8 Bios and Firmware Update
This update procedure is for newer BIOS versions, V1.50 or later.
For older BIOS versions please see the relevant readme file or contact Technical Support.
8.1 Setup Controlled Update
Within BIOS Setup main menu there is a submenu “MSC Firmware Update” integrated to define settings for BIOS updates and to start the update.
Control flags define the section of FLASH which needs to be updated (BIOS only, complete FLASH, partial BIOS sections, etc.) and other options
such as screen output, preserving DMI data, etc.
The update file (a complete SPI firmware image) has to be stored at a fixed location within the file system on a mass storage device. BIOS loads the
file into RAM, performs optional security checks and finally programs the data to the BIOS FLASH according to supplied control flags.
Supported mass storage devices (platform dependent): USB, SATA, eMMC
Supported file systems (platform dependent): FAT, EXT3, NTFS
Image location within file system: /Recovery/FlashImg.bin
- To start the update make sure that the medium with the correct Bios stored is connected.
- In Bios section Main/MSC Firmware Update configure control flags as needed. Then enter “Start firmware Update”.
- After Bios update is done system will reboot.
NOTICE: Do not reset or power-cycle the board during update !
