Past Echos the Future (Part II) - O350 / Chimera Stuff...
Notes on vintage SGI computers specific to Chimera Architecture machines including: Origin / Onyx 350 (O350), Onyx4, Tezro & Fuel
Status: 29 July 2021 - Split Chimera material from "Past Echos the Future (Part I).
In "playing" about with vintage SGI computers, I used my blog "Past Echos the Future (Part I) - Notes on SGI / IRIX Stuff" to record various software setup and hardware modifications and fixes.
This blog entry has become long and sprawling .... so I am splitting into two or more parts so it is easier to find my own notes.
As per title, this part if focused on Origin / Onyx 350 (O350), Tezro, Fuel Chimera architecture based machines. I will continue to update the original blog for more general and IRIX related material.
L3 Controller & L2 Emulator Linux Setup
The SGI Origin and Onyx 3000 / 300 series machines have L1 (level 1) controllers on each compute node. These can be connected (via USB) to single L2 (level 2) controller and L3 (Level 3) controllers can access L2 via network.
There is a hardware L3 controller (SGI console) or a linux L3 controller or you can telnet to the L2 controller for remote booting and configuration of a set of nodes.
The linux L3 software is available at a number of places on the web including including here.
The Linux controller require a very early Linux version (I used Fedora 1, Yarrow) with kernel version 2.4 for USB to work.
I had no success getting the USB to work with VMWare and you need the USB to run the L2 simulator as this expects to connect to machines via USB. As I could not get this running on VMWare I have installed it on old PC (must have USB port).
One day I will try with KVM / QEMU ... (see here for progress on this)
NOTE: All of L2 & host L1 RS-232 serial ports are set to: 38,400 - 8 bits, No Parity, 1 stop bits (38,400 8-N-1)
Recovering a bricked L2 Controller following IRIX 6.5.30 Update
As described earlier the SGI "big iron" machines have L1 & L2 controllers. There is a bug in IRIX 6.5.30 (L2 firmware version 1.44) which means if you do IRIX update and include L2 update then it will brick the L2 controller. Connecting to this you will see that it is failing due to not finding a file.
This set of information has been updated based on checking against working L2 Controller. I have also recently re-verified this via a "bricked" L2 from another SGI enthausiant. If you have problems with the instructions then please let me know.
Here is the way to recover the bricked L2:
- You need to connect to L2 via serial (console) port
2. Then get into L2 OS (which is a PowerPC BusyBox implementation), this is by using "shell" command or just "!"
3. Change directories into /tmp (which is writable) and create new mount point: "cd /tmp" & "mkdir TMPLIB"
4. Create a new in memory (temporary) file system and mount it on your new directory: "mount -t tmpfs -o size=800k tmpfs /tmp/TMPLIB"
5. Copy the required sub directory contents onto the temporary mounted file system: "cp /stand/sysco/lib/* /tmp/TMPLIB"
5. Assign (ifconfig) your L2 an IP address and optionally the default route if required (depending on whether your http server is on local subnet or not): "ifconfig eth0 XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast XXX.XXX.XXX.255" (assuming /24) & "route add default gw XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX eth0"
6. Get the missing file via a web server via http (or tftp server) (the missing file is: libscan.ppclinux.so which is here) and save it into your new temporary lib directory: "wget http://XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX/<LOC>/libscan.ppclinux.so" (note I am using IP addresses as I have not configured DNS in this case).
7. Create another in memory (temporary) files systems and mount it on top of existing "/stand/sysco/lib" directory: "mount -t tmpfs -o size 800k tmpfs /stand/sysco/lib" and copy all the TMPLIB files over to this version "cp /tmp/TMPLIB/* /stand/sysco/lib"
8. Remove the "TMPLIB" to free memory: "umount /tmp/TMPLIB" and exit shell
9. You should now be able proceed with fixing your L2 by doing an flashsc reflash from USB connected IRIX host using patch PATCH SG0007149 which has L2 firmware 1.48
NOTE 1: See man flashsc for flashing instructions
NOTE 2: My other posting on this, which outlines the basic steps
NOTE 3: There might be other more efficient ways to getting updated mount on "/stand/sysco/lib" using mount / remount options, if you know these then please provide feedback for updating.
NOTE 4: This "hack" was originally documented on nekochan by Pymble Software.
NOTE 5: L2 Console port is: 38400,8,N,1
Recovering an L2 Controller with an L3 Controller
Another potential failure with L2 is that the image gets corrupted. This happened to me when the L2 power supply failed part way through doing a recovery from 6.5.30 bricked L2 (as per above procedure).
In this case when you connect to the L2 console port it will boot and indicate that it is in recovery mode and that you need to connect it to an L3 controller via the Console port to and run the l2recovery program:
Validating L2 Controller Flash image....FAILED!
INVALID IMAGE HEADER CHECKSUM (C55DDEBE)
FATAL ERROR!!! Your L2 controller binary image is corrupted!!
You must perform the L2 Controller flash recovery sequence, which
allows you to download a new L2 controller image via the Console
serial connection on the L2 controller
The typical recovery sequence is:
1) Attach a serial (null modem) cable from the L2 Controller serial port
marked "Console", to the serial port on the L3 Controller.
2) Disconnect any terminal program that may be connected to the
serial port.
3) Execute the l2recover command on the L3 controller:
/usr/cpu/firmware/sysco/l2recover /usr/cpu/firmware/sysco/l2.bin
4) When the command completes, the L2 should reboot. If it does not
then power cycle the L2 to reboot it.
So what is an L3 controller ??
It can just be your Tezro, Fuel or O350 IRIX machine, a null modem cable and the flashsc program.
I did this via Fuel using Serial Port #2 (/dev/ttyd2) plugged into the L2 serial port: "cd /usr/cpu/firmware/sysco" & "flashsc -l2recover --dev /dev/ttyd2 l2.bin"

