-----------------
UPDATE PROTECTION
-----------------
Please note: The BCM5880 firmware update process contains 2 protection mechanisms to prevent unauthorized updates.

Protection Mechanism 1: TPM Deactivation.

If the Trusted Platform Module (TPM) on the target computer has ever been activated in the past, in order to update the BCM5880 firmware, the TPM must be set to ON and DEACTIVE in the BIOS SETUP program before the firmware update will run. If the TPM on the target platform has never been activated previously, then this step is NOT necessary.

Protection Mechanism 2: Anti-Hammering.

The BCM5880 is equipped with Anti-Hammering protection that detects large numbers of read/write requests in a short period of time. This mechanism protects against malicious software that attempts to gain access to stored credentials by using multiple retry methods such as dictionary or brute force attacks. If a large number of read/write attempts are detected, the BCM5880 will temporarily shut down to prevent unauthorized access, and a reboot is required. In some instances, starting a firmware update may trigger the Anti-Hammering protection if the BCM5880 has just been recently used. In this case, the firmware update tool will prompt you to power off and then power the system back on, and then proceed with the firmware update.
