BIOS Tools

Hope now is sharp clear.

It is now, AMIBCP 4.53 doesn't seem to be 100% compatible with your BIOS. There are later versions of AMIBCP. AMIBCP 4.50 was not 100% compatible with mine either. Have no issues with 4.53.

 

The version of AMIBCP is not so important

Well, I can't even save the BIOS image file (Asus P8P67 Deluxe) with AMIBCP 4.50.

Was about menus, sub-menus or entry that are present in AMIBCP and set to visible but does not show up on flashed BIOS or they are in setup binary but dosen't show up at all, AMIBCP or flashed BIOS.
It will not enable/disable menus that you will find in Setup EFI binary.

Everything, menus/submenus/options, set to show in AMIBCP 4.53, also show on my BIOS screens and vice versa. Why are you worried about menus in setup binary that do not show up in AMIBCP or flashed BIOS if that was the intention? What does the manual for the MB indicate?

 

I have some that are present but do not show up on flashed BIOS, like Internal PLL overvoltage or Lock Legacy Resources that I want to enable.

What does the MB manual say regarding Internal PLL Overvoltage? You may be trying to enable something that isn't supported. I don't know what MB you have.

There is an Internal PLL Overvoltage option in my BIOS. I can use AMIBCP to hide it or set the default value to Auto, enabled or disabled.

On the other hand, my BIOS has a Serial Port Configuration submenu with a COM1 port option that's enabled by default. Guess what?...The board doesn't even have a serial port header. What you see is not always what you're supposed to get. Generic firmware code gets copied and pasted all the time.

 

Maybe you should post your example and what you could unhide with AMIBCP.

I'm able to access all menus/submenus/options in BIOS after changing access level from default to supervisor.

But there are main menu branches which AMIBCP shows up

Don't see any in my AMIBCP BIOS image.

For instance some EFI have 2 different advanced menus.

Nothing like that here. Do you have a link to a BIOS file with these issues?

 

Can't post links yet. Board is Asus P8P67 Deluxe. Knock yourself out.

 

Thanks Yen for AMI_SLIC3 update dated 2007-10-1 00:04

 

Thanks for the tools.

 

Looking for AMISCEW for APTIO. I found the dos version posted here to be really usefull. but I would like to make some scripts under windows.
does anyone has it? thanks in advance.

As for me the best way for AwardBIOS is to use CBROM32 instead CBROM 2.15 or CBROM 2.19. I've found it at CBROM Repository.

 

aye, thanks for the tools

 

Thanks for the tools!!

 

I've got this tools from a diferent place, but a novice yet, all of them are good tools, I'm still learning how to use some of them.

 

I've used these as well. Great collection!

Is there a recent version of a tool to check the SLIC version in an AMI BIOS?

Thx

 

Will this work with EFI/Insyde BIOS?
