1. Introduction
This document provides the information on how to use the b57util utilities DOS program on
Broadcom Gigabit Ethernet adapter, in particular BCM570x and its related components.
All commands can be entered from DOS prompt or CLI, the Command Line Interface,
prompt. When program is run without parameter, the CLI mode is entered. Otherwise, the
parameter will be used as command to be executed and exit the program after.
In CLI, assuming there are three devices in the system, all devices information always displayed
before each prompt as the following example:

4. Functions Description
4.1 wole
cmd: wole
Description:Enable WOL.
Syntax: [-]wole devnum
devnum : Device number. It can be one or more devices in the list. Use ‘all’
for all devices.
The syntax for devnum is as followed:

Where d is the device number 0 to number of devices – 1. For example, if you have three
devices in the system, the valid device number is 0, 1, or 2.
Example:
From DOS prompt:
C:\>b57util wole 0

; Enable WOL for device 0

C:\>b57util –wole all

; Enable WOL for all devices found in the system

From CLI prompt:
; Enable WOL for device 0 and device 2

b57util>wole 0,2

Please note there is no spaces allowed in the device list. Furthermore, the ‘all’ parameter
must be in lower case.
The ‘-‘ before command is optional to support compatibility with b57man.

4.2 wold
cmd: wold
Description:Disable WOL.
Syntax: [-]wold devnum
devnum : Device number. It can be one or more devices in the list. Use ‘all’
for all devices.
The devnum parameter is same as wole command. Please see wole command for the
examples.

4.3 pxee
cmd: pxee
Description:Enable PXE.
Syntax: [-]pxee devnum
devnum : Device number. It can be one or more devices in the list. Use ‘all’
for all devices.
The devnum parameter is same as wole command. Please see wole command for the
examples. This command is deprecated and will eventually be removed; please use mbae
command instead.

4.4 pxed
cmd: pxed
Description:Disable PXE.
Syntax: [-]pxed devnum
devnum : Device number. It can be one or more devices in the list. Use ‘all’
for all devices.
The devnum parameter is same as wole command. Please see wole command for the
examples. This command is deprecated and will eventually be removed; please use mbad
command instead.

4.5 pxes
cmd: pxes
Description: Change PXE speed
Syntax: [-]pxes devnum 
devnum : Device number. It can be one or more devices in the list. Use ‘all’
for all devices.
The devnum parameter is same as wole command. The speed choices are auto, 10 half
duplex, 10 full duplex, 100 half duplex, and 100 full duplex. The speed must be entered in
lower case and exact spelling as stated in the Syntax. This command is deprecated and
will eventually be removed; please use mbas command instead.
Example:

BCM570x • B57UTIL User’s Guide

Changes all device to speed auto for PXE.
C:\>b57util pxes all auto

4.6 mbae
cmd: mbae
Description:Enable.
Syntax: [-]mbae devnum [pxe | rpl | bootp]
devnum : Device number. It can be one or more devices in the list. Use ‘all’
for all devices.
The devnum parameter is similar to wole command except for the optional argument.
Please see wole command for the examples. The optional argument allows the selection
of boot agent. The argument must be entered in lower case and exact spelling as stated in
the Syntax. Without this argument, the current boot protocol selection stored in the
configuration will be selected. Some boot images do not support multiple boot agents; as a
result, the selection will be ignored.
Example:
Changes all device to boot using RPL.
C:\>b57util mbae all rpl

4.7 mbad
cmd: mbad
Description:Disable boot agent.
Syntax: [-]mbad devnum
devnum : Device number. It can be one or more devices in the list. Use ‘all’
for all devices.
The devnum parameter is same as wole command. Please see wole command for the
examples. This command is essentially identical to pxed command.

4.8 mbas
cmd: mbas

page 6
Broadcom Confidential and Proprietary

BCM570x • B57UTIL User’s Guide

Description: Change boot agent speed
Syntax: [-]mbas devnum 
devnum : Device number. It can be one or more devices in the list. Use ‘all’
for all devices.
The devnum parameter is same as wole command. The speed choices are auto, 10 half
duplex, 10 full duplex, 100 half duplex, and 100 full duplex. The speed must be entered in
lower case and exact spelling as stated in the Syntax. This command is essentially
identical to pxes command.
Example:
Changes all device to speed auto for the boot agent.
C:\>b57util mbas all auto

4.9 upgf
cmd: upgf
Description: Upgrade the EEPROM content
Syntax: [-]upgf devnum  [path]
devnum : Device number. It can be one or more devices in the list. Use ‘all’
for all devices.
The devnum parameter is same as wole command. Please see wole command for the
examples.
There are five kinds of images can be programmed in to EEPROM: eeprom.bin,
b57base.bin, b57pxe.bin, b57undi.bin, and b57mba.nic.
When ‘boot’ option is entered, the firmware boot code “eeprom.bin” is programmed into
eeprom. When one of ‘base’, ‘pxe’, and ‘undi’ parameter is entered, the b57xxx.bin
image is programmed into PXE area.
The optional [path] parameter is used to specify where the file is if it is not in the same
directory as b57util.exe.
