eeprom(1M)                                                                                                                              eeprom(1M)

NAME
eeprom - EEPROM display and load utility SYNOPSIS
SPARC /usr/platform/ platform-name /sbin/eeprom [-] [-f device] [ parameter [=value]] /usr/platform/ platform-name /sbin/eeprom [-] [-f device] [-I] [mmu-modlist] [ parameter [ =value]] eeprom displays or changes the values of parameters in the EEPROM. It processes parameters in the order given. When processing a parameter accompanied by a value, eeprom makes the indicated alteration to the EEPROM; otherwise, it displays the parameter's value. When given no parameter specifiers, eeprom displays the values of all EEPROM parameters. A `-' (hyphen) flag specifies that parameters and values are to be read from the standard input (one parameter or parameter=value per line). Only the super-user may alter the EEPROM contents. eeprom verifies the EEPROM checksums and complains if they are incorrect. platform-name is the name of the platform implementation and can be found using the -i option of uname(1). SPARC SPARC based systems implement firmware password protection with eeprom, using the security-mode, security-password and security-#badlogins properties. EEPROM storage is simulated using a file residing in the platform-specific boot area. The /boot/solaris/bootenv.rc file simulates EEPROM storage. Because based systems typically implement password protection in the system BIOS, there is no support for password protection in the eep- rom program. While it is possible to set the security-mode, security-password and security-#badlogins properties on based systems, these properties have no special meaning or behavior on based systems. -f device Use device as the EEPROM device. Only acpi-user-options A configuration variable that controls the use of ACPI. A value of 0x0 attempts to use ACPI if it is available on the system. A value of 0x2 disables the use of ACPI. Defaults to 0x0. console Specifies the console device. Possible values are ttya, ttyb, text, and graphics. In text mode, console output goes to the frame buffer and input comes from keyboard. Graphics mode is similar to text mode except that text output is replaced by a graphics screen, When this property is not present, the console device falls back to input-device and output-device. When no property is present, console defaults to text. NVRAM CONFIGURATION PARAMETERS
Not all OpenBoot systems support all parameters. Defaults vary depending on the system and the PROM revision. See the output in the "Default Value" column of the printenv command, as entered at the ok (OpenBoot) prompt, to determine the default for your system. auto-boot? If true, boots automatically after power-on or reset. Defaults to true. On , this parameter is controlled by the grub menu file. See installgrub(1M). ansi-terminal? Configuration variable used to control the behavior of the terminal emulator. The value false makes the terminal emulator stop inter- preting ANSI escape sequences; instead, echoes them to the output device. Defaults to true. boot-args Holds a string of arguments that are passed to the boot subsystem. For example, you can use boot-args=' - install dhcp' to request a customer jumpstart installation. See boot(1M), kadb(1M) and kernel(1M). boot-command Command executed if auto-boot? is true. Defaults to boot. boot-device Device from which to boot. boot-device may contain 0 or more device specifiers separated by spaces. Each device specifier may be either a prom device alias or a prom device path. The boot prom will attempt to open each successive device specifier in the list beginning with the first device specifier. The first device specifier that opens successfully will be used as the device to boot from. Defaults to disk net. boot-file File to boot (an empty string lets the secondary booter choose default). Defaults to empty string. boot-from Boot device and file (OpenBoot PROM version 1.x only). Defaults to vmunix. boot-from-diag Diagnostic boot device and file (OpenBoot PROM version 1.x only). Defaults to le()unix. comX-noprobe Where X is the number of the serial port, prevents device probe on serial port X. diag-device Diagnostic boot source device. Defaults to net. diag-file File from which to boot in diagnostic mode. Defaults to empty string. diag-level Diagnostics level. Values include off, min, max and menus. There may be additional platform-specific values. When set to off, POST is not called. If POST is called, the value is made available as an argument to, and is interpreted by POST. Defaults to platform-depen- dent. diag-switch? If true, run in diagnostic mode. Defaults to false on most desktop systems, true on most servers. error-reset-recovery Recover after an error reset trap. Defaults to platform-specific setting. On platforms supporting this variable, it replaces the watchdog-reboot?, watchdog-sync?, redmode-reboot?, redmode-sync?, sir-sync?, and xir-sync? parameters. The options are: none Print a message describing the reset trap and go to OpenBoot PROM's user