Tool to Insert/Replace SLIC in Phoenix / Insyde / Dell / EFI BIOSes

Hi All,

Is it possible to insert new CPU microcode to a Dell bios with PhoenixTools? I see that a file "temphdr" which contains the microcode(s) is created if I enable "no slic" and "allow modification of modules" options. However, this file is not placed in "dump" directory but the directory of original bios file instead. Any edits of this "temphdr" file does not seem to be packaged back into the newly created bios file by PhoenixTools.

Could anyone please shred some lights on me? Thanks!

I once replaced the complete microcode module (took module from ASUS board and inserted the module into an ASRock board), worked. They had later AMI bios types (can only be opened with MMTool 4.5.xx).

 

Hi All,

How do I modify the bios so that the MGADiag reports -

OEM Activation 2.0 Data-->
BIOS valid for OA 2.0: yes, but no SLIC table
Windows marker version: N/A
OEMID and OEMTableID Consistent: N/A

Right now it shows "BIOS valid for OA 2.0: no, invalid Windows marker" on one system & "BIOS valid for OA 2.0: no, invalid SLIC table" for the other ? These are Lenovo systems with AMI EFI.

Can anyone please help me on this ?

Thank you.

Thanks for the info... however my case is Dell Phoenix bios which cannot seems to be opened by Phoenix Bios Editor 2.2.13. It says "Cannot find BCP" and I have no idea what that is :~)

The first and original bios version F.12 Insyde BIOS is the only one that works from about 7 updates up to version F.37 that I found for download.

Rename/placing the RSA.sig and .bin files generated by phoenixtool to the HP_TOOLS....->Current folder doesn't work with the Windows+B key to Flash the BIOS.

Off topic
I read masses on coreboot, UEFI and got fairly disapointed with the amount of complexity...
All I wanted was a coreboot system and having an easy backup to reflash the Insyde bios in case something goes wrong....what I got was that in the near future thanks to UEFI it will be a no coreboot world at large and even the idea of linux and windows simply plug & use the machine is going to be fiddling with who knows what crazy loopholes keys and "smart arse" traps....
Venting out but really shocking that this is happening in 2013 and no real open systems exist

 

I used the tool 214 to mod the bios of C.B75H v23,but not succeeded.The bios is EFI.The Slic table cannot inserted.

 

Thanks,but where can I get the SLP support module?

 

Dear Mr Andy,
I need latest AMI BIOS ADD SLIC TOOL. I have AMI_SLIC3, which when I open suggests new tool availability. Further it is not accepting Intel BIO FILE saying BIO file must be 128 KB.
