====== @mod_name@ BIOS Update ======
==== Prerequisites ====
*[[@lang@:@mod_arch@:@mod_name@:bios_update#prepare_usb_stick_for_bios_update|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
*First enable @bios_me_txe_enable@ option in the BIOS Menu @bios_me_enable_path@
* to save the settings and reboot the system
*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
*Leave EFI shell\\
Shell> exit
*Select "Boot Manager"
*Select desired boot device (e.g. Internal HD)\\ ⇒ System will boot from selected boot device

====== 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
- 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 [[@lang@:@mod_arch@:@mod_name@:bios_update#flash_bios_to_carrier_spi_flash_chip|Flash BIOS to Carrier SPI Flash Chip]]
**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

- 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
