Hi Ramkishore, we have a generic firmware flashing tool in OpenSolaris, it's called "fwflash" and is available in build 89 onwards. The flagday message is here http://www.opensolaris.org/os/community/on/flag-days/pages/2008042601 and the spec + email about the new design are here http://www.opensolaris.org/os/community/arc/caselog/2008/151/spec-txt http://www.opensolaris.org/os/community/arc/caselog/2008/151/mail We do not have any plugins - yet - to do what I think it is that you are describing. What sort of pci controller do you want to flash? What do you want to flash it with? James C.
