Benz has developed a 3 spindle aggregate.Preliminary Notes. 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.Hannes Kofler, Owner and Managing Director, Joinery workshop Kofler, Italy. Custom UEFI and BIOS utilities for Aptio and AMIBIOS simplify the development and debug experience.
The Desktop Management Interface Editor for Aptio enables customers to modify strings associated with platform SMBIOS tables (System, Base Board, Chasis, OEM string, etc). In backup of my current bios - zeros too , although in rw-everything all tables good filled.DMIEdit is a scriptable command line utility for DOS, Microsoft Windows, Linux and the UEFI shell. But I can not understand why all pointers to other tables in RSDT and XSDT - all zeros. If you are searching for an easier method to get some Option ROM or EFI modules of an AMI UEFI BIOS updated, you may look into thread.How to manually extract/replace/insert BIOS moduleshere: AMI UEFI BIOSes( Last updated: )A.Now I learned to run mmtool v3.26, extract decompressed module 1B,then I found a program ami1bsplitter.exe, which gives ACPITBLSEG as a separate file.
An appropriate BIOS modding tool named AMI Aptio UEFI MMTool.Since there are 2 different AMI Aptio platforms (IV for all 'old' UEFI BIOS mainboards with an Intel 6/7/8/9-Series or X79 chipset and V for mainboards with a newer Intel chipset from 100-Series up), there are different AMI Aptio UEFI MMTool versions available. Although the UBU tool offers different well-approved versions of the most popular LEGACY and EFI BIOS modules, it cannot satisfy all the wishes user may have regarding an exotic or brandnew BIOS module version.That is why I have written this guide.1.PreparationThis is what you need. Not all BIOS modules can be updated by the UBU tool.3. Like the tool name already indicates, the UEFI BIOS Updater can only update an already present LEGACY or EFI BIOS module, but neither extract any BIOS module nor insert an absolute new one into the BIOS.2. This is the easiest and safest method for users, who just want to update one or more Option ROM or EFI modules, which are needed for a proper function of the onboard Device Controllers.Unfortunately the currently available UEFi BIOS Updater (UBU) has some limitations:1.
It works with not capsuled Aptio IV BIOSes as well (exception: CPU Microcode updates), but the MMTool v4.50 seems to be the better option for them.'AMI Aptio V UEFI MMTool v5.2.0.24' (dated )The link to this tool has been removed here upon demand of American Megatrends Inc. 'AMI Aptio V UEFI MMTool v5.0.0.7' (dated )The link to this tool has been removed here upon demand of American Megatrends Inc (AMI), but you may find it, if you do a Google search for 'MMTool Aptio '.The MMTool v5.0.0.7 has been primarily been designed for Aptio V platform BIOSes (from X99 and 100-Series Chipset mainboards up). (AMI), but you may find it, if you do a Google search for 'MMTool Aptio '.This UEFI MMTool version is recommended for the manual BIOS modding of AMI Aptio IV BIOSes (all AMI UEFI BIOSes up to except from Intel X99 mainboards).
The 'clean' (uncompressed) BIOS file you want to modify.If the BIOS has been offered inclusive installer and Flash Utility (as EXE file, it has to be extracted by using an appropriate tool.Tip: To make the BIOS processing clearly arranged for you, I recommend to create a sepate folder (e.g. Usrs, who want to use this modded variant, should do a Google search for 'MMTool Aptio Mod'. The original tool is only usable with AMI Aptio V BIOSes, but it exists a 'patched' variant of it, which works with nearly all AMI Aptio IV BIOSes as well.
8 MB).This is the way to open an UEFI BIOS file. Opening of an AMI Aptio IV UEFI BIOS fileThe UEFI type AMI BIOS files can easily be identified by their big size (minimum: 4 MB, usually ca. A sub-folder named 'desired', where you can store the BIOS modules, which you want to get into the BIOS and.A currently empty sub-folder named 'extracted', where you can put the extracted BIOS modules later on during/after your BIOS processing work.2. Additionally you may create.
