Overview

========

The Master FLB (BootIMG.FLB) file format has changed to allow using four part

Device IDs when necessary to distinguish the correct NVM image for a device.

All utilities and software are able to read older versions of the Master FLB.

However, you must update any utilities software you use to a more recent

version to use the new Master FLB. Please upgrade to the following versions (or

a more recent version):



- BootUtil, v. 1.3.5.xxx

- Intel(R) Proset for Windows* Device Manager, v. 17.1.xxx

- SMASH, v2-2.0.0.58



The current version can be downloaded at Intel's Network Products information
