I'm trying to flash a modem with uniflash v1.28. The bios is supported (Atmel AT49F002T), but the card doesn't get recognized so it can't be flashed. I tried manually specifying the location with something like -pcior 0 9 0, but that doesn't work either. I see in the BUG section that
PCI Option ROM Flashing (-pcior parameter) doesn't work on many cards
so is the modem card the problem here?
I'd be interested to hear the details of *why* -pcior doesn't necessarily work for many cards.
Thanks!
UNIFLASH -pcior
What? Modem with a BIOS? Modems do not have BIOS.
Patched and tested BIOSes are at http://wims.rainbow-software.org

Firmware is not BIOS! BIOS is code that's executed by system CPU while firmware is code that's executed by the device (DSP on the modem). So the (Flash/EE/E/P)ROM on the modem is not PCI Expansion ROM (can't be memory mapped).

Makes some sense. The modem flash utilities do usually run under Win32 rather than from a bootdisk. Would Uniflash be helpful in creating such a utility? Is there any project out there that has does any work on such a program? It would certainly be useful.Rainbow wrote:Firmware is not BIOS!
