Read FW from the device and save it as an image file.

MT58100 SwitchX switch:
Burn the image on a blank Flash device. Meaning, no GUIDs/MACs are currently burnt
on thedevice, therefore they must be supplied (with -guid/-guids and -mac/-macs) by
the burningcommand. Moreover, the burn process cannot be failsafe when burning a
blank Flash, thereforethe -nofs flag must be specified.
# mstflint -d 41:00.0 -i /tmp/fw-sx.bin -nofs -guids 000002c900002100 0 0

Burning theMFA2 Images
Burning the MFA2 images enables the user to extract (i.e. unzip) 4MB images from MFA2 archive that
matches the device type and device PSID.If there are more than one matching images, the user may
use the--latest_fwflag and burn the latest firmware, or choose the required image from the user
menu.
Burning theMFA2 Images when the Device Includes a Valid Image
In this scenario, the user may (optional) provide a “—psid” flag and extract from the
MFA2 archive the image that matches this flag, and this way actually change the PSID
on the device.
Burning theMFA2 Images when in Live Fish Mode
In this scenario, the user must provide a“—psid”flag and extract from the MFA2
archive the image that matches this flag, and this way actually change the PSID on the
device.
mstflint: Managing an Expansion ROM Image
To burn an Expansion ROM image, run the following command:
# mstflint -d <mst device> brom <image name>.mrom
The “brom” command installs the ROM image on the flash device or replaces an already existing one.
Example:
The device flash MUST have all relevant device information (signatures, PSID, VPD, DEV_INFO,
MFG_INFO, etc.) valid since MFA2 format does not have that information and without the burn
process will fail.
#mstflint -d <device> -i <mfa2 file> --psid <PSID string> (optionally) --
latest_fw (optionally) –silent (optionally) b (or burn)

Burning mfa2 requires installing mstflint with --enable-fw-mgr option.
