Burning The Mfa2 Images; Mstflint: Managing An Expansion Rom Image - Nvidia MSTFLINT Manual

5. Read FW from the device and save it as an image file.
# mstflint -d
6. MT58100 SwitchX switch:
Burn the image on a blank Flash device. Meaning, no GUIDs/MACs are currently burnt
on the device, therefore they must be supplied (with -guid/-guids and -mac/-macs) by
the burning command. Moreover, the burn process cannot be failsafe when burning a
blank Flash, therefore the -nofs flag must be specified.
# mstflint -d
000002c900002100 -macs 0002c9002100 0002c9002101 b
Burning the MFA2 Images
Burning the MFA2 images enables the user to extract (i.e. unzip) 4MB images from MFA2 archive that
matches the device type and device PSID. If there are more than one matching images, the user may
use the flag and burn the latest firmware, or choose the required image from the user
--latest_fw
menu.

The device flash MUST have all relevant device information (signatures, PSID, VPD, DEV_INFO,
MFG_INFO, etc.) valid since MFA2 format does not have that information and without the burn
process will fail.
#mstflint -d <device> -i <mfa2 file> --psid <PSID string> (optionally) --
latest_fw (optionally) –silent (optionally) b (or burn)
• Burning the MFA2 Images when the Device Includes a Valid Image
In this scenario, the user may (optional) provide a
MFA2 archive the image that matches this flag, and this way actually change the PSID
on the device.
• Burning the MFA2 Images when in Live Fish Mode
In this scenario, the user must provide a
archive the image that matches this flag, and this way actually change the PSID on the
device.

Burning mfa2 requires installing mstflint with --enable-fw-mgr option.

mstflint: Managing an Expansion ROM Image

To burn an Expansion ROM image, run the following command:
# mstflint -d <mst device> brom <image name>.mrom
The "brom" command installs the ROM image on the flash device or replaces an already existing one.
Example:
41:00.0 -i fw-4099-2_42_5000-MCX354A-FCB_A2.bin -nofs
burn
41:00.0 ri Flash_Image_Copy.bin
41:00.0 -i /tmp/fw-sx.bin -nofs -guids 000002c900002100