Extraction of a BIOS moduleGenerally notes. In this case you have to use the AMI MMTool v3.26 and to follow the instructions you will find.3. Doubleclick onto the BIOS file.Now the Aptio MMTool GUI will look like this:If the Aptio UEFI MMTool should not able to open the AMI BIOS file, it is not an AMI UEFI BIOS. If your BIOS has neither the extension.ROM nor.CAP, choose the 'all files' option.Now you should see the prepared 'clean' BIOS file. Hit the 'Load Image' button, browse to the folder with the AMI UEFI BIOS file you want to open and choose the correct 'Files of Type'.
The extraction of a BIOS module doesn't effect the mainboard BIOS. Contrary to the non-UEFI AMI BIOS the important 'Option ROM' modules of the AMI UEFI BIOS files are hidden and cannot be seen by opening the BIOS file.Usually all OROM files are stored within the BIOS file named 'CSMCORE' and identified by the listed Vendor- and Device-ID. Intel RAID or LAN ones) while running in LEGACY mode, need to be extracted, replaced and inserted another way than EFI modules and other ( non-Option ROM) BIOS modules.Below you will find the specific guides for both sorts of BIOS modules.
Mmtool V3.26 How To Extract An
Run the Aptio MMTool and open the mainboard BIOS file (see above). So you have to extract it, if you want to know the details about it (vendor, sort, version and supported DeviceID).This is the procedure how to extract an Option ROM module. It is impossible to verify the version of any BIOS module as long as it is part of the BIOS file.
Users, who want to replace any VGA ROM (VBIOS) module, should read guide written by SoniX, before they start their work.This is the procedure regarding the replacement of an Option ROM module. Since the 'Extraction' procedure doesn't change the BIOS file at all, you can close the MMTool without hitting the 'Save Image' button.4.Replacement of a BIOS moduleCaution: The manual replacement of an Option ROM module is usually very safe (provided, that the DeviceID is matching), but may be dangerous regarding the Intel VGA ROM (VBIOS) modules. Usually a lot of such informations are visible within the text code (right-hand side of the Hex Editor GUI). If you want to know the version or other details of the extracted module, you should open it with a Hex Editor. Now you will find the extracted BIOS module as.FFS file within your test folder (e.g. Hit the 'Extract' button of the Aptio MMTool.
Highlight the related line. Important is the listed 'FileName' and maybe additionally the first characters of the listed 'GUID'. Make sure, that the 'Link present' box within the 'For Option ROM only' area is unchecked.Scroll down within the Aptio MMTool GUI window and search for the module you want to get replaced.
The 'modded' BIOS file should have exactly the same size as the original one, but a different date.5.Insertion of an originally not present BIOS moduleSome mainboards have an on-board AHCI or LAN Controller, but the original BIOS doesn't contain any suitable OROM module for this device (example: ASMedia 106x AHCI Controller).Here is the way how to get such missing PCI ROM module inserted into the BIOS. D:BIOS-MOD) or within the folder you had chosen while saving the modified one. After having done all that correctly, you will find the modified BIOS within the folder where the original BIOS file was (e.g. Wait some seconds, before you close the MMTool. Hit the 'Replace' button of the Aptio MMTool.Hit 'Save Image' or - if you want to rename the BIOS file - the 'Save Image as.' Button. Double-click onto the desired file, which shall replace the actually present one.
Open the BIOS with the AMI Aptio MMTool and hit the 'Insert' tab. Hit the 'Insert' button.Save the modified BIOS file.And here is a short guide about how to get a missing EFI module inserted into the BIOS. D:BIOS-MODdesired1b21-0612v951.bin).In my example the AMI Aptio MMTool GUI looked like this. Hit the 'Browse' button and navigate to the OROM file you want to insert (e.g.
