PCI gigabit eprom dump - marmotta - 05-10-2021
Hi! I'am in search of sgi 9470434 eprom dump, anyone have it? If anyone have this board the dump with ethtool is very simple... the goal is use this file to write a eeprom of my ibm gigabit board (same as sgi 9470434). Thank in advance

Hi Marmotta,
please provide details of how to get dump (including getting the ethernet card version).
I have two SGI boxes with 1GBE cards, one with Single port (in Fuel) and one with Dual Port (in Octane2).
Cheers from Oz,
jwhat/John.

The board is generic part number 200027c chipset Tigon originally is Alteon AceNIC 1000. The sgi part number is 9470434, but is the same card.
I follow this guide http://rqsall.com/sgi/tricks/gigabit_ethernet for change the pci_id (vendor and model) but my board seems to be locked... I can’t read or write the eeprom. :-(
If you can read the eeprom you can try to execute: “ethtool -e (devicename) raw on > eeprom-backup.bin“
Ethtool is available on linux, I think is not available on Irix...
