Dear All,
We are trying to bringup an 82599 device on our Intel based board.
We are using the 82599_XAUI_NO_MNG_4.25/82599_XAUI_NO_MNG_4.25.bin
file from the 82599_EEPROM.zip ZIP archive, programmed into a
AT25256 and then connected to the 82599. Is this the correct procedure
for this?
When we boot linux, the 82599 shows up in lspci as expected.
However the driver shows the following errors:
linux:~ # dmesg | grep ixgbe
[ 5.962844] ixgbe: Intel(R) 10 Gigabit PCI Express Network Driver - version 3.19.1-k
[ 5.962847] ixgbe: Copyright (c) 1999-2014 Intel Corporation.
[ 6.051039] ixgbe 0000:01:00.0: The EEPROM Checksum Is Not Valid
[ 6.051157] ixgbe: probe of 0000:01:00.0 failed with error -5
[ 6.140016] ixgbe 0000:01:00.1: The EEPROM Checksum Is Not Valid
[ 6.140111] ixgbe: probe of 0000:01:00.1 failed with error -5
linux:~ #
Is the checksum in 82599_XAUI_NO_MNG_4.25.bin really not correct?
I tried using eeupdate under DOS to fix this, but eeupdate doesn't
seem to work right either. I tried the /CALCCHKSUM option first,
then the /MAC_DUMP option, but both give the same error message.
I read the EEPROM back afterwards. Somehow 0x387, 0x388, 0x3A3 and
0x384 got cleared, but these aren't the checksum bits.
What does the eeupdate error message:
Unable to initialize adapter 2 code c86a2002
Adapter initialization failed
actually mean?
Any idea about how to continue with this?
