCODES Displays exit codes returned to the OS by BootUtil.
-IMAGEVERSION or -IV Displays firmware types and version numbers from a resource image.
If used with the -FILE option, the resource image is in the FLB file.
If used with the -NIC option, the resource image is in the adapter flash.
If used with the -ALL option, each resource image is continuously displayed for all adapters.
-E Enumerates all supported network ports in the system.
-O=[FILENAME] Must be used with E or NIC.
If used with the -E option, saves a list of all NICs and their MAC addresses to the specified file.

If used with the -NIC option, saves all iSCSI Remote Boot configuration options for the specified NIC to the specified file.
-I=[FILENAME] Reads iSCSI boot configuration options from [FILENAME] script file and program settings on the selected port.
-FILE=[FILENAME] Specifies the file name for -SAVEIMAGE, -RESTOREIMAGE, -SAVECONFIG or -RESTORECONFIG option.

In pause mode, last line of the screen will contain information that:
- screen has been paused, and
- user can press Enter to continue
Flash Programming Options
Parameter Description
-UP or -UPDATE=[ROMType]

[-FILE=Filename]

 Updates the flash memory of the adapter specified by the -NIC option with the given FLB flash firmware image file. If -QUIET is not specified, the user is prompted to confirm overwriting the existing firmware image before upgrading. If a Filename is not provided, the utility looks for the default bootimg.FLB file which contains all image types.

The following examples use pxe, but could also be efi, efi64, FCoE or iSCSI.
eg: Bootutil -Nic=x -up=pxe
or Bootutil -Nic=x -up=pxe -file=pxeimg.flb

If your adapter supports a combo option ROM, the following command option automatically detects the supported combo image and programs the adapter with that image.
-up=combo

 up=pxe+efi and up=iscsi+efi are valid.
-SAVEIMAGE or SI                 Saves the existing flash firmware image in the flash memory of the adapter specified by the -NIC option to a disk file. The destination file is specified by the -FILE option.

Overview

The UEFI network driver for Intel® Ethernet Network Connection enables network connectivity under UEFI. It can be used in conjunction with UEFI software components available from other sources to perform network functions in the UEFI environment. Intel's UEFI network driver supports Intel's FLB3 file format. This format extends the header information in the FLB file, enabling more than 16 image types, including a combined Option ROM and NVM image.

NOTE: If you update your adapter's NVM image, you must completly power cycle your system, including removing main power, for the update to take affect.

Supported UEFI Implementations

The UEFI network driver supports UEFI platforms based on the following UEFI/EFI specifications:

UEFI driver binaries are provided for 64-bit (x86-64), and Itanium processor family platforms.

Intel UEFI Network Driver Naming Convention

The network driver version, UEFI platform type, and the network hardware support can be determined by the file naming convention. The format of the driver filename is listed below:

Exyzztn.efi

where:

x - major version number of the UEFI driver in decimal
y - minor version number of the UEFI driver in decimal
zz - fix field of the version number

t - the type of driver

X - UEFI x64 driver
I - UEFI Itanium driver

n - class of adapter the driver is for

2 PCI/PCI-X Gigabit
3 PCI-E Gigabit
4 - 10 Gigabit

Examples:

E3603X3.efi - Version 3.6.03 of UEFI x64 driver for Intel PCI-E Gigabit network connection
 E1001I4.efi - Version 1.0.01 of UEFI Itanium driver for Intel 10GBE network connection

Loading the UEFI Network Driver

The network driver can be loaded using the UEFI shell "load" command:

load e3040e2.efi

NOTE: Long initialization times observed with Intels UEFI driver are caused when the UNDI.Initialize command is called with the PXE_OPFLAGS_INITIALIZE_CABLE_DETECT flag set. In this case, UNDI.Initialize will try to detect the link state.

If the port is connected and link is up, initialize will generally finish in about 3.5 seconds (the time needed to establish link, dependant on link conditions, link speed and controller type) and returns PXE_STATFLAGS_COMMAND_COMPLETE. If the port is disconnected (link is down), initialize will complete in about 5 seconds and return PXE_STATFLAGS_INIIALIZED_NO_MEDIA (driver initializes hardware then waits for link and timeouts when link is not establish in 5 secs).

