[SOLVED] Problem Flashing with BOOTUTILW64E [FLB File]

[robinsmidsrod]

I went searching in my #ipxe IRC logs, and found this line from mouse in 2014:

Quote:20140519-075533Z #ipxe: <mouse> BTW, do you have spec / tool to create FLB file from Option ROM to flash it via bootutil? current bootutil doesn't accept option rom as is. I've made a workaround by saveimage, cut the FLB header and glue it with iPXE option rom.

and again reiterated by mcb30 a while later

Quote:20140821-000836Z #ipxe: <mcb30> a) use an older version of bootutil
20140821-000848Z #ipxe: <mcb30> b) use flashrom (if it supports your NIC) instead of bootutil
20140821-000912Z #ipxe: <mcb30> c) try mouse's hint that "bootutil required FLB format only. Raw Option ROM is not accepted. To workaround just saveimage, cut the header and prepend it to the iPXE Option ROM. Then everything started to flash and work"

So maybe you should try option C and see how that works out for you. I'm not sure what the format of the FLB header is, but you'll have to compare the raw option rom with the .flb file generated by saveimage, and then you'll hopefully figure out which byte index the raw option rom image starts and the FLB header ends.

Best of luck! Please document how you did it here if you actually figure it out.
