Firmware / Recovering the BMC on the Talos II
« on: September 30, 2020, 07:00:28 am »
Hi,
I'm currently working on flashing the BMC in my Talos II after a failed update. Currently the system will not boot due to a corrupted image.
Using the instructions here: https://wiki.raptorcs.com/wiki/Debricking_the_BMC I am following the steps in the "Flash new BMC firmware via serial port (Open Source Method)" section.
I have some questions about the process:
1) Where is the "FPGA RUN/RESET switch" mentioned in step 3? Is this jumper J7800 on the motherboard?
2) Step 6 says it takes a long time. The flashrom process has now been running for over 35 hours and is at 81% of the initial "Reading old flash chip contents..." step. How much longer will this take? Should it really take several days to flash the BMC?
3) Assuming the process completes, the final step says to set the "FPGA RUN/RESET switch" again... I then power off/on to complete the process?
Thanks,
James