Causes of "TBL Refill Exception" Error
The "TBL Refill Exception" error results in system crash and leave machine in POD/CAC mode on console. The error looks like this:
A 000 001c01: *** TLB Refill Exception on node 0
A 000 001c01: *** EPC: 0xa80000000129c874 (0xa80000000129c874)
A 000 001c01: *** Press ENTER to continue.The appear to be three causes for this alarming failure:
- Booting with old IRIX Release - some of SGI machines where introduced after initial and earlier IRIX 6.5 releases. You need to make sure you are using an IRIX release that includes support for your machine type. If you use IRIX 6.5.22 or higher then you should get all machine types
- Using newer O350 IP59_4CPU system board with older L1 version - to address this you will need to put in older system board (IP53_4CPU for example) and then once booted update the L1 SW version and then put in new system board (see below for more information)
- Trying to SW install on Fuel via systems console port - in this case you can get to PROM and then attempt to begin install but on running "inst" command the machine crashes. Remedy is to first go into PROM command prompt and set the console port environment variable to "d" (instead of "g" for "graphics"). You can then do install via console. Also be sure to not have keyboard/mouse plugged in, as PROM appear to take this as indication of "server" rather then "workstation". Once you have working graphics installed you will likely need to do fuller installation to get graphics systems running and remember to reset the NVRAM variable back to "console=g".
NOTE #1: See this thread on Irix Network for discussion on the Fuel console "TBL Refill Exception" case
NOTE #2: Here is nekochan thread on Fuel and 1.44.0 (6.5.30) L1 issue with Fuel
L1 & L2 Chimera & Dallas Chip Tips
All of SGI Origin 350, Onyx 350, Onyx 4, (Fuel ?) & Tezro use a variation of the "Chimera" systems board. The non graphics servers were code named as "Chimera Server" and the Onyx and Tezro graphics machines as "Chimera Blade"
This means that they all have L1 Controllers and can be managed via an L2 controller.
In fact you can flip the machines identity by changing its Serial Number and turn rackmount Tezro's into Origin's and Origins into rackmount Tezros.
You can also swap "Dallas" chips across from Origins / Tezro's into Numalink Routers to get around the security of Numalink Router Serials. This allows you to create new and consistent Serial No's across a set of "Chimera" hosts to build up a Origin/Onyx 350 multi-chassis Numalink'ed machine.
To do this you will need to be willing to test various L1 / L2 controller serial and configuration options, some of which might cause a problem with your machine. Most of these are recoverable, but the majority of information covering the various failure and fix scenarios were documented on "Nekochan".
Here are some clues to potential problems and fixes:
- "TLB Refill Exception" - I got this when I was running an older version of L1 software with a newer (IP59_4CPU - 4 x 1 GHZ) Chimera board. The resolution was to put in an older (IP53_4CPU - 4 x 700/800 MHZ) version of Chimera board and then update the L1 version, before putting back the newer board.
- Disabled CPU - another problem is machine boots but has disabled CPUs possibly due to the above problem which results in board being disabled and you cannot re-enable it via regular PROM moniter boot command "enableall". So in this case you need to boot the machine into POD/DEX/CAC (Power-On Diagnostic / Dirty EXclusive / CAChed) Mode by setting the Debug flags via L1. This allows you to by pass PROM boot and hence the disabled CPUs. Debug flag is: "debug 0x10d" . This opens up a whole new arcane world of tweeking. The required sequence to revive machine is to:
- Make sure you are directly connected to the required machines console serial port (38,400-8-N-1) (as it is not possible to do this via L2)
- Set the Debug Flag: "debug 0x10d" (see "More on L1 Debug Flags" below)
- Power Up: "power up"
- Enter Dex mode: "go dex"
- Enter CaC mode : "go cac"
- Clear the logs: "clearalllogs"
- Reinitalise logs: "initalllogs"
- flush the buffers - "flush"
- Now escape back to L1 (Ctl-T) and
- Reset debug to 0: "debug 0"
- Returning to console, do a reset: "reset".
Essentially what this is doing is clearing the fault log which resulted in the CPU being disabled.
See example POD/ DEX/ CAC L1 session further below.
I think the only reference to this is in this "Nekonomicon" trace ... but some of this is in the following SGI document "Hardware Quick-reference Booklet (Origin and Onyx2 Series) - HMQ-380-C" see page 174 for "POD Mode Commands".
For tips on flipping Numalink Router serials see pymblesoft.com blog. I used the chip swapping method outlined there by swapping out Numalink Dallas chip and replacing it with one from a Tezro...
See here for pictures of Dallas DS1742W-120 orientation in O350 (IP53) and Numalink Router, which should came in handy for those having to do this.
More on L1 Debug Flags ..
The L1 "debug" flags provide a way to control the machine boot process. The original flag values come from a combination of physical and virtual "Dip Switch" settings.
For Chimera machines these are all virtual and can be controlled via the L1 "debug" command. To help with getting valid debug flags (and avoid need to always go to doco and then convert values to hex) I created a little "Dip Switch Calculator" with MS Excel:
The values are documented via "man prom" and more completely in the internal Origin 2000 hardware quick reference guide (see below).
See below for an example of the difference in boot behaviour based on the "debug" settings.
Testing Numalink Serial Number Changing
As described above, it is possible to change a numalink router by putting in a alternate Dallas chip (from Tezro for instance) and through some tricky tweeking with L2 getting it to take on a new serial number.
It has also been observed that if you have a Dallas chip with a flat battery in your Numalink router then it will simply take on the serial number from the connected L2 on startup.
I have also done testing with Numalink Router, with various Dallas chips. The resulting behaviour of Numalink is differnt dependent on whether you put in a Dallas chip from: Fuel , Tezro, other Numalink or cleared / unitialised chips.
Behaviour variants include: whether the Numalink Router comes up with existing Rack / Slot configuration, serial secuity being enabled or it a takes on serial number from L2 controller.
Here is an example from using a chip from another machine (this could be from either Onyx4 or the original Numalink). The log shows that is auto-initalised and took on serial from L2:

