/INVMUPDATE /FILE=[filename.bin] : Updates the internal non-volatile memory using a designated binary image file.
For most routine updates, use the vendor-recommended OS tool. Reserve eeupdate64e.efi for recovery or advanced configuration.
Automatically updating checksums and CRCs after modifications to ensure the hardware remains bootable.
If you manage a fleet of servers, consider these guidelines:
This public link is valid for 7 days and shares a thread, including any personal information you added. This link or copies made by others cannot be deleted. If you share with third parties, their policies apply. Can’t copy the link right now. Try again later.
If you work in IT infrastructure, deployment engineering, or system administration, you know that managing hardware drivers and firmware is a never-ending battle. Sometimes, the standard Windows Device Manager or Linux ethtool just isn't enough to fix a stubborn network adapter issue.
Copy the eeupdate64e.efi binary onto the root or a dedicated folder on the drive.
| Switch | Function | |--------|----------| | /NIC=X | Select adapter number (1-based index) | | /DEVICE=Bus:Dev:Fnc | Select by PCI address | | /ALL | Apply command to all detected Intel NICs | | /DUMP | Backup current firmware to a file | | /UPDATE | Flash from a binary firmware file | | /VERIFY | Compare current flash with a file | | /MAC=X | Write a new MAC address (hex format, no colons) | | /BOOTROM=EN/DIS | Enable or disable PXE boot ROM | | /INVMVERSION | Show current NVM (Non-Volatile Memory) version | | /RESET | Perform a soft reset of the NIC |
| Risk | Consequence | |------|--------------| | Incorrect MAC address format | NIC uses default factory MAC or zeros | | Writing partial NVM image | Checksum mismatch → NIC unresponsive | | Interruption (power loss) during write | Corrupted NVM → requires external SPI programmer | | Modifying reserved fields | Unpredictable PCIe negotiation / link failures | | Using wrong file for different NIC revision | Incorrect PHY settings → no link |
