Erase NIU2 EIC 1
- Thread starter lpb612
- Start date
As you said, it's been a long time. As I remember you had to upload a modified version of the NIU R6A firmware to trick the board into thinking it was a NIU (SCSI version) and then you used the same commands as in the regular NIU. Then you needed to upgrade NIU2 to its regular firmware.

that trick will not work if the NIU has a recent firmware, downgrading has been made more difficult 
All you need is to login to niux and enter a magic string.
That magix string is is a company secret though...

yes that's part of the "magic procedure".
You need to enter su (password is different each FW release)
and then you must call a function to reset writeeic lock (address changed each FW release)