When UNDI.Initialize is called with PXE_OPFLAGS_INITIALIZE_DO_NOT_DETECT_CABLE the function will not try to detect link status and will take less than 1 second to complete.

The behavior of UNDI.Initialize is described in UEFI specs 2.3.1: Initializing the network device will take up to four seconds for most network devices and in some extreme cases (usually poor cables) up to twenty seconds. Control will not be returned to the caller and the COMMAND_COMPLETE status flag will not be set until the adapter is ready to transmit.

Installing the UEFI Network Driver Option ROM Using PROSet

Intel® PROSet for Windows Device Manager can install the UEFI network driver on an Intel network adapter's option ROM. The UEFI network driver will load automatically during system UEFI boot When installed in the option ROM. UEFI specific*.FLB images are included on the CD release media. The "Boot Options" tab in Intel® PROSet for Windows Device Manager will allow the UEFI*.FLB image to be installed on the network adapter.

The following FLB files are included on the release media:

BAxyzzX2.flb - Version x.y.zz of the PCI/PCI-X gigabit driver for x86-64
BAxyzzI2.flb - Version x.y.zz of the PCI/PCI-X gigabit driver for Itanium
BAxyzzX3.flb - Version x.y.zz of the PCI-E gigabit driver for x86-64
BAxyzzI3.flb - Version x.y.zz of the PCI-E gigabit driver for Itanium
BAxyzzX4.flb - Version x.y.zz of the 10-gigabit driver for x86-64
BAxyzzI4.flb - Version x.y.zz of the 10-gigabit driver for Itanium

Intel® PROSet for Windows Device Manager can only be used to program add-in Intel PCI, PCI-X, and PCI-E network adapters. LOM (LAN On Motherboard) network connections cannot be programmed with the UEFI network driver option ROM. Refer to the PROSet documentation for detailed instructions.

Installing the UEFI Network Driver Option ROM from the UEFI Shell

The BootUtil command line utility can install the UEFI network driver on an Intel network adapter's option ROM. The UEFI network driver will load automatically during system UEFI boot When installed into the option ROM. Run BootUtil with the following command line options to install the UEFI network driver on all supported Intel network adapters:

For x64 systems:

FS0:\>bootutil64e up=efi all

For ia64 systems:

FS0:\>bootutil64 up=efi64 all

BootUtil can only be used to program add-in Intel PCI, PCI-X, and PCI-E network adapters. LOM (LAN On Motherboard) network connections cannot be programmed with the UEFI network driver option ROM.

UEFI Network Stack

As of UEFI 2.1 there are two network stack configurations under UEFI. The most common configuration is the PXE based network stack. The alternate network stack provides IPv4 TCP, UDP, and MTFTP network protocol support. As of UEFI 2.1 the PXE and IP-based network stacks cannot be loaded or operate simultaneously. The following two sections describe each UEFI network stack configuration.

Reference implementations of the PXE and IP based network stack source code are available for download at www.tianocore.org.

Configuring UEFI Network Stack for PXE

The PXE (Preboot eXecution Environment) based UEFI network stack provides support for UEFI network boot loaders downloaded from a WFM compliant PXE server. Services which can be enabled include Windows 2008 Deployment Services (WDS), Windows 2003 Server Remote Installation Service (Itanium only), Linux network installation (Elilo), and TFTP file transfers. To enable UEFI PXE services the following network protocol drivers must be loaded with: snp.efi, bc.efi, and pxedhcp4.efi. These drivers can be loaded from the UEFI "load" shell command, but are often included as part of the UEFI system firmware. The UEFI shell command "drivers" can be used to determine if the UEFI PXE drivers are included in the UEFI implementation. The drivers command will output a table listing drivers loaded in the system. The following entries must be present in order to network boot a UEFI system over PXE:

DRV VERSION TYPE CFG DIAG #D #C DRIVER NAME IMAGE NAME
F5 00000010 D - - 2 - Simple Network Protocol Driver SNP
F7 00000010 D - - 2 - PXE Base Code Driver BC
F9 00000010 D - - 2 - PXE DHCPv4 Driver PxeDhcp4
FA 03004000 B X X 2 2 Intel(R) Network Connection 3.0.00 /e3000e2.efi

A network boot option will appear in the boot options menu when the UEFI PXE network stack and Intel UEFI network driver have been loaded. Selecting this
boot option will initiate a PXE network boot.

