1097.0. "Support needed to diag KFTIA module.." by QCAV02::PMK () Fri Feb 07 1997 07:26

    Hello,
    
    During testing of Turbolaser 8400, I have found KFTIA module is showing
    as KFTHA.  The console details
    
      Console Version 3.0-9 Feb 13 1996
    
      The Part no. printed on I/O module is E2054-AA
    
    Is this due to console firmware corruption or some problem with KFTIA
    module.
    
    Can somebody help me to solve this issue
    
    Thanks and regards
    P. Malakondaiah

1097.12000 vs 2020 in SEEPROMAFW3::MAZURFri Feb 07 1997 08:5355
This KFTIA/HFTHA type code identifier is stored in EEPROM on the IO module.
When the EEPROM is corrupt, it defaults to the 2000 (KFTHA).   Or it may
just have not been set at the factory.

On my system, I have both a KFTHA(2000) and a KFTIA(2020).  Look at the module
device type below that comes from the SEEPROM.

                             NOTE: 
         BE SURE TO USE  "SEEPROM" in the command.  If you say EEPROM
	 it will present the CPUs EEPROM regardless of the device
	 specified on the command line.


P06>>>show seeprom manu kftha0

Module Serial Number = 
Module Unified 2-5-2.4 Part Number = 
Module Device Type = 2000
Module HW Rev = 0
P06>>>show seeprom manu kftia0

Module Serial Number = AY44810514
Module Unified 2-5-2.4 Part Number = E2054-AA
Module Device Type = 2020
Module HW Rev = a02



You can set it to the correct device type (remember to do a show
first because you will need to reenter the serial number and unified
part number):

P06>>>set seeprom manu kftha0
Module Serial Number> test
Module Unified 2-5-2.4 Part Number> whatever
Module Device Type> 2020        
Module HW Rev> a02

 
  After the next init, you will see the kftha0 device replace by
  a kftia<n> device.



If the seeprom has been corrupted, you may have to reformat it
with the build command:

P06>>>build -s kftha0
Build Serial EEPROM on kftha0 ? [Y/N]> y
The program will take at most several minutes.

        Serial EEPROM built on kftha0

    Hello,
    
    Followed the steps provided in .1 Still the problem is there.  
    
    P00>>>Show Seeprom manu kftia0 gives the following error message
    
    P00>>>     Invalid command
    P00>>>     File open failed seeprom:0/kftia
    
    P00>>>Show seeprom manu kftha0 gives the following error message
    
    P00>>>     Failed to varify
    
    P00>>>Build -s KFTIA0 is failing with the following error message
    
    P00>>>     File KFTIA0 not found
    
    Can somebody from firmware group help me to solve this problem.
    
    Thanks inadvance and regards

    Is your problem the same as this - 
    
    P04>>>show conf
    
            Name                  Type   Rev  Mnemonic
      TLSB
      2++   KN7CE-AB              8014  0000  kn7ce-ab0
      6+    MS7CC                 5000  0000  ms7cc0
      8-    KFTHA                 2000  0C09  kftha0
    
      C1 XMI connected to kftha0              xmi0
    
    The I/O module is shown as a KFTHA but is in fact a KFTIA.
    
    To get round this problem follow steps 1 or 2
    
1.    P04>>>show seeprom man kftha0 
    
    Module Serial Number = E2054KGM
    Module Unified 2-5-2.4 Part Number =    -E2054-AA
    Module Device Type = 2000
    Module HW Rev = c09
    
    As you can see the device type is 2000.
    
    To change this from 2000 to 2020 -
    
    P04>>>set seeprom man kftha0
    Module Serial Number> e2054kgm
    Module Unified 2-5-2.4 Part Number>   -e2054-aa
    Module Device Type> 2020
    Module HW Rev> c09
    
    and then INIT the system
     
2.    P04>>>build -s kftha0
    
    Module Serial Number> AyXXXX
    Module Unified 2-5-2.4 Part Number>   -e2054-aa
    Module Device Type> 2020
    Module HW Rev>cXX
    
    
    
    If you can't get either of these to work can you provide the TLSB
    configuration showing which module in which slot is bad.
    
    Hope this helps,
