• 1237c98db   [SCSI] aic94xx: update BIOS image from user space. ... Browse Code »

  1. Create a file "update_bios" in sysfs to allow user to update bios
  from user space.

  2. The BIOS image file can be downloaded from web site

  "http://www.adaptec.com/en-US/downloads/bios_fw/bios_fw_ver?productId=SAS-48300&dn=Adaptec+Serial+Attached+SCSI+48300"
  and copy the BIOS image into /lib/firmware folder.

  3. The aic994xx will accept "update bios_file" and "verify bios_file"
  commands to perform update and verify BIOS image .

  For example:

  Type "echo "update asc483c01.ufi" > /sys/devices/.../update_bios"
  to update BIOS image from /lib/firmware/as483c01.ufi file into
  HBA's flash memory.

  Type "echo "verify asc483c01.ufi" > /sys/devices/.../update_bios"
  to verify BIOS image between /lib/firmware/asc48c01.ufi file
  and
  HBA's flash memory.

  4. Type "cat /sys/devices/.../update_bios" to view the status or
  result
  of updating BIOS.