interface, aka OK prompt. sync Invoke OpenBoot PROM's sync word after the reset trap. Some platforms may treat this as none after an externally initiated reset (XIR) trap. boot Reboot after the reset trap. Some platforms may treat this as none after an XIR trap. fcode-debug? If true, include name parameter for plug-in device FCodes. Defaults to false. hardware-revision System version information. input-device Input device used at power-on (usually keyboard, ttya, or ttyb). Defaults to keyboard. keyboard-click? If true, enable keyboard click. Defaults to false. keymap Keymap for custom keyboard. last-hardware-update System update information. load-base Default load address for client programs. Default value is 16384. local-mac-address? If true, network drivers use their own MAC address, not the system's. Defaults to false. mfg-mode Manufacturing mode argument for POST. Possible values include off or chamber. The value is passed as an argument to POST. Defaults to off. mfg-switch? If true, repeat system self-tests until interrupted with STOP-A. Defaults to false. nvramrc Contents of NVRAMRC. Defaults to empty. network-boot-arguments Arguments to be used by the PROM for network booting. Defaults to an empty string. network-boot-arguments can be used to specify the boot protocol (RARP/DHCP) to be used and a range of system knowledge to be used in the process. The syntax for arguments supported for network booting is: [protocol,] [key=value,]* All arguments are optional and can appear in any order. Commas are required unless the argument is at the end of the list. If speci- fied, an argument takes precedence over any default values, or, if booting using DHCP, over configuration information provided by a DHCP server for those parameters. protocol, above, specifies the address discovery protocol to be used. Configuration parameters, listed below, are specified as key=value attribute pairs. tftp-server IP address of the TFTP server file file to download using TFTP or URL for WAN boot host-ip IP address of the client (in dotted-decimal notation) router-ip IP address of the default router (in dotted-decimal notation) subnet-mask subnet mask (in dotted-decimal notation) client-id DHCP client identifier hostname hostname to use in DHCP transactions http-proxy HTTP proxy server specification (IPADDR[:PORT]) tftp-retries maximum number of TFTP retries dhcp-retries maximum number of DHCP retries If no parameters are specified (that is, network-boot-arguments is an empty string), the PROM will use the platform-specific default address discovery protocol. Absence of the protocol parameter when other configuration parameters are specified implies manual configuration. Manual configuration requires that the client be provided with all the information necessary for boot. If using manual configuration, information required by the PROM to load the second-stage boot program must be provided in network-boot-arguments while information required for the second-stage boot program can be specified either as arguments to the boot program or by means of the boot program's interactive command interpreter. Information required by the PROM when using manual configuration includes the booting client's IP address, name of the boot file, and the address of the server providing the boot file image. Depending on network configuration, it might be required that the subnet mask and address of the default router to use also be specified. oem-banner Custom OEM banner (enabled by setting oem-banner? to true). Defaults to empty string. oem-banner? If true, use custom OEM banner. Defaults to false. oem-logo Byte array custom OEM logo (enabled by setting oem-logo? to true). Displayed in hexadecimal. oem-logo? If true, use custom OEM logo (else, use Sun logo). Defaults to false. output-device Output device used at power-on (usually screen, ttya, or ttyb). Defaults to screen. redmode-reboot? Specify true to reboot after a redmode reset trap. Defaults to true. (Sun Enterprise 10000 only.) redmode-sync? Specify true to invoke OpenBoot PROM's sync word after a redmode reset trap. Defaults to false. (Sun Enterprise 10000 only.) rootpath Specifies the root device of the operating system. sbus-probe-list Designate which SBus slots are probed and in what order. Defaults to 0123. screen-#columns Number of on-screen columns (characters/line). Defaults to 80. screen-#rows Number of on-screen rows (lines). Defaults to 34. scsi-initiator-id SCSI bus address of host adapter, range 0-7. Defaults to 7. sd-targets Map SCSI disk units (OpenBoot PROM version 1.x only). Defaults to 31204567, which means that unit 0 maps to target 3, unit 1 maps to target 1, and so on. security-#badlogins Number of incorrect security password attempts.This property has no special meaning or behavior on based systems. security-mode Firmware security level (options: none, command, or full). If set to command or full, system will prompt for PROM security password. Defaults to none.This property has no special meaning or behavior on based systems. security-password Firmware security password (never