B57 Utilities Program User's Guide
This chapter provides the following information:
Introduction
This document provides the information on how to use the B57util utilities DOS program on Broadcom NetXtreme™ Gigabit Ethernet adapter, in particular BCM5700 and its related components.
All commands can be entered from DOS prompt or CLI, the Command Line Interface, prompt. When program is run without parameter, the CLI mode is entered. Otherwise, the parameter will be used as command to be executed and exit the program after.
In CLI, assuming there are three devices in the system, all devices information always displayed before each prompt as the following example:

Functions Description
wole
cmd: wole
Description: Enable WOL.
Syntax: [-]wole devnum
devnum : Device number. It can be one or more devices in the list. Use ‘all’ for all devices.
The syntax for devnum is as followed:
<d [,d]… | all>
Where d is the device number 0 to number of devices – 1. For example, if you have three devices in the system, the valid device number is 0, 1, or 2.
Example:
From DOS prompt:
C:\>b57util wole 0 ; Enable WOL for device 0
C:\>b57util –allwole ; Enable WOL for all devices found in the system
From CLI prompt:
b57util>wole 0,2 ; Enable WOL for device 0 and device 2
Please note there is no spaces allowed in the device list. Furthermore, the ‘all’ parameter must be in lower case.
The ‘-‘ before command is optional to support compatibility with b57man.
wold
cmd: wold
Description: Disable WOL.
Syntax: [-]wold devnum
devnum : Device number. It can be one or more devices in the list. Use ‘all’ for all devices.
The devnum parameter is same as wole command. Please see wole command for the examples.
pxee
cmd: pxee
Description:Enable PXE.
Syntax: [-]pxee devnum
devnum : Device number. It can be one or more devices in the list. Use ‘all’ for all devices.
The devnum parameter is same as wole commend. Please see wole command for the examples.
pxed
cmd: pxed
Description:Disable PXE.
Syntax: [-]pxed devnum
devnum : Device number. It can be one or more devices in the list. Use ‘all’ for all devices.
The devnum parameter is same as wole command. Please see wole command for the examples.
pxes
cmd: pxes
Description: Change PXE speed
Syntax: [-]pxes devnum <auto | 10half | 10full | 100half | 100full>
devnum : Device number. It can be one or more devices in the list. Use ‘all’ for all devices.
The devnum parameter is same as wole command. The speed must be entered in lower case and exact spelling as stated in the Syntax.
Example:
Changes all device to speed auto for PXE.
C:\>b57util pxes all auto
upgf
cmd: upgf
Description: Upgrade the EEPROM content
Syntax: [-]upgf devnum <boot | base | pxe | undi> [path]
devnum : Device number. It can be one or more devices in the list. Use ‘all’ for all devices.
The devnum parameter is same as wole command. Please see wole command for the examples.
There are four kinds of images can be programmed in to EEPROM: eeprom.bin, b57base.bin, b57pxe.bin, and b57undi.bin.
When ‘boot’ option is entered, the firmware boot code "eeprom.bin" is programmed into eeprom. When one of ‘base’, ‘pxe’, and ‘undi’ parameter is entered, the b57xxx.bin image is programmed into PXE area.
The optional [path] parameter is used to specify where the file is if it is not in the same directory as b57util.exe.
ver
cmd: ver
Description: Display software version.
Syntax: ver
Example:
C:\>b57util
–ver
b57util.exe V1.6
