1. Insert BIOS-Update-USB Stick stick to a Starterkit USB port
2. Power the starter kit and enter the BIOS by repeatedly pressing ESC
3. Enable @bios_me_txe_enable@ option in the BIOS Menu @bios_me_enable_path@
4. <F10> to save the settings and reboot the system
5. After reboot navigate into the EFI Shell (Boot Manager > Internal EFI Shell)
6. 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.
7. 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
8. Leave EFI shell
Shell> exit
9. Select “Boot Manager”
10. Select desired boot device (e.g. Internal HD)
⇒ System will boot from selected boot device
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 |
The following SPI flash devices are supported:
| Platform/Module | SPI flash device | SPI flash vendor |
|---|---|---|
| @mod_name@ | @spi_flash_device@ | @spi_flash_vendor@ |
Flashing the Carrier SPI Chip is only possible with a working module.
How to:
1. Connect USB key with desired BIOS file and Insyde Update Tool „H2OFFT-Sx64“
2. Open the Boot Jumper @bios_jumper_mb@ (on Carrier)
3. Apply the supply voltage of 12 V; The sytem boot in the EFI Shell
4. Enable “@bios_me_txe_enable@” in the BIOS and press F10 to save the configuration an reset the module
5. Navigate into the EFI-Shell
6. In the EFI Shell, switch path to the USB key
7. Close the Boot Jumper @bios_jumper_mb@ (on Carrier)
8. Execute BIOS Update with the following commands:
Shell> fs0: <Enter> fs0:> H2OFFT_Sx64.efi @bios_image_name@_@bios_image_version@.bin @bios_update_parameter@ -N
9. Open the Boot Jumper @bios_jumper_mb@ (on Carrier) after a successful BIOS Update
10. Turn off the supply voltage
11. Finish. Now you can update modules with 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.