Configuring UEFI Network Stack for TCP/UDP/MTFTP

An IP-based network stack is available to applications requiring IP-based network protocols such as TCP, UDP, or MTFTP. The following UEFI network drivers must be built into the UEFI platform implementation to enable this stack: SNP (Simple Network Protocol), MNP (Managed Network Protocol), ARP, DHCP4, IPv4, ip4config, TCPv4, UDPv4, and MTFTPv4. These drivers will show up in the UEFI "drivers" command output if they are included in the platform UEFI implementation:

DRV VERSION TYPE CFG DIAG #D #C DRIVER NAME IMAGE NAME
F5 00000010 D - - 2 - IP4 CONFIG Network Service Driver Ip4Config
F7 00000010 D - - 2 - Simple Network Protocol Driver SNP
F8 00000010 D - - 2 - ARP Network Service Driver Arp
F9 00000010 D - - 2 - Tcp Network Service Driver Tcp4
FA 00000010 D - - 2 - IP4 Network Service Driver Ip4
FB 00000010 D - - 2 - DHCP Protocol Driver Dhcp4
FC 00000010 D - - 6 - UDP Network Service Driver Udp4
FD 00000010 D - - 2 - MTFTP4 Network Service Mtftp4
FE 00000010 B - - 2 6 MNP Network Service Driver /mnp.efi
FF 03099900 B X X 2 2 Intel(R) Network Connection 3.0.00 /e3000e2.efi

The ifconfig UEFI shell command must be used to configure each network interface. Running "ifconfig -?" from the UEFI shell will display usage instructions for ifconfig.

Unloading the UEFI Network Driver

To unload a network driver from memory the UEFI "unload" command is used. The syntax for using the unload command is as follows: "unload [driver handle]", where driver handle is the number assigned to the driver in the far left column of the "drivers" output screen.

Force Speed and Duplex

The UEFI network driver supports forced speed and duplex capability. The force speed and duplex menu can be accessed with UEFI shell command "drvcfg":

drvcfg -s [driver handle] [control handle]

The following speed and duplex configurations can be selected:

The speed and duplex setting selected must match the speed and duplex setting of the connecting network port. A speed and duplex mismatch between ports will result in dropped packets and poor network performance. It is recommended to set all ports on a network to autonegotiate. Connected ports must be set to autonegotiate in order to establish a 1 gigabit per second connection.

Fiber-optic and 10 gigabit ethernet adapters do not support forced speed and duplex.

Diagnostic Capability

The UEFI network driver features built in hardware diagnostic tests. The diagnotic tests are called with the UEFI shell drvdiag command.

"drvdiag -s" -Perform a basic hardware register test
"drvdiag -e" -Perform an internal loopback transmit and receive test

ADDITIONAL TERMS FOR PRE-RELEASE SOFTWARE. If the Software you are installing or using under this Agreement is pre-commercial release or is labeled or otherwise represented as “alpha-“ or “beta-“ versions of the Software ("pre-release Software"), then the following terms apply.

To the extent that any provision in this Section conflicts with any other term(s) or condition(s) in this Agreement with respect to pre-release Software, this Section shall supersede the other term(s) or condition(s), but only to the extent necessary to resolve the conflict.
You understand and acknowledge that the Software is pre-release Software, does not represent the final Software from Intel, and may contain errors and other problems that could cause data loss, system failures, or other errors.

SOME JURISDICTIONS PROHIBIT EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF LIABILITY FOR IMPLIED WARRANTIES OR CONSEQUENTIAL OR INCIDENTAL DAMAGES, SO THE ABOVE LIMITATION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.

Limited Lifetime Hardware Warranty

Intel warrants to the original owner that the adapter product delivered in this package will be free from defects in material and workmanship. This warranty does not cover the adapter product if it is damaged in the process of being installed or improperly used.

