I've tried hard, but it's impossible.
I have wasted 4 hours on this :(
1. DOS-way - no-way.
I've burned RAM-DOS iso from Development Toolkit 2.0,
it boots ok, but entering dos shell mode neither allows me
to see usb-key nor even second CD with firmware files.
Both available disk (C:, D:) are RAM-DOS controlled.
2. So then I've tried Intel Development Aassistant 1.3
(isolinux etc). Very nice tool, but:
a) Intel on-line updates show January'08 versions
as lastest (these I already have installed this way)
b) software packages (.zip) for DOS updates that I've downloaded
from April last update are not seen from IDA (even if
release.txt says they should)
3. So I've created my own zip with R0088.Cap, ALBMC63C.hex
etc and edited flashupdt.cfg manually to point to new files.
My own created zip was discovered and I've managed to upgrade
bios to v88, but.. BMC firmware still seems not to be seen
by IDA. At least no new version is shown in the update table.
I didn't risk bricking my server to I've tried tha final way:
