There are no Marvell components in the file W555_A58, the last BIOS from EVGA. The only way you can access them is through Marvell flasher, by saving the content of the chip, check what version you have, update to latest. It might also help to update the JMicron modules, then disable everything you don't use, like PXE Boot, maybe JMicron controller. Also move the Intel RAID controller related items higher in the boot devices list.

Hi,

I've a question, please.

I was looking at the "b) Marvell 91xx (SATA3) AHCI/RAID ROM modules" because i want to upgrade the Magni firmware with MARVELL FLASH TOOL of my Marvell SATA 6G controller, sooner or later (PCI\VEN_1B4B&DEV_9120&REV_12):

to
BIOS Version :1.0.0.1038
Firmware Version: 2.3.0.1007 (hope is the right firmware, i attached it)*

or to
marvell_88se91xx_firmware_2.2.0.1125b (which listed here)

While i was checking what is listed, one thing is that UBU v1.33 tells me that Marvel ORom module 9120 is v10.0.1038 which is OK, but the module for 9172 shows v10.0.0034 and i cannot find here this 9172 module. You're listing only the v10.0.0032 ?

The module AHCI/RAID ROM v10.0.0034 is listed for Marvell 9192 & 91a2 here...Is there a mistake ?



Thanks for your respond.

I'm glad i haven't succeed to upgrade my Marvel sata controller lately....

Seems v1.0.0.1038 is for 9128 only, and v2.2.0.1125b (9123B.bin) just brick the 9120 controller!

Version 1.0.0.1033 Supported VENDOR_ID = 1B4B DEVICE_ID_LIST = 9023,90A3,9110,9190,9111,9191,9120,91A0,9122,91A2,9123,91A3,9125,91A5,9128,91A8,9130,91B0, but i cannot this firmware anywhere.

While i was trying the v2.2.0.1125b, the DoS command gave me strange result. Either disabling in Bios the Marvel Controller or Let it enable wouldn't launch the command 'go'.

[quote]Marvell 91xx AHCI/RAID Option ROM modules and Marvell 91xx AHCI/RAID Firmware are different things!

@Fernando,

I have a Marvell 91xx SATA 6G Controller : PCI\VEN_1B4B&DEV_9120&SUBSYS_83BA1043&REV_12 (PCI\VEN_1B4B&DEV_9120&REV_12)

I have updated with UBU to:
OROM MARVELL 88SE9120: v1.0.0.1038
OROM MARVELL 88SE9172: v1.0.0.0034
EFI Marvell SATA AHCI: v1.1.0.1015.

So this looks OK to me, thought v1.0.0.1033 was a complete package including a firmware somehow inside.

I am still using the Marvell driver Pilot version: 1.2.0.1038 dated from June 21st, 2013.

It is very optional to update for a newer firmware but i would like to. My controller works fine actually.

Edit: I have replaced the E7 module within my Bios with 2.3.0.1007.dump component and it looks good. This time the Marvell RAID-Rom shows up and when enter the config (Ctrl+M) I see the new FW-v2.3.0.1007.
My to HDD's in Raid0 are also there end everything works fine. If I have any problem I will let you know.

thx again lordkag and Fernando

What I'm learned from loardkag
Firmware Module v2.3.0.1007 works together with O-Rom Module v1.0.0.1038 and Bootloader v1010002b_v5 on MV91xx_DEV_9120 / DEV_9123 / DEV_9128 (extract by loardkag from same Marvell upgrade package)
Firmware Module v2.2.0.1125b works together with O-rom Module v1.0.0.1033 and Bootloader v1010002b_v4 on MV91xx_DEV_9120 / DEV_9123 / DEV_9128

O-Rom Module v1.0.0.1034 is only for DEV_9172, DEV_917a, DEV_9182 and DEV_918a

@N6O7

Fernando is right, Firmware has nothing to do with "AHCI & RAID ROM Modules", I hope he will move this discussion elsewhere. There are already two threads on Marvell Firmware. This is the content of those two firmwares you mentioned:



As you can see, neither is good for you, due to different Autoload and BIOS/ROM. Those Firmwares are designed for 9128 controller, but can work for others IDs with the right components. To expand the previous statement, the first firmware works only for onboard 9128 controllers, the second works for both onboard and external 9128 controllers - the Autoload is the component that makes the difference. For supporting other IDs, you have to have a matching Autoload and a matching BIOS/ROM. There is even one more thing that adds confusion, RAID controllers like 9128 default to using 9123 ID, because they will be booted in AHCI mode at some point, thus it needs to support it. They will switch to 9128 ID only when changed to RAID mode, they will also switch to 91A3 when changed to IDE mode. For your issue, I will suggest to backup current firmware and post the dump on one of those Marvell Firmware threads. I will then see what Autoload and ROM you need.

@lordkag,

Thank you for your input and clear respond. That's what i thought both are not compatible as i suspected in my post 800.

I will stop asking in this AHCI & RAID Rom Modules thread and move it to Marvell thread and re-ask when having the dump. Thanks again.

Thank you for having moving this thread out as "discussion".

While i was digging i found the tools left by hanson (Marvel Flash.zip) on post 113: Problems Updating firmware of Marvell 9120 Sata controller (8)

And the one (U3S6R1_Marvell-9120_2.3.0.1007.rar) posted from lordkag on post 203: Problems Updating firmware of Marvell 9120 Sata controller (14)

The go -r command returned "Adapter not found!" or "No supported flash found!" and enabling adapter or disabling adapter...has no effect.

I have also tried to swap the mvf_mag.exe (modded for cFeon EN25F40 chip) by hanson one in bin folder:

lordkag package:
Image = 1.0.0.1813
BIOS = 1.0.0.1038 (ID 9120)
Autoload = 3.0.1.0106 (ID 9120)
Firmware = 2.3.0.1007 (20-09-2012 11:02:34)
mvf_mag = 1.0.0.2461

tried both, hanson and lordkag + swapped "mvf_mag.exe" one.

I can't create the dump file IMAG_RB.BIN. for Marvell 91xx SATA 6G Controller : PCI\VEN_1B4B&DEV_9120&SUBSYS_83BA1043&REV_12 (PCI\VEN_1B4B&DEV_9120&REV_12).