THE ABOVE WARRANTY IS IN LIEU OF ANY OTHER WARRANTY, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO ANY WARRANTY OF NONINFRINGEMENT OF INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY, MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE ARISING OUT OF ANY PROPOSAL, SPECIFICATION, OR SAMPLE.

This warranty does not cover replacement of adapter products damaged by abuse, accident, misuse, neglect, alteration, repair, disaster, improper installation, or improper testing. If the adapter product is found to be defective, Intel, at its option, will replace or repair the hardware product at no charge except as set forth below, or refund your purchase price provided that you deliver the adapter product along with a Return Material Authorization (RMA) number (see below), along with proof of purchase (if not registered), either to the dealer from whom you purchased it or to Intel with an explanation of any deficiency. If you ship the adapter product, you must assume the risk of damage or loss in transit. You must use the original container (or the equivalent) and pay the shipping charge.

Intel may replace or repair the adapter product with either new or reconditioned parts, and any adapter product, or part thereof replaced by Intel becomes Intel's property. Repaired or replaced adapter products will be returned to you at the same revision level as received or higher, at Intel's option. Intel reserves the right to replace discontinued adapter products with an equivalent current generation adapter product.

Returning a defective product

From North America:

Before returning any adapter product, contact Intel Customer Support and obtain a Return Material Authorization (RMA) number by calling +1 916-377-7000.

If the Customer Support Group verifies that the adapter product is defective, they will have the RMA department issue you an RMA number to place on the outer package of the adapter product. Intel cannot accept any product without an RMA number on the package.

All other locations:

Return the adapter product to the place of purchase for a refund or replacement.

Intel Adapter Money-back Guarantee (North America Only)

Intel wants you to be completely satisfied with the Intel adapter product that you have purchased. Any time within ninety (90) days of purchase, you may return your Intel adapter to the original place of purchase for a full refund of the purchase price from your dealer. Resellers and distributors, respectively, accepting returns and refunding money back to their customers may return Intel adapters to their original place of purchase. Intel guarantees that it will accept returns under this policy and refund the original purchase price to customers purchasing directly from Intel.

Limitation of Liability and Remedies

INTEL'S SOLE LIABILITY HEREUNDER SHALL BE LIMITED TO DIRECT, OBJECTIVELY MEASURABLE DAMAGES. IN NO EVENT SHALL INTEL HAVE ANY LIABILITY FOR ANY INDIRECT OR SPECULATIVE DAMAGES (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITING THE FOREGOING, CONSEQUENTIAL, INCIDENTAL, AND SPECIAL DAMAGES) INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, INFRINGEMENT OF INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY, REPROCUREMENT COSTS, LOSS OF USE, BUSINESS INTERRUPTIONS, LOSS OF GOODWILL, AND LOSS OF PROFITS, WHETHER ANY SUCH DAMAGES ARISE OUT OF CONTRACT NEGLIGENCE, TORT, OR UNDER ANY WARRANTY, IRRESPECTIVE OF WHETHER INTEL HAS ADVANCE NOTICE OF THE POSSIBILITY OF ANY SUCH DAMAGES. NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING, INTEL'S TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ALL CLAIMS UNDER THIS AGREEMENT SHALL NOT EXCEED THE PRICE PAID FOR THE PRODUCT. THESE LIMITATIONS ON POTENTIAL LIABILITIES WERE AN ESSENTIAL ELEMENT IN SETTING THE PRODUCT PRICE. INTEL NEITHER ASSUMES NOR AUTHORIZES ANYONE TO ASSUME FOR IT ANY OTHER LIABILITIES.

Some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitations may not apply to you.

Critical Control Applications: Intel specifically disclaims liability for use of the adapter product in critical control applications (including, for example only, safety or health care control systems, nuclear energy control systems, or air or ground traffic control systems) by Licensee or Sublicensees, and such use is entirely at the user's risk. Licensee agrees to defend, indemnify, and hold Intel harmless from and against any and all claims arising out of use of the adapter product in such applications by Licensee or Sublicensees.

Software: Software provided with the adapter product is not covered under the hardware warranty described above. See the applicable software license agreement which shipped with the adapter product for details on any software warranty.
