VIA VL80x USB 3 PCI-E Firmware Utility (Code 10 error)

muzadull · September 1, 2018, 9:41am

Can someone upload any DOS firmware utility for VL80x?
I have a PCI-e Card 4-ports (VIA VL 805) With code 10 error.

It has a tool to flash it within windows. Try the version 013704.

muzadull · September 4, 2018, 3:21pm

Flashing in windows does not work as the flash chip is not recognised.
Am looking for a way to force flash it in DOS.

boombastik · September 5, 2018, 1:09am

link me your card.
What is the model?

muzadull · September 5, 2018, 6:22am

I think it is a generic one.
https://www.ebay.com/itm/4-Port-5-Gbps-S…oQAAOSw-xNazgp5
I think i be better off buying another one but branded this time.

boombastik · September 19, 2018, 10:37am

What is your motherboard?
For me it is better to buy another chip-set.
For example renesas.

Im trying same thing with utility from Station drivers for external PCI-E, but im getting:

Read firmware is giving me this:

Read Firmware OK !

Does it means that these cheap ebay controller, are somehow flawed, that they are not compatible?

ruthan · June 21, 2020, 10:26pm

Someone fixed it by adding some magic numbers to *.ini file, but i dunno how to get them for my card:

There other how to for similar card:

It seems that half bricked my card, because it was not upgraded, but firmware was erased, only USB mass storage is now working, other things stopped…

boombastik · October 15, 2020, 1:48pm

@ruthan you simple run the program as admin and you retry several times until you succeed without a USB device in the controller.

ruthan · November 24, 2020, 11:19pm

@boombastik : Really? And this which program exactly? Above is couple of them.

boombastik · November 25, 2020, 10:21am

from the station driver forum.

Hi, I also now have a VL805 USB 3.0 PCIe card. I upadted FW to the latest version 0138a1 found on RPi forum (RPi 4 has the same chip). I had to modify INI file of the flasher to fully support my SPI flash chip, notes here (others can use google tran)
http://rayer.g6.cz/hardware/gap67ds3.htm#USB3_VL805
Don’t forget the PC power cycle after flash to reload FW.

Then I tried various VIA driver versions but was disappointed that none work with PAE 4GB+ (getting error code 10) so I tried NTOSKRNL Emu_Extender and backported Win8 USB 3.0 drivers and seems to work with PAE fine. I put all necessary files including my latest binary build of NTOSKRNL Emu_Extender for WinXP, USB drivers and FWs:

xlr8r · February 14, 2021, 6:19pm

Hey did you ever get this resolved ?

Im having exact same issue, tried to flash and 1/2 bricked the card.

I have exact same 4-port controller you have. (VIA VL805-Q6 controller)

From what i can tell from this card , it has a EON F10-100GCP chip. (see images at end of the post)

If only we could add that chips parameters to the spiflash.ini but i don’t know the correct parameters .

Maybe someone here can help ?

This is what I get when I try to flash ;

Targeted VID = 1106

And, this is the spiflash.ini file info (below) I am currently using , i added a couple of extra chipsets onto the end at ( 21=25P10VP, 22=PM25LD020, 23=ZB25D40B ) from info taken from various threads on this issue . but this didnt help with flashing the EON F10-100GCP chip.

Flash as admin again and again until success.
@xlr8r Keep in mind this:
-https://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/viewt…=vl805#p1819139
<somebody from the rpi irc channel mentioned they took an rpi vl805 firmware, and flashed it to a pci-e card to fix a UAS bug that is only fixed on the pi
but as a side-effect, 2 of the usb ports downgraded to usb2.0 only>

I have seen it myself it wont work properly.

Am i supposed to open and close the flash tool each time ? or does it not matter ?
I even went as far as trying to install windows xp + 7 on Virtual Machine, but neither will let me access USB sticks .... just hitting brick wall after brick wall lol.
I know the flash tool wiped the chip as it reads back the fw as all 0000000 now, so it must have the potential to rewrite to it ?
I just dont get why it "Cannot Recognize SPI Flash, Try Default Flash Command To Download..."

This is not a problem.

Download this firmware and try to update it:

As admin and and open and close the firmware tool if fails.

Dont update to the raspberrypi 0138A1.BIN firmware.

@xlr8r
1)If you have a usb device remove it.
2)The driver must be the default from Microsoft and not via.
3)change the pcie at last.
