BIOS-Update-USB Stick
Prerequisites
- FAT formated USB-Stick with at least > 32 MiB storage
- Latest BIOS-Update-Tools ZIP archive
Creating BIOS-Update-USB Stick
Copy Insyde Firmware Flash Tool to USB-Stick
<USB key> ├───H2OFFT-Sx64.efi
The BIOS-Update-USB Stick is now ready for updating and flashing BIOS images.
For further Information please see the BIOS Update section.
BIOS Update
Prerequisites
- BIOS File (e.g. TQMxE39M)
- Copy BIOS File to BIOS-Update-USB Stick
<USB key> ├───H2OFFT-Sx64.efi ├───TQMxE39M_5.12.30.21.12.bin
Perform BIOS Update
Attention: keyboard layout is US by default in BIOS setup!
- Insert BIOS-Update-USB Stick to a Starterkit USB port
- Enable „TXE Prepare For Update“ in the BIOS Menu and reboot system (Setup Utility > Advanced > Debug Configuration > TXE Prepare for Update > enabled)
- Boot up the system and 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 commandls
you can check the content of the path. - Launch BIOS update
fs0:\> H2OFFT-Sx64.efi <BIOS_Image>.bin –ALL -RA <Enter>
⇒ 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 reboot from selected boot device
TQMxE39 Carrier SPI Flash Update
The Update of the Carrier SPI Flash is only possible with a working module, because the specific Data of the TQMxE39M is placed on the Carrier SPI Flash at the first boot from the SPI Flash.
How to:
- Connect USB key with desired BIOS file and Insyde Update Tool „H2OFFT-Sx64“
- Check the Boot Jumper X23/DIS1# (on Carrier), it must be open
- Apply the supply voltage of 12 V; The sytem boot in the EFI Shell
- Enable “TXE Prepare For Update” in the BIOS
- Reboot the system
- Close the Boot Jumper X23/DIS1# (on Carrier)
- Execute BIOS Update with the following commands:
Shell> fs0: <Enter> fs0:> H2OFFT-Sx64.efi <BIOS file TQMxE39M_xxx.bin> -ALL -RA -N <Enter>
- Open the Boot Jumper X23/DIS1# (on Carrier) after a successful BIOS Update
- Then turn off the supply voltage
- Finish. Now you can update modules again with the Carrier SPI Flash
Boot Logo Replacement
This instruction guides you through the procedure of replacing the Bootlogo using the Insyde UEFI/BIOS tool called H2OLRT (Logo Replacement Tool).
Please note that the logo replacement can only be done in the integrated EFI Shell.
Furthermore, this tool is only available on request, please contact support@tq-group.com.
Prerequisites
Prepare BIOS-Update-USB Stick and add the following components:
- Logo Replacement Tool (H2OLRT-Sx64.efi)
- Appropriate BIOS file for your TQ module (e.g. TQMxE39M_5.12.30.21.12.bin)
- Picture formated as *.jpg (e.g. example_picture.jpg)
Replace Boot Logo via EFI Shell
The H2OLRT (Logo Replacement Tool) generates a BIOS file that contains the desired Boot Logo instead of the TQ Logo.
- Insert the BIOS-Update-USB Stick to a Starterkit USB port
- Boot up the system and 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 conected mass storage devices; with commandls
you can check the content of the path. - The generic command and the following example shows how to start the Logo Replacement.
H2OLRT-Sx64.efi –replogo:<SrcBIOSImageName> –logopath:<LogoImagePathName> -logoindex:<IndexNum> –logoconvert:<ConvertNum> –out:<OutBIOSImageName>
H2OLRT-Sx64.efi Variable description
Variable | Description |
---|---|
<SrcBIOSImageName> | BIOS file in which the logo should be replaced |
<LogoImagePathName> | Path and name of the replacement picture |
<IndexNum> | Default index, where the picture must be stored. e.g. TQMxE39M Logoindex: 1 |
<ConvertNum> | 0 = keep original image's format and dimension. 1 [default] = auto convert the image's format and dimension. |
<OutBIOSImageName> | path and name of the generated BIOS file |
- Next step is to flash the customized BIOS Binary, please see the BIOS Update section.

BIOS_DIS1# | 9 | 10 | GND |
If there is no Jumper present on the BIOS_DIS1# signal the module will load its BIOS from the internal SPI flash.
If there is a Jumper on the BIOS_DIS1# signal (between signal and GND) the module loads its BIOS from the flash in the SPI socket of the carrier board.
Supported external SPI flash devices
Following external SPI flash devices are supported by the corresponding platform/module:
