The BIOS-Update-USB Stick is now ready for updating and flashing BIOS images.
For further Information please see the BIOS Update section.

• Prepared USB Stick with BIOS Update Tool
• BIOS File BIOS_IMAGE_NAME_BIOS_IMAGE_VERSION.bin
• Copy BIOS File to USB Stick

• 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
• <F10> 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 <label bios_image_name>BIOS_IMAGE_NAME</label>_<label bios_image_version>BIOS_IMAGE_VERSION</label>.bin <label bios_update_parameter>BIOS_UPDATE_PARAMETER</label>

⇒ 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

The BIOS source can be selected between internal (MOD_NAME>) and external (<label mb_name>MB_NAME) SPI flash via connector BIOS_JUMPER_MB on MB_NAME.

The following SPI flash devices are supported:

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 <label bios_image_name>BIOS_IMAGE_NAME</label>_<label bios_image_version>BIOS_IMAGE_VERSION</label>.bin <label bios_update_parameter>BIOS_UPDATE_PARAMETER</label> -N

1. Open the Boot Jumper BIOS_JUMPER_MB (on Carrier) after a successful BIOS Update
2. Turn off the supply voltage
3. 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.
