I have a supermicro Motherboard that i attempted to BIOS flash. Previously the machine booted fine, but since attempting to flash to 1.4b it hasn't booted. The golden image in v1.1. How do I revert it back to the golden image?
That's mine.I did find this handy site for finding older versions of supermicro's BIOS. Supermicro old files
you see it after successfull POST.In the IPMI page it will never reflect the new BIOS version
have you checked immediate update or on next boot ?How do I revert it back to the golden image?
why ? anyway. you have to AC power cycle after update,I’ve tried both.
I'm confused: you mean the system is running DURING the bios update?you have to AC power cycle after update,
the new BIOS version is updated on successfull POST.ES CPU. The IMPI isn't reporting that the flash was successful. No matter what version i try, it won't go beyond 1.0
I scraped everything available on Supermicro's site, so, doesn't look like it's something they ever posted. You might be out of luck unless you can get Supermicro to provide it to you via a support ticket or the likes.Humm no 1.0 version on @BlueFox webpage. Any tricks on how to find it? I'm guessing the date is 01/12/2021 Ver 1.0 from my board. I tried some google hack searching with no luck.
note the EFI tool can just upload the BIOS image to the BMC and restart the system to let the BMC do the BIOS flash job (UID blue led flashing)Then i updated an X12SPL-F yesterday with the EFI flash-tool to a new 1.5 revision
Yeah, i saw that i had to type in the BMC username and password before bios filename... was quite different on older systems. I had still in mind that one requires a license to update BIOS via BMC GUI, but this is no more. But having to short the cmos reset pad (stopped boot process after a long time on "DXE - ready to boot", entering BIOS was not possible)? Whatever, thankfully it works again.note the EFI tool can just upload the BIOS image to the BMC and restart the system to let the BMC do the BIOS flash job (UID blue led flashing)
i recommend update BIOS in the BMC-WebGUI.
