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@
<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 @bios_image_name@_@bios_image_version@.bin @bios_update_parameter@

⇒ BIOS will reboot into EFI shell after the update has finished succesfully

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 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.
