| Tempo SSD Pro/Tempo SSD/Tempo SATA Pro 6Gb 4-Port Firmware Updater 1.0 | | Jan-29-2013 | | Operating System Requirements: Mac OS X 10.6+
Description: This macOS software updates the firmware in very early versions (mid 2014 and earlier) of Sonnet's Tempo SSD Pro, Tempo SSD, and Tempo SATA Pro 6Gb 4-Port PCIe cards with the Marvell SATA controller. Later versions of these card (mid 2014 and newer) with the Marvell controller have current firmware. This updater will not work on the most recent versions of these cards that have an ASMedia SATA controller. You need this update only if your version of a Marvell card will not support booting in a Mac Pro. This firmware update enables your card to support booting when the card is installed in a Mac Pro running OS X 10.6.8+
Instructions:
1. Click the Download Now button to the right.
2. Locate and, if necessary, open the MarvellFlasherGUI.dmg file.
3. Double-click the Marvell 9182 Flasher Installer X.x.pkg file to launch the updater application installer.
4. Follow the onscreen instructions; the updater application will be installed into the Applications folder. Note that in order to complete the installation, you may have to navigate back to the Finder to click OK in a dialog window stating the application was installed.
5. In the Applications folder, locate and double-click the Marvell9182FlasherGUI.app file to launch the firmware updater application.
6. Select your Tempo card (if it isn't already selected), and then click Update.
7. Restart your computer; the firmware updater will load, appearing as text on a black screen.
8. Type "y" when prompted; the Tempo card's firmware will be updated. Note that you will be prompted a second time if you are updating a Tempo SSD Pro card; type "y" again.
9. Press the return key to close the firmware updater application and restart the computer.
Notes:
• Do not shut off your computer while it is updating the Tempo card's firmware; the card may become disabled
• After the firmware is updated, your card will continue to operate as before when installed in a Thunderbolt-to-PCIe expansion product or in a Windows PC

| How do I use Sonnet's SATA cards in VMWare/vSphere 5.5+? | Mar-27-18 | | The "in-box" driver loads for generic AHCI devices, but it won't start unless the specific device (ASMedia, for example) is listed in the "driver map files". They are located in /etc/vmware/driver.map.d/ahci.map in the vSphere system. Fortunately, Andreas Peetz, who runs a must-know VMWare site called www.v-front.de, describes this in some detail "How to make your unsupported SATA AHCI Controller work with ESXi 5.5 and 6.0, and has an xahci.map you can easily install that will fully enable the driver. We tested it, it seems to work for ASMedia cards. | | |

| Option-boot doesn't function in Mac Pro 5,1 when a bootable Mac OS is installed on a Tempo SSD | Jan-02-21 | | There were two versions of Tempo SSD.
The original version used the Marvell 88SE9182 SATA controller.
The current version uses an ASMedia ASM1062 SATA controller.
With the discontinued Marvell controller, if a bootable volume is created on a Tempo SSD, option-boot works fine in the Mac Pro 3,1, 4,1, and 7,1 (2019), but not in the Mac Pro 5,1. The recommended workaround in a Mac Pro 5,1 is to select the boot volume in the Startup Disk System Preferences and restart. If the Tempo SSD has only data volume(s) (not bootable volumes), then option
With the current ASMedia controller, option-boot works fine in the Mac Pro 5,1. | | |
