hi :)
I have 2 TTVVV h710p that I’m keen to flash if you need something tested :)
Thx



Do you also have an H710P? If so, can you grab the dell part number for me? Looks like there's 3 other part numbers that I haven't been able to look at, need to make sure they all have the same SBR size (or document which ones don't)

Looking for these:
0PK2W9
TTVVV
0N3V6G

will make the requisite dedicated threads on the popular internet holes tonight but for now have at it, feedback welcome Introduction - Fohdeesha Docs
I had a go with the D1 guide, and seems to be a problem:

Hmm, the D1 guide is the one that's been tested the most and nobody else has had errors, so you probably forgot a command somewhere. In fact, that output is the exact output we got when we didn't run the cleaning step in FreeDOS first. Did you follow the introduction page instructions and the FreeDOS instructions first: EG booting into the FreeDOS live ISO and running "D1CROSS"

I would follow the guide from the beginning again, being sure to run "D1CROSS" in freedos first. Send me a screenshot of the end of the freedos output after running this

also be absolutely sure there's no other LSI based controllers in the system

Thanks, I did run the freedos commands first. Will try again tomorrow and reply in the new thread.

I have a bunch of Dell servers that I can test. One of them is

Product Name: PERC H710P Adapter
ChipRevision: D1
SAS Address: XXXX

when I run the "info" command. Will the H710p mini firmware works ?

Thank you