LSI SAS3442X-R in O350 & Fuel
Adding an LSI SAS3442X-R board in combination with SATA SSD into your O350 or Fuel is by far and away the cheapest way to get signficant disk performance boost. Fuel installation is a snap, if you buy a "new old stock" retail box which comes with board + cabling with Molex power. Here is a area where the Fuel's "cheap" PC architecture wins hards down.
Within O350 rack mount server things are a little more complicated as it does not have Molex power connectors dangling all around the place or slots for for disks inside, so you need to be a little more creative to get the power and SAS/SATA cabling sorted.
Here is the low down on these board. Firstly they come in various configurations and the naming reflects this:
- SAS3442X == Serial Attached SCSI, 3 Gbit/sec, 4 Internal , 4 External, 2 Connectors, PCI-X (vs PCE-e)
- SAS3080X == SAS, 3 Gbit/sec, 8 internal, PCI-X
- SAS3800X == SAS, 3 Gbit/sec, 8 external (via 2 x SFF-8470 connectors), PCI-X
- X == PCI-X and there is also a corresponding PCI-express variants
- -R == RAID, but cards can be flashed to HBA (Initator Target) mode.
The board come in a number of versions (ReportsAs | -PartNo | FWVer):
- 1068(A0) | -01A | A0 - avoid these as they do not have updated software available and they cannot be flashed for RAID or IT mode of operation
- 1068(B0) | -01B | B0 - these can be cross flashed (RAID/IT) and should work in SGI's (I have not tested or confirmed this version)
- 1068(B1) | -02C | B1 - these can be cross flashed (RAID/IT) and work well in SGIs
Once you get your board you should flash it to latest firmware / BIOS, using the HBA (IT) firmware rather than RAID firmware as SGI cannot be configured to use RAID.
To flash the board requires an MS-DOS machine with PCI-X slot. Neither the Linux or Windows version of the flashing tool allow you to erase the flash which is required to flip some of the cards from RAID to HBA (IT) mode.
The last firmware / BIOS version is:
- 01.33.00.00 - Firmware
- 06.36.00.00 - BIOS
This is avaiable via the BroadCom support site and is in the "P21 Package for Window & Dos". The package includes:
- 3442XRB0.fw - RAID (-R) for 1068(B0) series adaptors
- 3442XRB1.fw - RAID (-R) for 1068(B1) series adaptors
- 3442XTB0.fw - HBA (-IT) for 1068(B0) series adaptors
- 3442XTB1.fw - HBA (-IT) for 1068(B1) series adaptors
- mptsas.rom - BIOS (same for all versions)
NOTE: The only 1068(A0) series Firmare I was able to find is in HP Service Pack (SP45154) and after applying this the adaptor will report as SAS3080 (ie 8 Internal Ports).
To flash an "-R" board to lastest "-IT" firmware the steps are:
- Find the card - "sasflash -listall", you only need this if there are multiple boards in the same machine, in my example I do not use controller number option as I only had one board in the flashing machine
- Erase Flash - "sasflash -o -e 7" , note that this also erase the SAS device Address and so be sure to record this so you can reapply it later
- Flash the new Firmware & BIOS - "sasflash -o -f FMVERt.bX -b mptsas.rom"
- Put the SAS Address back = "sasflash -o -sasadd XXXXXXXXXX"
Card should now report new FW/BIOS version:
If you have flashed it to IT (HBA) mode then you should see that it reports as XX.XX.XX.XX-IT in the FW Revision, by going into bios configuration at boot:
Now take board out of MS-DOS flashing machine and put it in your Fuel/O350 and you will see it reports the LSI 1068 at boot:

