FDT001.001 Flash firmware by using Dasharo Tools Suite

Test description

This test aims to verify whether there is the possibility to flash the DUT firmware by using Dasharo Tools Suite (DTS).

Test configuration data

  1. FIRMWARE = coreboot
  2. {PATH} = individual path to a specific binary.

Test setup

  1. Proceed with the Common section.
  2. Disable Secure Boot.

Test steps

  1. Power on the DUT.
  2. Press BOOT_MENU_KEY to enter the boot menu.
  3. In the Boot Menu, select the iPXE Network Boot option.
  4. In the Network Boot menu, select the iPXE Shell option.
  5. Type in dhcp to obtain an IP address.
  6. Type in chain http://boot.3mdeb.com/dts.ipxe to load DTS.
  7. Wait for Enter an option.
  8. Type 9 and click Enter to launch Shell.

  9. Run the following command to obtain coreboot.rom binary:

    wget https://3mdeb.com/open-source-firmware/{PATH} -O /tmp/coreboot.rom

    This is not only way to obtain binary. For example you can use scp.

  10. Run the following command to flash firmware:

    flashrom -p internal -w /tmp/coreboot.rom

  11. Power off the DUT.

  12. Repeat steps 1-8.

  13. Run the following command to check firmware version:

    dmidecode -t 0

  14. Note the results.

Expected result

The output of dmidecode command should contain information about current firmware. The current firmware version should be equal to the binary version, which you were flashing.

Example output:

Version: Dasharo (coreboot+UEFI) v1.1.0