displayed). Can be set only when security-mode is set to command or full.This property has no special meaning or behavior on based systems. example# eeprom security-password= Changing PROM password: New password: Retype new password: selftest-#megs Megabytes of RAM to test. Ignored if diag-switch? is true. Defaults to 1. sir-sync? Specify true to invoke OpenBoot PROM's sync word after a software-initiated reset (SIR) trap. Defaults to false. (Sun Enterprise 10000 only.) skip-vme-loopback? If true, POST does not do VMEbus loopback tests. Defaults to false. st-targets Map SCSI tape units (OpenBoot PROM version 1.x only). Defaults to 45670123, which means that unit 0 maps to target 4, unit 1 maps to target 5, and so on. sunmon-compat? If true, display Restricted Monitor prompt (>). Defaults to false. testarea One-byte scratch field, available for read/write test. Defaults to 0. tpe-link-test? Enable 10baseT link test for built-in twisted pair Ethernet. Defaults to true. ttya-mode TTYA (baud rate, #bits, parity, #stop, handshake). Defaults to 9600,8,n,1,-. Fields, in left-to-right order, are: Baud rate: 110, 300, 1200, 4800, 9600... Data bits: 5, 6, 7, 8 Parity: n(none), e(even), o(odd), m(mark), s(space) Stop bits: 1, 1.5, 2 Handshake: -(none), h(hardware:rts/cts), s(software:xon/xoff) ttyb-mode TTYB (baud rate, #bits, parity, #stop, handshake). Defaults to 9600,8,n,1,-. Fields, in left-to-right order, are: Baud rate: 110, 300, 1200, 4800, 9600... Data bits: 5, 6, 7, 8 Stop bits: 1, 1.5, 2 Parity: n(none), e(even), o(odd), m(mark), s(space) Handshake: -(none), h(hardware:rts/cts), s(software:xon/xoff) ttya-ignore-cd If true, operating system ignores carrier-detect on TTYA. Defaults to true. ttyb-ignore-cd If true, operating system ignores carrier-detect on TTYB. Defaults to true. ttya-rts-dtr-off If true, operating system does not assert DTR and RTS on TTYA. Defaults to false. ttyb-rts-dtr-off If true, operating system does not assert DTR and RTS on TTYB. Defaults to false. use-nvramrc? If true, execute commands in NVRAMRC during system start-up. Defaults to false. verbosity Controls the level of verbosity of PROM messages. Can be one of debug, max, normal, min, or none. Defaults to normal. version2? If true, hybrid (1.x/2.x) PROM comes up in version 2.x. Defaults to true. watchdog-reboot? If true, reboot after watchdog reset. Defaults to false. watchdog-sync? Specify true to invoke OpenBoot PROM's sync word after a watchdog reset trap. Defaults to false. ( Sun Enterprise 10000 only.) xir-sync? Specify true to invoke OpenBoot PROM's sync word after an XIR trap. Defaults to false. (Sun Enterprise 10000 only.) Example 1: Changing the Number of Megabytes of RAM. The following example demonstrates the method for changing from one to two the number of megabytes of RAM that the system will test. example# eeprom selftest-#megs selftest-#megs=1 example# eeprom selftest-#megs=2 example# eeprom selftest-#megs selftest-#megs=2 Example 2: Setting the auto-boot? Parameter to true. The following example demonstrates the method for setting the auto-boot? parameter to true. example# eeprom auto-boot?=true When the eeprom command is executed in user mode, the parameters with a trailing question mark (?) need to be enclosed in double quotation marks (" ") to prevent the shell from interpreting the question mark. Preceding the question mark with an escape character () will also prevent the shell from interpreting the question mark. example% eeprom "auto-boot?"=true Example 3: Using network-boot-arguments To use DHCP as the boot protocol and a hostname of abcd.example.com for network booting, set these values in network-boot-arguments as: example# eeprom network-boot-arguments="dhcp,hostname=abcd.example.com" ...then boot using the command: ok boot net Note that network boot arguments specified from the PROM command line cause the contents of network-boot-arguments to be ignored. For exam- ple, with network-boot-arguments set as shown above, the boot command: ok boot net:dhcp ...causes DHCP to be used, but the hostname specified in network-boot-arguments will not be used during network boot. Example 4: Setting System Console to Auxiliary Device The command below assigns the device /dev/term/a as the system console device. You would make such an assignment prior to using tip(1) to establish a tip connection to a host. On a SPARC machine: # eeprom output-device=/dev/term/a On an machine: # eeprom console=ttya On a SPARC machine, the preceding command would be sufficient for assigning the console to an auxiliary device. For an machine, you might, in addition, need to set the characteristics of the serial line, for which you would have to consult the BIOS documentation for that machine. Also, on some machines, you might use a device other than device a, as shown above. For example, you could set console to ttyb if the second serial port is present. /boot/solaris/bootenv.rc File storing eeprom values on machines. /dev/openprom Device file /usr/platform/platform-name/sbin/eeprom Platform-specific version of eeprom. Use uname -i to obtain platform-name.