So spinning disk Fuel report results are generally poorer than Octane2 with SSD even though Fuel has much faster disk sub-system (160 MB/sec for Fuel vs. 40 MB/sec of Octane). In fact Dual 600 Octane2 is pretty much saturating its 40 MB/sec SCSI bus with SSD.
But the Fuel with SAS3442X had the best single disk performance I have ever seen on MIPS SGI machine and this is very cheap to setup compared to ACARD SCSI to SATA Adaptors which are now selling for prices that are more than an entire Fuel ! Get to ebay now to improve your Fuel performance ;-) .
UPDATE: I have since done test of Fuel internal UW160 with ACARD ARS-2160 with Samsung EVO SSD and this provide even better results than the SAS3442X. As final point of comparison I need to see how IRIX SW RAID'ed (stripped) XVM volume performs with stripped drives acoss SAS drives.
NOTE #1: If you find that your sasflash version does not allow you to erase the ROM, then you should go back to an older version.
NOTE #2: Updated Fuel hinv
NOTE #3: LSI internal SAS connector is: SFF-8484 & external connector is: SFF-8470 (both SAS industry standard interfaces)
Some Testing with XVM and LSI SAS344X SAS
Given good performance results achieved with LSI SAS344X, I was curious to see what sort of performance could be achieved if you use IRIX's XVM (XFS Volume Manager) which allows you to setup Stripped volumes (RAID 0) for performance and Mirrored volumes (RAID 1) for data security.
My initial test where to set up mirror drives across 2 x SSD:

