Hello,
following the installation of my SATA card (88SE9230 Rev 1.0) having as information 1b4b: 9215.
Under Windows 10, the card works abnormally and intermittently.

I would like help to flash this one.

Link firmware: https://www.station-drivers.com/index.ph...id=3146&lang=en

Some people have reported issues with firmware 2.3.0.1070, I would avoid it.

Read this for example.

I have uploaded a newer version (2.3.0.1078) for Marvell 92xx controllers (except the 9235) at Station Drivers for the A1 chipset revision.

Do you know which revision you have? A0 or A1?

You can get the revision from the Marvell Storage Utility (i.e. Chip Revision ID).

Hello,
I inserted the card under an architecture using an Intel chipset to be able to retrieve the information, I joined you a screenshoot.

1) Could you explain to me which flash tool he uses in the links you give me because I have not really entered ?

2) I noticed a shell script in the folder:

1
 
Marvell_fw_2.3.0.1070\firmware\92xx\UEFI_MODE\UEFI\20151222_shell2.10_uefi64

3) Can I flash from linux because the utility under Windows is incompatible since Windows

Hello,

Thanks for the screenshot, I can see your Chip Revision Id = 11, so you'll need to use the A1 image.

1) Could you explain to me which flash tool he uses in the links you give me because I have not really entered ?

There are two tools that can update the firmware.

The first flash tool is called mvf_mag.exe and is executed from MSDOS only (I use a DOS bootable USB stick created by Windows 7 IIRC). Note that FREEDOS will not work.

You will need to run the script 'go.bat' to flash the newer firmware.

It would be a really good idea to make a backup of your card's EEPROM before you attempt to flash anything! (You can do this with the 'go -ra' command)

You will also need the file 'spilist.bin' so the EEPROM will be recognised.

All 3 files are hosted at Supermicro's ftp site.

Note that go.bat has been written for the 9230 (set hba_id=9230) so you will likely need to modify it for the 9215.

You should also keep the folder structure the same as ftp site, put go.bat on your USB stick's root directory and put mvf_mag.exe, spilist.bin, and ImageA1.bin into a folder called 'bin' otherwise the batch script won't work.

2) I noticed a shell script in the folder:
1
Marvell_fw_2.3.0.1070\firmware\92xx\UEFI_MODE\UEFI\20151222_shell2.10_uefi64
 
3) Can I flash from linux because the utility under Windows is incompatible since Windows

The second flash tool is called mvf.efi and should be run from a UEFI shell - I am unaware of any firmware tool for Linux for the Marvell Magni, Magni-Lite, Magni HyperDuo or MagniPlus chipsets.

I used this UEFI shell which is for a 64-bit UEFI.

You will need to rename Shell_Full.efi to BOOTX64.efi

You will also need to create 2 folders on a USB stick;

efi --> boot --> BOOTX64.efi

And then boot in UEFI mode from your USB stick

The shell script 'go.nsh' is supposed to call on mvf.efi to read/write data from the EEPROM but I could never get it to work.

For some reason mvf.efi fails to see any SPI flash devices. I have tried several versions of 'spilist.bin' but it never worked for me, even calling mvf directly from the command line (the script looks ok).

Maybe you will have more luck.

You should probably also use the image creator (in this folder) to build a firmware image for the 9215 as it differs from the 9230 (i.e. No RAID, No Hyper Duo, No AES encryption support and PCIe x1 interface instead of x2) as I am unsure if you will have problems with the wrong flags enabled.

Maybe @lordkag could be of help? He knows a lot more about this stuff than I do.

Hello,
I will start by installing Windows 7 on my bike, then recover the necessary files.

Step 0: Install Windows 7.

Step 1:

1. mvf_mag.exe (Utilities for flashing the map)
2. go.bat (CMD script)
3. spilist.bin (Detecting my card)
4. ImageA1.bin (Firmware)
 

STEP 2:
Change the 9230 by 9215 value on my go.bat file

Step 3: Drive Z:

1
2
3
4
 
Z:\go.bat
Z:\bin\mvf_mag.exe
Z:\bin\spilist.bin
Z:\bin\ImageA1.bin
 

Step 4: DOS command prompt

1

Z:
cd Z:\
go.bat -ra (Backup My firmware)
go.bat (Flash Firmware ?)
 

It's good ?

go -v gives you verbose output and asks for confirmation to update so I'd recommend to use it so you can check each step.

Hello,
Following the installation of Windows 7 x64, the software makes me the same error code.

Could you tell me how to flash it? (Under which operating system)

Create an MS-DOS bootable USB flash drive with the HP USB Disk Storage Format Tool.

Tun the tool as Administrator (leave it on FAT32) and tick 'Create a DOS startup disk..' and browse to the MS-DOS folder that contains the 3 required MS-DOS files.

Hello,

The flash succeeded but when I restart the PC, it refuses to start.

How can I reflash the map?

The package I uploaded had firmware 2.3.0.1070 - which I said in my first post can cause issues.

That is why I suggested 2.3.0.1078.

You will need to copy the 2.3.0.1078 firmware to your USB stick and flash it instead.

Please disable secure boot and fast boot in the BIOS.

Ok, so the 2.3.0.1078 firmware was flashed to the PCIe card ok

If you remove the 9215 PCIe card can you boot the PC normally into Windows 7?
