If the EFI utility and firmware image files are located in
the root directory, enter the efi8xxfl command at the prompt as
illustrated below. Otherwise, cd to the directory these files are
located in and continue.
The following main window screen appears:

Which chip/adapter (0 to quit)?
The main window allows the user to choose which SCSI chip
the path to the flash memory will pass through to perform the selected
tasks. Dual channel cards will have two entries displayed on this
screen, one for each SCSI chip.
In the example above, the system has two SCSI HBAs, one on
bus 0x09, the other on bus 0xC0.
The HBA on bus 0xC0 is a single channel HBA with flash memory
part number AT29C010.
The HBA on bus 0x09 is a dual-channel HBA (func 0x00 and func
0x01) with flash memory part number Am29F010.
Since both channels of a dual channel board share the same
flash memory, only one of the paths needs to be chosen. No harm
will be done if separate updates are done through both paths, but
be aware that each update overwrites the existing contents of the
flash memory.
The "53C875 / 53C876" and "SYMC1010" designations
in the lines that begin "LSI Logic, Inc.", indicate
that those devices use the 53C876E and 53C1010 LSI SCSI chips respectively.
If a device did not contain an LSI Logic SCSI chip that is supported
by this EFI utility, the lines listing the chip numbers would not
appear in the display. The HP A5159B SCSI HBA is based on the LSI
Logic 53C876E SCSI chip. The other HBA in the example is an HP A6828A
single channel ultra 160 SCSI HBA, which is based on the LSI Logic
53C1010 SCSI chip.
At the "Which chip/adapter (0 to quit)?" prompt, enter the
"Choice" number that corresponds to the SCSI chip associated with
the flash memory you want to update, as illustrated in the following
example where chip 1 is selected:

The following menu will be displayed:

The banner at the top of the option menu displays the version
of the EFI update utility (1.01.10 in this example) and the release
date (10.16.2002 in this example).
The details on each of the menu choices are as follows:
a Identify Flash Image Shows the version number of the
image in the flash memory associated with the currently selected
chip or the image contained in the firmware image file.
b Download New Flash Image Overwrites the flash memory
associated with the currently selected chip with a new firmware
image file. The user will be queried for a file name.
Note: The EFI utility will not flash an image that exceeds
the capacity of the flash memory on the selected HBA. Instead
a warning message will be displayed.
c Upload Current Flash Image to a File Saves the image
from the flash memory associated with the currently selected chip
to a file. The user will be queried for a file name.
d Erase Entire Flash Part Erases the entire flash memory
associated with the currently selected chip. Once the flash memory
has been erased, option b (above) must be executed before the HBA
will be able to function in the boot sequence.
