Hello,
Are you on an old BMC version or one of the latest?
I would also try flashing from the UEFI prompt with AFU for EFI.
If flashing with AFU you need to remove the last 16 bytes of the file to transform it to a .bin file

Yes it is difficult to edit while connected on the serial terminal due to all messages coming up there!
I actually connected to a SMB share on my network and copied the passwd and shadow files there .
On the files I just copied the sysadmin row and change the user sysadmin to my name.
When I...
You can not preserve the sysadmin ssh login after an update to newer BMC version. At every reboot of the BMC, the ssh server config will be modified to prevent sysadmin access. And the script that modifies it is in read-only flash!
But adding another user works great. I just edited passwd and...
I'm one the newest Version and was able to change it.
You mean this one, right?
Right just that one. But if you try to ssh into it with sysadm you will not get access, unfortunatly.
But the serial console will work with that user and password
Peter
Would this be possible using SSH into the IPMI? Or do you need this special adapter and plug it into the Board?
Only if you have an old version of the BMC firmware . I had that on my first board and could set a password for sysadmin under the maintenance tab in the BMC GUI. When I upgraded...
Have you tried flashing from the UEFI prompt with the flashall option?
This would clear the stored settings
You could also try to set a known password from the host with ipmitool
Peter
Does the machine boot?
If you can get to the EFI command line you could try to flash it from there.
If not, connect a serial cable to the BMC JTAG pins and see if you can get an UBOOT prompt. there are flashing commands in uboot.
I have not used them so can give no further info on that.
The...
Unfortunately there is no way to enable this in BIOS (at least I have not found any).
Did you follow the steps I outlined?
You need also to reboot the IPMI for this to work. You do this simplest by disconnecting the PSU main cable (That to the wall)
Or write reboot on the terminal, but if you...
This is the correct way to do it. You can alternatively put the setup_var.efi on your EFI partition. This is easy in Linux.
Do fdisk -l to list the disks and partitions. Identify the EFI partition and mount it, then copy the efi program to it. Reboot and follow the above procedure (except the...
A dumped BIOS can not be flashed back as it is.It needs to be in .rbu format. That adds 16 bytes with a static text and a 2 byte checksum.
I have in an earlier post posted a link to a flashable F09 Bios that I made flashable. If you search for my name you will find it

There is no need to flash the F02 BIOS to change the sata/pcie selection. of SL_SAS. The menu item is present also in the F09 BIOS but it is hidden. It can be unhidden and a modified BIOS flashed, I have done so. I have not tried out if it really works as I have my sata disk connected to a...
Very good to know that flashrom works. I tried it also but probably not the latest version. It did not detect any flash.
I have not tries to connect anything to the slimsas 8i port. I use a sata breakout cable for the slimsas 4i and that works well.

Hello,
Nice to hear it worked for you also!
Yes flashing the BMC from the EFI shell (or Linux) works and is a good way. If it does not come up correctly you can flash again.
But I do not think that the SKU info is stored in the BMC image. The Gigabyte BMC firmware is the same for all products...
Hello,
Attached is the original F09 Bios that I dumped from my system and made into a flashable .rbu image. It is not possible to flash back the dump as is via the WEBGui or AFUxxx. I compared to the MJ11-EC0 image from Gigabyte site and found the difference. There are a lot of system specific...
Hello,
I have also flashed the F02 on my first board, and after some work also managed to make the F09 dump into a flashable .rbu image that can be flashed back via the BMC.
This evening I can make it available for download

Peter
Nice to see!
I did a lot of trial and errors so might have made something that removed info or updated more that in your case.
I see that you are running 15 degrees higher cpu temp that I have. I put on a 92mm fan, that changed temp and noise!
Peter
Good you are on your way.
First a warning. This can potentially brick your system. I have had one side effect. The product name disappeared from the BIOS and instead there is a text "To be filled in by OEM" It does not seam to have any impact on running the system.
I did all my testing with...
It is possible to activate also the other fans and have full control over them!
But it is not the Bios that needs modifying. You need to change the product name of the bord.
From G431-MM0-OT to MJ11-EC0-00 and MJ11-EC1-OT to MJ11-EC0-00.
After a BMC reboot it will be reconfigured and all fans...
