Hi,
I recently bought 2 300 Mhz UltraSparcII modules on Ebay to put into
my Ultra2. After setting the jumper, the box boots fine with the
CPUs and I am able to start the kernel (2.4.25, SMP).
However, I have to update the PROM, the CPUs are only running at
180 Mhz. OK, understandable, because SUN says 3.11.2 or later and
I have 3.1.5. So, I tried to netboot the flash binary (I have no
Solaris) after I popped in the old CPUs:
Sun Ultra 2 UPA/SBus (2 X UltraSPARC 168MHz), No Keyboard
OpenBoot 3.1.5, 384 MB memory installed, Serial #8585685.
Ethernet address 8:0:20:83:1:d5, Host ID: 808301d5.
{0} ok boot net flash-update-Ultra2-09
Boot device: /sbus/SUNW,[EMAIL PROTECTED],8c00000 File and args:
flash-update-Ultra2-09
Using Onboard Transceiver - Link Up.

Ugh. I tried this in various ways, but never succeeded. But after unpacking
104169-08.tar.Z, I ended up with this directory:
arbas:~/hardware/sun/firmware/104169-08> ls
802-3233-20.ps* flash-update-Ultra2-05*
README.104169-08 flash-update-Ultra2-06*
flash-update-Ultra2-01* flash-update-Ultra2-07*
flash-update-Ultra2-02* flash-update-Ultra2-08*
flash-update-Ultra2-03* flash-update-Ultra2-09*
flash-update-Ultra2-04* flash-update-Ultra2-latest@
So, the binary in question is flash-update-Ultra2-09, or what?
Now, more questions: would it be possible to use the PROM flashing module
from Linux? I can load the necessary modules just fine:
Module Size Used by Not tainted
flash 2304 0 (unused)
openpromfs 12864 1
openprom 5140 0 (unused)
vfat 11600 0 (unused)
nfsd 76472 0 (unused)
msdos 6056 0 (unused)
fat 37480 0 [vfat msdos]
lp 8616 0 (unused)
parport 35664 0 [lp]
nbd 21392 0 (unused)
Or should I first upgrade the kernel? 2.4.25 is pretty old.
And what would be the magic lines to start the flashing? How should
I prepare the data for flashing?
Thanks a lot for any pointer,
Uli
