I'm attempting to flash the LSI SAS2308 firmware on my recently purchased SuperMicro X10SL7-F board to IT mode. The process fails after downloading the firmware, when attempting to reset the adapter.
The first attempt was made by running the SMC2308T.NSH script file from the UEFI shell. The next three attempts were made by manually running the commands in the SMC2308T.NSH file from the UEFI shell. Every attempt ends the same way. The last attempt was made using the -debug switch on sas2flash, but it didn't provide any useful additional info.
Looking at the commands in SMC2308T.NSH, I see the first command would have erased the whole flash region. I see that this is followed by three commands to flash firmware and two BIOSs. The command to flash the firwmare is the one that is failing. Should I try to flash those two BIOSs?
I've studied the manual for sas2flash, but I don't see any obvious other steps. Is there anything else I can try before contacting support? Should I contact SuperMicro, or LSI?
A few screen shots follow.
