1 Introduction
This program runs in two modes: Manufacturing mode and Engineering mode. The mode is
determined with the command line option or the configuration file. When the program is
running in manufacturing mode, it starts to run all tests in the configuration. If it detects an
error, it displays an error and exits the program. When the program is in engineering mode,
it prompts user to enter commands. The commands are explained in the later chapters. This
document provides the information on configuration file specification, command line
options and engineering diagnostic commands on Broadcom NetXtreme Ethernet adapter,
in particular to check out the functionality of the BCM5700 Family of Ethernet controllers
and its related components. In general, this program has a set of default configuration. It is
overwritten by configuration file. The command line option overwrites both default and the
configuration files.

4 Command line option parameters

When users invoke this program, a set of option parameter can be used to overwrite the
configuration file or the default configuration. This section summarizes the options. The options are
case sensitive.
-putil Call “[Link]” utility to unload PXE driver.

When "-putil" was entered, diag will call another application "[Link]".
"[Link]" will unload PXE and such that diag can have full control over the device.
This option switch should be used when updating firmware with "-firmall" option switch
via PXE connection.

-seldev <VID_DID> option to select devices that match VID and DID

Use this option to select target devices. Other devices, which have different VIDs and
DIDs, will not be selected and listed. This option switch can be used along with “-firm”
and “-firmall” option switches.

Example: a:\b57diag –b57eng –seldev 14e411677

-uump <filename> used for field program of UMP firmware

The feature is used to execute a field upgrade of UMP firmware. The firmware is
programmed into a/the device/s specified by “-c” option switch if UMP firmware is
originally loaded in NVRAM

-dir used for displaying file directory in NVRAM

The feature is used to display file directory in NVRAM. The file directory in the
NVRAM of device/s specified by"-c" option switch will be display. If no "-c"
option switch has been entered, the file directory of all detected devices will be
displayed. In order to log the file directory to a log file, "-l" option switch option
must be entered BEFORE "-dir" option switch. Since this is a single function
command, the will be no "nictest" or other functions will be preformed.

When –f is entered, software uses [Link]’s content for PXE setting.

When –x 1 is entered with –f, software forces PXE enabled.

-t <id> disable test

-T <id> enable test
A certain test is enabled or disabled by default. User can overwrite the enabling status by
those options. The test id must start with a letter ‘A’, ‘B’, ‘C’, or ‘D’ to indication the
group and followed by test numbers. Each digit of number represents the sub-test number.
For example, if the user wants to disable test A1 and A3. The option –t A13 should be
entered. If no test numbers entered, all tests in that group are selected. For the tests not
specified, the default setting will be used. To enable or disable all tests, use the wildcard
character “*” by itself.

Example: -t A15BC1 -T C4 –t D2
This disables A1, A5, B1, B2, B3, B4, B5, B6, C1, D2 and enables C4

-m Program MAC address

If this option is entered, the program will prompt user for a new MAC address to be
enter/scan before testing starts.

-mac <mac address> Program MAC address from command line

If this option is entered, the program will retrieve MAC address right after the –mac option
is entered. The mac address has to be entered in hex and as shown in the following
example:
b57diag –mac 001018010203

-fmac <filename> Program MAC address from a file

If this option is entered, the program will retrieve MAC address from the specified file
before starts testing. If the test passes, the MAC address from the specified file will be
incremented; if not, it will stay unchanged. The text file which contains the MAC address
range has the following format and the numbers are in hexadecimal:
mac_addr_pref = xxxxxx => Which is the prefix of the MAC address.
mac_addr_start = xxxxxx => Which is the start of the address range.
mac_addr_end = xxxxxx => Which is the end of the address range.
Example:
mac_addr_pref = 001018
mac_addr_start = 000100
mac_addr_end = 000FFF
Working in conjunction with –f <file> option, this –fmac option is equivalent to option –m.

9 Same System Send/Respond Test

During a send/respond test two Broadcom Ethernet devices in the same system are
connected via a CAT5 (RJ45) cable and data is transmitted and received across the cable. In
the above setup one device is the device under test (DUT) and the other is the reference
device. Any Broadcom device that is supported by diagnostics can be used as the DUT or
the reference device.

9.1 Identifying a reference device

A reference device needs to be identified in order to test a DUT against the reference
device. The user can use the “b57diag –dids” command to display all the devices in the
system. Each device is assigned a number that is displayed on the screen in the first column
just before the device type. A user selects the number of the device that is to be used as the
reference and uses this number to test the DUT as described in the next section.

9.2 Testing the DUT against the reference device

After identifying the reference device, as described in the previous section, the user can test
the DUT by running “b57diag –rf 0 –c 1 –t abcd –T d3”. Each of the previous options are
described in the table below (details of each option are provided in the “Command line
option parameters” section above).

-rf 0 Identifies the reference device as device 0.

-c 1 Identifies the DUT as device 1.

–t abcd Disables all tests (Disable all tests in group a, b, c, and d).

–T d3 Perform the external loopback test that will transmit data from the DUT to the
reference device, via the CAT5 cable, then the reference device will receive
the data and transmit it back, via the CAT5 cable, to the DUT which will
verify the received data.

9.3 Other Options for the Send/Respond test

The following options can be used with the send/respond test (details of each option are
provided in the “Command line option parameters” section above).

-lbspd t/h/g Selects any combination of line speed to run the loopback test (by
default runs all line speeds).

–lbe g:h:t Selects the number of packets to send during the loopback test (g, h & t
are the 1000/100/10 megabit packet counts respectively) (default values
are g=2000, h=1000, t=600). It is mandatory that all packets counts are
entered with this command line switch.