Putting SATA SSD into O350 with LSI SAS3442X
As shown above the LSI SAS3442X provides a way to put much faster modern SATA SSD into Fuel. For O350 Servers you need do a bit of cabling playing and you can get SATA SSD installed and accessbile via same front facing disk bay used for 3.5 inch disks.
While the disk are not hot swappable, this option does allow you to easily add 1 to 4 disk depending on whether you want to still include one of the hardrives in the bay. This option also allow you to keep your DVD-ROM attached.
So if you have only a single compute module you can have boot disk, 1 or 2 SATA SSDs and DVD-ROM.
To provide this I used:
- LSI SAS3442X-R SAS/SATA cable that come with card
- A single Molex -> 2 x power out extension cable
- A single Molex -> 2 x SATA power cable
Using the Molex extension cable was able to get power to SCSI backplane / DVD-ROM drive and have extension feed into the drive bay and the SATA power cables. The SATA lines are then just feed through the same way.
While 2 SATA lines is easy, for 4 lines you will have to sacrifice the SCSI disk, as there is not sufficient room for drives or cables.
Here are pictures of the way to do this:
Once you have extensions plugged together:
- run SAS lines (flat blue cabling in picture) and SAS power cables from one part of extension between fan gap and into drive bay
- then push Molex plug into same fan gap and bring out other Molex extension to plug into the existing SCSI backplane power and
- being careful to keep the existing DVD-ROM mini power cable out from the fan gap, so you can plug it back ino DVD-ROM:
The result is two SAS/SATA lanes being available in the existing drive bay:
O350 (Onyx 350 / Origin 350) Fans
The O350 machines have a number of fans which are reported on as part of the environmental monitoring. What fans are installed can different based on the chassis configuration.
The the main fan group are powered from the IP53 Interface board, which has 4 fan pinouts (on this port H2J5 has broken retention clip):
The fan plugin points and what they report as via L1 env are:
H2H6 (EXHST 1) - Four pin for back facing right hand (looking from back) exhaust fan (always present)
H2J5 (EXHST 2) - Four pin for back facing left hand (looking from back) exhaust fan (optional , not present if there is V12 or DM3 installed)
H9J4 (PS) - Three pin for front facing power module fan, power and monitoring cable runs along inner side of chassis between narrow gap between edge and power modules enclousure (always present)
H9H6 (ODY) - Three pin for optional V12 / DM3 carrier fan (see picture below), This fan is used instead H2J2 exhaust fan when V12 / DM3 is installed.
In addition to the main chassis fans the O350 also has a fan within the PCI / Disk chassis section, This is reported as "PCI 1" & "PCI 2", as while it is a single unit it contains two seperate fans, each with its own cable, which are connected to riser board:
And finally the IP59_4CPU 4 x 1GHz Processor Module includes an additional three fans (NODE ZERO - N0 LEFT / N0 CNTR / N0 RIGHT) that are part of the board and need to be removed to get access to installation screws:
Here are the different L1 "env" reports based on alternate chassis configurations:

Upgrading Fuel CPU PIMM requires IRIX PROM flash
To my knowledge all SGI machines support some level of CPU upgrade/swap. This is typically just an exercise in doing a physical swap of the CPU module and then reboot. The system will then do hardware based detection a pickup the new CPU speed.
The Fuel is an exception to this, as if you put in a new physical CPU then it will not automatically boot up at faster speed. Rather it relies on SW based setting that are managed via PROM "flash" program to set the revised CPU parameters.
The revised parameter are set using "flash -f" option:

DESCRIPTION
flash allows a user to manage the flash PROMs on the IO and CPU boards of
Origin systems, the base system board on OCTANE systems and CPU boards on
the SGI Origin 3000 server series. Without options, the command flashes
all appropriate boards on the machine with the PROM images found in
/usr/cpu/firmware. Normally, flash is executed automatically during the
installation of a new release of IRIX. A customer should rarely need to
use it directly. You must have superuser privilege to use this command.
...
...
...
-f Specify different (than currently in PROM) configurations
values to be used when the new images are flashed. These
values include the speed of the CPU, hub, and size of the
cache. This option should be used with great care as cause
the machine to freeze and be rendered unusable if incorrect
values are given.
-F Similar to -f except more detailed information is required
and no checking is done in the input values. This is more
dangerous the -f option and the same cautions apply.
...
...
...
-o Override the version checking and flash the PROM even if it
is not newer than what is currently on the PROM.
Here is an example session:
---
--- Test 1
---
# flash -f
No proms need flashing
# flash -f -v
setting default path_name to /usr/cpu/firmware
No proms need flashing
# flash -f -V
Prom version 6.211
No proms need flashing
# flash -F -V
Prom version 6.211
No proms need flashing
---
--- As I have not got actual update physical CPU install
--- need to do manual override with -o flag
---
--- Test 2
---
# flash -o -f -V

Here is the log of a real update of my machine. First swap out slower CPU module and put in faster one. Then run flash command. I swapped a 600 MHz PIMM for 800 MHz PIMM, which I am happy to report worked as it should. As pre-caution I first did hinv -mv on machine and checked to PIMM module against the table above to verify that the PIMM was indeed an 800 MHz one:
# flash -o -f -v

