Problems solved by technology

[0005] At present, some technicians will also write some batch processing to include the commands to update the firmware, but for the MAC address, it still needs to be manually entered. Because the MAC address is long, it has six segments, and each segment is two hexadecimal numbers. , separated by a colon such as 00:10:18:D3:01:01, the typing efficiency is low and it is easy to cause misoperation
[0006] Now there are usually three ways to write and burn the MAC address: first, the method of generating random numbers as the MAC address, second, manually typing in the MAC address scheme we wrote, third, scanning the MAC address barcode scheme with an electronic scanning gun, the second One solution, although the probability of generating random numbers with duplicate MAC addresses is very small, it is still possible to generate duplicate MAC addresses. Once the MAC addresses are duplicated and conflicts occur, the network card cannot be used normally. The second method is to manually enter The MAC address is likely to be duplicated due to misoperation, resulting in the failure of the normal use of the network card. The third method, if there are a lot of MAC addresses to be burned, there will be a lot of corresponding barcodes, the operation is time-consuming, and it is easy to misuse. It wastes a lot of time to rework back and forth, which is inefficient

Embodiment Construction

[0029] The specific implementation manners of the present invention will be further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0030] The method of the present invention utilizes the burning tool tool provided by the provider of the network card chip to write the commands for burning boot code and configuration options, including the MAC address, into a batch file. Add 1 to the address, so that the boot code and configuration options of the network cards are the same, but the MAC addresses of each network card are different.

[0031] The difficulty of the present invention is to realize that after burning the firmware of a network card chip each time, it is necessary to add 1 to the MAC address for the use of the next network card chip, because it is difficult to operate text files under DOS. Take Broadcom's BCM5709S as an example to illustrate the specific implementation steps of this invention. Although the specific implementation methods and ...

Abstract

The invention relates to a method for programming an NIC (network interface card) firmware with one click. By using a programming tool provided by a manufacturer, the command which programmes a boot code and a configuration option, including an MAC (media access control) address, is written into a batch file, and when the batch file is executed at each time, the MAC address is added with 1, therefore, the boot code and the configuration option of an NIC are the same, but the MAC address of each NIC is different. In the method, with one click, updating the whole firmware can be finished automatically, which is convenient and rapid, so that the production efficiency can be increased, and the faulty operation of production workers is avoided.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method for burning network card firmware, in particular to a one-button method for burning network card firmware. Background technique [0002] Introduction to the main functions of the network card firmware: First, the network card firmware is composed of boot code and config configuration options. The boot code is used to initialize the network card into an initial working state, and then the config configuration options can be modified to achieve some configurable options for the network card. The function is configured to meet our needs. In addition, the configuration option includes a very important configuration option (MAC address) of the network card. [0003] Based on the above situation, usually the network card manufacturer will provide a burning tool (such as an executable file under the dos operating system as a burning tool), and burn the firmware (including boot code and config configuration options) of the net...
