1. Instructions for Using DOS Flash Memory Utility
Updated: 8/28/02
The UpdFlash.exe DOS utility can be used to load BIOS binary code to the
flash memory. UpdFlash.exe supports the following flash memory chips:
· AMD's Am29F010B (1 Megabit) and Am29F040B (4 Megabit)
· SST's 39SF010 (1 Megabit) and 39SF020 (2 Megabit)
· SANYO's LE28C1001D (1 Megabit)
· WinBound's 29EE011 (1 Megabit)
· WinBound's 29EE512 (512 Kilobit)
· STMicroelectronics M29F010B (1 Megabit)
If the flash memory chip is not in the above supported list, a menu will
be displayed to allow the user choose which supported chip is compatible
with the flash memory chip in use.
Procedures to run UpdFlash.exe
· For DOS system
· Change to directory where the UpdFlash.exe and BIOS binary file are
located
· Run UpdFlash to load flash memory with BIOS binary code
· For other OS (such as Windows 9x/Me/NT4/2K/XP or Linux/Unix) but with
x86 system
· Download the latest copy of the FreeDOS kernel from internet, it is in:
http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/freedos/ke2026a16.zip
· Unpack the archive, change directories to where you unzipped it, insert
a formatted diskette in a: drive, and then run the install batch file
from there. That should make a bootable floppy drive in "a:"
· Copy the UpdFlash.exe program file and BIOS binary file to "a:"
· Boot from the floppy, run UpdFlash to load flash memory with BIOS binary
code
Notes: For Win9x/ME system, you can use startup disk to boot to DOS mode and run
the UpdFlash utility reliably there. So they might be able to save the
effort of creating this bootable FreeDOS disk.
The UpdFlash.exe command line syntax is as follows:
updflash input_file_name
where
input_file_name is the input binary file name
and select the product.
