BIOS/UEFI Utilities for Aptio and AMIBIOS
Where BIOS ROM File Name, the mandatory field is used to specify path/filename of the BIOS ROM file with extension. This command line saves the current ROM image to a file. AFUDOS & lt; Output BIOS ROM File Name & gt; /U Where BIOS ROM File Name is used to specify path/filename of the BIOS ROM file with extension. The principle it relies upon is simple: provided with an AMI UEFI BIOS file, the program is able to detect the version of OROM / EFI modules in order to update them. The CPU microcode can also be.
Custom UEFI and BIOS utilities for Aptio and AMIBIOS simplify the development and debug experience. AMI's Aptio firmware offers an easy transition to the Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) specification, giving developers all the advantages of UEFI - modularity, portability, C-based coding - while retaining easy-to-use tools that facilitate manufacturing and enhance productivity. AMI's rich set of utilities for BIOS ROM image customization without rebuilding the firmware provide a clear advantage in reducing both time and cost.
AMI Firmware Update (AFU)
AMI Firmware Update (AFU) is a scriptable command line utility for DOS, Microsoft Windows®, Linux, FreeBSD and the UEFI shell. Utilized for factory or field BIOS updates, AFU is flexible enough to update the entire Flash part or only a portion. It programs the main BIOS image, boot block or OEM configurable ROM regions.
AMI Firmware Update Utilities:
AMI BIOS Configuration Program (AMIBCP)
The AMI BIOS Configuration Program (AMIBCP) for Aptio enables customers to modify parameters in a BIOS ROM without rebuilding from source. Developers can modify default values for BIOS setup parameters, modify default boot order in BIOS setup, view and edit sign-on and setup strings, and edit SMBIOS string data.
Supported Products:
AMI Setup Control Environment (AMISCE)
AMISCE is a command line tool which provides an easy way to update NVRAM variables, extract variables directly from the BIOS, change settings using either a text editor or a setup program and update the BIOS. AMISCE produces a script file that lists all setup questions on the system being modified by AMISCE. The user can then modify the script file and use it as input to change the current NVRAM setup variables.
Supported Products:
AMI Setup Data Extraction (AMISDE)
AMISDE is a command line tool for exporting setup data from an Aptio ROM image, including spreadsheet applications such as Microsoft Excel®. It generates a helpful summary report of BIOS setup parameters and default values that enhances productivity in testing and manufacturing.
Supported Products:
AMISLP
AMISLP allows the insertion of Microsoft System Locked Pre-Installation (SLP) key files into the BIOS image. SLP keys are used for OEM activation of Microsoft Windows® 7 and Vista®. For Windows® 8.1 and Windows® 10, the OEM Activation 3.0 eModule is used in conjunction with AFU v2.35 or greater.
Supported Products:
AMI Utility Configuration Program (AMIUCP)
AMIUCP is a utility that is used to pre-configure the Aptio Flash Utility (AFU). Users can insert and exchange the default command string and ROM image used in AFU to create a customized version of the utility. AMIUCP supports AFU v2.35 or AFUWINGUI v1.12 or later.
Supported Products:
Change Logo
ChangeLogo allows developers to easily change logos displayed by Aptio at boot. The full screen 'splash' logo and small logos appearing on the main screen during POST can be replaced with custom logos. ChangeLogo also allows logos to be extracted from existing Aptio ROM files.
Supported Products:
Desktop Management Interface Edit (DMIEdit)
DMIEdit is a scriptable command line utility for DOS, Microsoft Windows®, Linux and the UEFI shell. The Desktop Management Interface Editor for Aptio enables developers to modify strings associated with platform SMBIOS tables (System, Base Board, Chassis, OEM string, etc). In manufacturing, use DMIEdit to embed platform serial numbers, UUID and license keys into the SMBIOS table, which identifies platforms to management software.
Supported Products:
AMI Key Management (AMIKM)
The AMIKM utility program can write PK, KEK and signature database information to the target system. Please note that the SMI Variable module is required in order to use AMIKM.
