NOTE REGARDING UP SQUARED PLATFORM: The firmware provided by this project for the UP Squared maker board is not based on the official manufacturer's firmware. This project is for experimentation and is not supported by the manufacturer (Aaeon). Flashing this firmware on the UP Squared will void the manufacturer's warranty. Thanks to Aaeon for their cooperation and providing platform porting information. ================================================================================ INDEX ================================================================================ 1.

HOW TO UPDATE THE PLATFORM BIOS FIRMWARE IMAGE ================================================================================ Use a hardware-based SPI programmer to program the firmware image: 1) As an example, please refer to the "Flashing MinnowBoard Max with Dediprog SF-100 in Windows" document at firmware.intel.com: https://firmware.intel.com/sites/default/files/Flashing_MinnowBoard_MAX_with_Dediprog_SF100_in-Windows.pdf Use Firmware Update tool to update BIOS image (make sure BIOS Lock is disabled): 1) Instructions for updating 64-bit BIOS image when executing within a 64-bit environment: a. Copy "FirmwareUpdateX64.efi" file and target Bios image file to storage device (SD Card, USB disk, or SATA). b. Enter UEFI shell. c. Navigate to the storage device by typing the "fsX:" command under UEFI shell ("X" portion is replaced by the identifier of the storage device being used, for example, fs0:). d. Type the following command to update 64bit bios image: FirmwareUpdateX64.efi e. The system will automatically shutdown after the update is complete. 2) Instructions for updating 32-bit BIOS image when executing within a 64-bit environment: a. Copy "FirmwareUpdateX64.efi" file and target Bios image file to storage device (SD Card, USB disk, or SATA). b. Enter UEFI shell. c. Navigate to the storage device by typing the "fsX:" command under UEFI shell ("X" portion is replaced by the identifier of the storage device being used, for example, fs0:). d. Type the following command to update 32bit bios image: FirmwareUpdateX64.efi e. The system will automatically shutdown after the update is complete. 3) Instructions for updating 64-bit BIOS image when executing within a 32-bit environment: a. Copy "FirmwareUpdateIA32.efi" file and target Bios image file to storage device (SD Card, USB disk, or SATA). b. Enter UEFI shell. c. Navigate to the storage device by typing the "fsX:" command under UEFI shell ("X" portion is replaced by the identifier of the storage device being used, for example, fs0:). d. Type the following command to update 64bit bios image: FirmwareUpdateIA32.efi e. The system will automatically shutdown after the update is complete. 4) Instructions for updating 32-bit BIOS image when executing within a 32-bit environment: a. Copy "FirmwareUpdateIA32.efi" file and target Bios image file to storage device (SD Card, USB disk, or SATA). b. Enter UEFI shell. c. Navigate to the storage device by typing the "fsX:" command under UEFI shell ("X" portion is replaced by the identifier of the storage device being used, for example, fs0:). d. Type the following command to update 32bit bios image: FirmwareUpdateIA32.efi e. The system will automatically shutdown after the update is complete. ================================================================================ 6. KNOWN ISSUES ================================================================================ 1) Intel(R) Boot Guard 2.0 is not enabled by default. Please contact your Intel Representative to obtain the required tools and instructions. 2) eMMC is not stable when running at HS400 on Leaf Hill FAB D and MinnowBoard 3 Module (pre-production board). Current version downgrades eMMC host to HS200. 3) UP Squared: The second PCIe RealTek NIC is disabled due to installer issue with Microsoft* Windows 10. ================================================================================ 7. MISC ================================================================================ 1) Virus scanned by McAfee VirusScan Enterprise 8.8.0, Virus Definitions 9007, no virus detected. * Other names and brands may be claimed as the property of others.
