===== Prepare USB Stick for BIOS Update ===== === Prerequisites === * FAT formated USB-Stick with at least > 32 MiB storage * Latest H2OFFT™ (Firmware Flash Tool) Due to licensing restrictions the H2OFFT is only available on request.\\ Please contact [[Support@tq-group.com|TQ Support]] for further information. === USB Stick === Copy Insyde Firmware Flash Tool to USB-Stick\\ ├───H2OFFT-Sx64.efi The BIOS-Update-USB Stick is now ready for updating and flashing BIOS images.\\ For further Information please see the following section. ===== @mod_name@ BIOS Update ===== === Prerequisites === *Prepared USB Stick with BIOS Update Tool *BIOS File @bios_image_name@_@bios_image_version@.bin *Copy BIOS File to USB Stick ├─── H2OFFT-Sx64.efi ├─── @bios_image_name@_@bios_image_version@.bin === Perform BIOS Update === Attention: keyboard layout is US by default in the BIOS setup! - Insert BIOS-Update-USB Stick stick to a Starterkit USB port\\ - Power the starter kit and enter the BIOS by repeatedly pressing ESC\\ - Navigate to the tab "Boot" and set the boot type to "Dual Boot Type"\\ - Enable @bios_me_txe_enable@ option in the BIOS Menu @bios_me_enable_path@ - to save the settings and reboot the system\\ To check if the system is prepared for the Firmware Update you can check the //Intel ME-Version// Number on the MAIN page. It should be **0.0.0.0** - After reboot navigate into the EFI Shell (Boot Manager > Internal EFI Shell)\\ - After starting the EFI Shell switch path to the USB stick by typing ''fs0:''. This depends on the amount of connected mass storage devices. With command ''ls'' you can check the content of the path.\\ - Launch BIOS update\\ H2OFFT_Sx64.efi @bios_image_name@_@bios_image_version@.bin @bios_update_parameter@ ⇒ BIOS will reboot into EFI shell after the update has finished succesfully ===== Boot from the external BIOS ===== The BIOS source can be selected on the (@mod_name@) SPI flash via connector @bios_jumper_mb@ on @mb_name@. ^ @bios_jumper_mb@ ^^ ^ Open | BIOS will load from internal SPI Flash | ^ Close | BIOS will load from external SPI Flash | === Supported external SPI flash devices === The following SPI flash devices are supported: ^ Platform/Module ^ SPI flash device ^ SPI flash vendor ^ |@mod_name@ |@spi_flash_device@ |@spi_flash_vendor@ | ===== @mod_name@ Flash BIOS to Carrier SPI Flash Chip ===== Flashing the Carrier SPI Chip is only possible with a working module. **How to:** - Connect USB key with desired BIOS file and Insyde Update Tool „H2OFFT-Sx64“ - **Open** the Boot Jumper @bios_jumper_mb@ (on Carrier) - Apply the supply voltage of 12 V; The sytem boot in the EFI Shell - Enable "@bios_me_txe_enable@" in the BIOS and press F10 to save the configuration an reset the module This step is only nessesary for the TQMxE39x Modules - Navigate into the EFI-Shell - In the EFI Shell, switch path to the USB key - **Close** the Boot Jumper @bios_jumper_mb@ (on Carrier) - Execute BIOS Update with the following commands: Shell> fs0: fs0:> H2OFFT_Sx64.efi @bios_image_name@_@bios_image_version@.bin @bios_update_parameter@ -N - **Open** the Boot Jumper @bios_jumper_mb@ (on Carrier) after a successful BIOS Update - Turn off the supply voltage - Finish. Now you can update modules with the Carrier SPI Flash Chip ===== @mod_name@ BIOS Recovery through the Carrier SPI Flash Chip ===== To recover the onboard BIOS with the Carrier SPI Flash Chip, a preflashed BIOS SPI Chip is required.\\ Please see //**Flash BIOS to Carrier SPI Flash Chip**// above. **How To:** - Connect USB key with desired BIOS file and Insyde Update Tool „H2OFFT-Sx64“ - **Close** the Boot Jumper @bios_jumper_mb@ (on Carrier) - Apply the supply voltage of 12 V; The sytem boot in the EFI Shell - Enable "@bios_me_txe_enable@" in the BIOS and press F10 to save the configuration an reset the module This step is only nessesary for the TQMxE39x Modules - Navigate into the EFI-Shell - In the EFI Shell, switch path to the USB key - **Open** the Boot Jumper @bios_jumper_mb@ (on Carrier) - Execute BIOS Update with the following commands: Shell> fs0: fs0:\> H2OFFT_Sx64.efi @bios_image_name@_@bios_image_version@ @bios_update_parameter@ -N - After successful BIOS Update reset the Module - Finished. You have successfully recovered the onboard BIOS