Supported Products:
Module Management Tool (MMTool)
Aptio's Module Management Tool (MMTool) allows developers to manage firmware file modules contained within an Aptio firmware ROM image. Use MMTool to extract, replace and insert binary components such as modules, Option ROMs, microcode patches and ROM holes using its graphical or command line interface. With MMTool, developers can also create reports on the contents of an opened ROM image.
Supported Products:
AMI UEFI ROM Dissect Tool (AMIRDT)
The AMIRDT utility makes it easy for developers to dissect a UEFI ROM and produce related reports on ROM status and size. This powerful tool can dissect ROMs down to section level, dissect NVRAM Variables, compare two ROMs and search the GUIDs of a given FFS to provide a summary of their sizes from ROM.
Supported Products:
Utilities are available for Windows,
DOS, Linux, BSD and EFI Shell

Introduction
An American Megatrends BIOS Update is sometimes necessary because, like any other software, improvements are made to improve stability and performance.
You should really update your computer's BIOS when a newer version is released.
This is easier to do these days (20+ years ago it was a nightmare!). AMI and other computer manufacturers provide free Flash BIOS Utilities which update your BIOS for you when you run the program (more on this later).
However, I think the AMI instructions are not very clear for typical home computer users. This tutorial aims to make the process as clear as possible for you.
There are a few things to do first before updating your computer's BIOS.
Motherboard Identification
There are different AMIBIOS products on different computer systems. Most computer makers change the AMIBIOS code to suit their own computer models.
Attention!
Modern computers now come with a new type of BIOS, called Unified Extensible Firmware Upgrade (UEFI). Click here for more details.
The image below is from the AMI website, and shows you how to identify whether your home computer has a native AMI approved motherboard or not.
Where it says 'BIOS from 1991-Present', there is a reference to AMI and the motherboard type, if it is a AMI approved motherboard.
This reference looks something like: AMIS875-P, signifying a Series S875 AMI Motherboard (it actually says AMI123-P on the image above as an example).
If your computer does not have an AMI reference, refer to your computer providers website for guidance. If you require more details on this step, go to the AMI BIOS (Opens New Window)Pokemon offline games for android free download. web page.
If you don't understand this step. Don't worry! Download the AMIBID(Opens New Window) motherboard identification tool. Simply install and run on your computer.
If the AMIBID utility fails, go to the CPUID (Opens New Window) web page, download and install the CPU-Z tool. This is another motherboard identification utility.
From the example above, this computer has an AMIBIOS, but it is not an AMI motherboard. In this instance, the home computer user must visit the ASRack website and search for the BIOS update for the ALive motherboard.
Attention!
This is Very Important! You must always use the BIOS update made available by your motherboards manufacturer.
AMIBIOS ROM And Flash Utility
If you determine you have an AMI motherboard, download the AMI Firmware Update Tool(Opens New Window).
Unzip the American Megatrends BIOS Update utility. Go to the AFUWIN folder (under the AMIBIOS parent folder), then either the 32-bit or 64-bit sub-folder. Left click AFUWIN.EXE.
Click OK if this disclaimer appears.
Click the Open Button to search for and select the ROM file you downloaded from your motherboard manufacturers website.
Attention!
Click SAVE to take a copy of your existing BIOS Settings. If anything goes wrong you have an option to restore!
Click the Flash Button. The Process tab will be displayed to show you the update BIOS process in action.
When the process is complete, exit the Flash Utility and Restart Your Computer (if it doesn't restart for you).
Your BIOS is now updated to the latest version. Refer to the AMIBIOS Support web page if further support is required.
American Megatrends BIOS Update Final Thoughts
The American Megatrends BIOS Update process is a little complicated. I hope the information provided on this web page is useful. Good luck with your BIOS update.
A very useful link is to the AMI FAQ(Opens New Window). It explains common questions and issues very clearly.
Don't forget to take a look at part 1 of this tutorial series, which introduces you to the BIOS concept, AMIBIOS beep error codes and the BIOS Setup Utility.
