Configuration Files (.CFG files)

Configuration files are ASCII text files whose lines form commands executed by
the FRUSDR Load Utility. These commands cause the utility to probe the
hardware and to perform various tasks needed to load the proper SDRs into the
non-volatile storage of the BMC and possibly into generic FRU devices.
Commands in the configuration can be interactive, thus requiring you to make
decisions.

The basic configuration file is called the master.cfg. This is a basic configuration
file that loads an SDR file, allows you to set an asset tag, and exits the FRUSDR
Load Utility. If the /Cfg argument is entered without a filename, the default
master.cfg file is used. Commands based on either syntax below start the
FRUSDR Load Utility and supply a configuration file that drives the utility:

frusdr –cfg filename.cfg

frusdr /cfg filename.cfg

Loads Specified FRU File

The normal method of loading one or more FRU files is through the use of a
configuration file. Each FRU file name is specified using the FRUNAME
configuration command. The first time a FRU file is programmed, all areas in the
FRU file need to be written, this initialization should be done in manufacturing.
The FRUSDR utility does not support first time programming of FRU areas.

Once the FRU file has been initially programmed, then you may use the FRUSDR
utility to update specific FRU areas and fields. You may not change the size of
any FRU area from the size defined in the original FRU Header. Through the use
of a configuration file, each area of the FRU may selectively be programmed. The
FRU information written to the non-volatile storage device is verified after
programming and an appropriate message is displayed. For more detailed
information on creating and using a configuration file see Section 4 of this
specification.

In the FRU file header there exists a pad byte that may be any one-byte value
without directly causing an error, this pad byte will be used in calculating the
