Typically, the software is appropriate from the firmware.

Officially on the manufacturer's website there is no FW to this disk. FW I received from the producer but I received information that it can be uploaded only under linux but I do not know how.

mbo · Answer

Ask the manufacturer for instructions on how to upload this firmware.

hynio82 · Answer

I asked ... but all this is going on ... and I do not know when I will answer

Łukasz_W · Answer

The producer sent the file but did not send instructions on how to use it? Interesting...

melanchel · Answer

Post it on the forum, add an attachment and describe which FW is to be updated.

max-bit · Answer

Probably the producer will not send anything because uploading takes place in the factory through the JTAG interface
And not software for wines

And after all, why do you want to upload some software?
If prod does not place it on the site, it means that such a procedure is (probably) unnecessary.

The manufacturer sent me an e-mail firmware to work with the Nvidia MCP79 chipset. In the e-mail, the producer mentioned that the firmware update only takes place from the Linux system level. Detailed instructions on how to do this have not been given. SATA devices in the MCP79 chipset are not handled correctly. Correct operation is to be provided by this firmware.

greetings

hmm if he did not send instructions, it's hard to say how to do it.
After that Nvidia MCP79 is probably a bridge ... and not a chipset in the disk.
And we still do not know why this update should take place?
There is a program on the page ... smart_goodram? But does he support ... well, not if the producer wants us to do it after linux.
After that, it's strange, the manufacturer sends a firmware that wants us to do it under linux without any instructions

I'm sorry, but it's very strange ... was someone in goodram gone out of his mind?

melanchel · Answer

I still do not know what you got, what FW and what was actually in the description in the email?

hynio82 · Answer

As I wrote earlier, the manufacturer sent me an e-mail firmware which should work with the Nvidia MCP79 bridge. In the e-mail, the producer mentioned that the firmware update only takes place from the Linux system level. There was nothing more in the mail. As I asked for instructions, he has not written back so far. In the attachment of the firmware that I received. Below is an e-mail quote:

Hello,

We currently do not have a Windows version for this model.
In the attachment we send a version for Linux.

Please keep in mind that the update deletes all data on the disk. Therefore, please make a copy of the data before you change the disk software.

Inside the uploaded archive is the executable file Reinitial_SBFM711_V1 (4306584 bytes). It seems that you need to run a Linux version of Live and if the CX300 drive is visible, mount it and then run the unpacked above program.