# rebootFinally what happens if you need to downgrade CPU speed..
In this case you will need to run "flash -f -o" using the initial (faster) CPU and set PROM parameters to speed for target slower CPU. Once this is done you can shutdown your machine and swap CPU PIMM modules.
If swapping from a faster to slower CPU PIMM without first doing PROM update, then you Fuel will not boot. The only known remedy at this point is to put in right speed (or faster) CPU and do the "flash -f -o" update.
NOTE #1: Fuel CPU replacement discussion thread on "Irix Network". This includes discussion of possible way to change CPU speed parameters via POD/CAC mode, though no one appears to know the exact set of commands. What we do know is that the PROM is held in a flash chip on the Fuel & O350 board and this is not the same as the DALLAS NVRAM component. See picture etc below for "search for PROM chip..."
NOTE #2: Fuel SGI Part Numbers taken from "SGI Depot" Fuel Parts Page
Recovering Damaged Fuel PIMM
The above tip show how you flash the Fuel PROM to raise / lower the CPU speed based on the installed CPU. The Fuel is the only Chimera based machine that needs this and it appear to be that for the O350 (Origin, Onyx & Tezro) series machines the "Bedrock" ASIC is on the same board as the CPUs. In the case of the Fuel the "Bedrock" ASIC is on the system board and the CPU board is just that a CPU only module/
In my case the PIMM connector array got damaged in shipping and many of PINs were squashed:
To fix this I used a pair of very fine tweezers to pull out and straighten the pins. In doing this you need lift up the squashed PIN and then make sure it straightened up so it is vertical.
Looking at the pin array line up you make sure that all the pins are nicely aligned and chance of repair is good.
Good luck to others who need to do this repair and please make sure you protect your PIMM with the right packaging before shipping.

Sample Session with Fuel (internal ) Serial Comms Port
The Fuel has multiple ways to support diagnostic communications:
- L1 USB Port - this is the external USB port just below the Ethernet port and can be used to connect Fuel to an L2 controller
- Internal Serial Port - there is an internal serial port which can also be used to communicate with the L1 controller using a NULL modem serial cable (38400,8,N,1)
- External Serial Port #1 which is the lower of the two serials ports above the Ethernet Port.
When I first got my Fuel I could communicate with L1 via USB and L2 but not via either the internal or external serial ports. To resolve this I had to:
- edit /etc/inittab - to ensure that ports where defined and not allocated to other uses
- edit /etc/uucp/Devices - to allow use of Serial Port #2 communications at multiple speeds
- /etc/ioconfig.conf - to reset the tty config back to tty1 & tty2 as it was reporting serial ports on tty2 & tty4
- POD/CAC Reset - go into POD/CAC mode and do a reset of logs to clear errors
Here is exampe session via the internal Serial port:

A 000 001c01: Resetting the system...Search for Fuel / O350 PROM Chip
The Octane, Fuel and O3000, O300 & O350 machines all have a flashable PROM chip that can be flashed and dumped using the irix "flash" command. There has been quite a bit if speculation on where the PROM chips are and what is the type. The reason is that the PROM can get invalidated by flash crash and also if you have Fuel flashed for higher speed, this is recorded in PROM chip and there does not appear to be anyway to reset this to work with lower speed CPU other than by putting in faster CPU and then down-flashing speed and only then replacing the faster CPU with slower model.
So is there a way to program / replace the PROM chip to support recovery of machines ?
Here is picture of Fuel system board, in midde right you can see the DALLAS DS1742W-120 (NVRAM and RTC) and next to it a small ATEM EEPROM chip:
And detail view of DALLAS and ATEM Chips:
The ATEM chip is a: ATEM 116 AT2404C PC27, which is a 4K (512 x 8), 2.7 - 5.5 Volt EEPROM.
According to flash log the PROM is: 1,476,168 bytes of data.
So can you put this into 4K bits ?
The answer is no... as 4k bits is 512 bytes, which is much much small than reported PROM flash data size.
More Fuel POD/CAC to try to understand CPU Speed configuration
In trying to find out how Fuel CPU speed is controlled, have been looking are various POD/CAC command to see what they reveal..

NOTE: That IP35 (Chimera) PROM reads both volume header on "dksc(0,1,8)" , which has "standalone shell" - sash, and the root XFS file-system on "dksc(0,1,0)", which has Unix kernel - unix.
That is that.
That all folks .....
NOTE: An O350 Chimera machine with Graphics reports as a "ChiBlade", hence the swords graphics, which is from: "The Complete History Of The Japanese Samurai Sword".
