There are countless guides out there for cross flashing traditional Dell PERC cards to the more vanilla firmwares for many of the older and newer SAS2 and 3 chipsets. However, I'm looking to try and cross flash the firmware of a specialized adapter, specifically the Dell Shared PERC 8-External for VRTX, onto H810 adapters.
As you can see these devices are identical hardware wise:
-first 3 pics, H810, second 3 pics, SPERC8-e
The firmware DUP package from Dell only contains a file in the payload folder named FW_SPERC8_E.rom, however most crossflashing guides reference .bin and .fw files in 2 separate steps.
Can I still use sas2flash and other various utilities to flash a .rom file in place of .bin and .fw?
Would I need to extract firmware from an actual SPERC8-e to use in conjunction with the .rom file?
