BIOS update on CD2-BEBOP:
=========================

A BIOS update is accomplished by programming the FWH (*1) on the
CD2-BEBOP.

Follow the steps described below for a BIOS update on CD2-BEBOP:
- Copy all files of the ZIP archive to a bootable DOS formatted
  device (e.g. disk or USB stick)
- Boot the system from this device
- When the DOS prompt displays, press <P> <ENTER>
- Wait for end of programming, view result. If an error occurs
  during programming (which is very unlikely), try batchfile P.BAT
  once more BEFORE the system is reset
- When finished successfully restart your system with reset-button,
  a power-off-on sequence or by pressing CTRL-ALT-DEL

Note if CCA-LAMBADA or CCB-BOSSANOVA is installed on CD2-BEBOP:
Make sure that jumper J_FWH on CCA or CCB is removed. This ensures
that the BIOS is loaded from the FWH on CD2-BEBOP after reboot.

WARNING:
Do not interrupt the programming procedure in order to avoid
damage of the Flash. Programming takes max. 100 seconds if the
BIOS binary is loaded from a floppy disk and about 20 seconds
when the binary is loaded from an USB-Stick or a harddisk.

The new BIOS is present after resetting the system. If the
format of CMOS parameter has changed compared to the previous
BIOS version, all CMOS parameter will now automatically reset
to default settings.

(*1) FWH = Firm-Ware-Hub = Intel's designation for a Flash Memory
connected to the chipset via LPC bus.


Notes if CCA-LAMBADA or CCB-BOSSANOVA is installed on CD2-BEBOP:
----------------------------------------------------------------

a) Utility 'progfwh.exe' without any option (see P.BAT) always
   updates the FWH on CD2-BEBOP, regardless whether jumper J_FWH on
   CCA or CCB is set or not set. Jumper J_FWH on CCA or CCB only
   decides from which FWH the BIOS is loaded after a board reset:
   J_FWH NOT set -> BIOS is loaded from FWH on CD2-BEBOP
   J_FWH set     -> BIOS is loaded from FWH on CCA or CCB

   Above means, if you want to use the new BIOS after P.BAT has
   successfully finished, be sure that jumper J_FWH on CCA or CCB
   is NOT set before reboot.

b) If the BIOS update procedure failed for any reason (again, this
   is very unlikely), set jumper J_FWH ON CCA or CCB and reset the
   board. The board now tries to load an (old) BIOS from the FWH on
   CCA or CCB. If this is successful and DOS has been loaded, try
   once more to update the FWH on CD2-BEBOP, type
   *> P.BAT
   If finished successfully now, remove jumper J_FWH and reboot the
   board (from FWH on CD2-BEBOP).

c) How to program the FWH on CCA-LAMBADA or CCB-BOSSANOVA:

   First (optional) step: Check for both FWHs installed
   *> progfwh -i2

   Second step: Program the FWH on CCA or CCB
   Example here is a BIOS binary for CD2-BEBOP. This could be also
   any other data file. In that case at least one additional option
   for progfwh is necessary, see progfwh -? for more information.
   *> progfwh -f1 cd2bios.bin

d) Always use at least V5.2 of utility 'progfwh.exe' (Dec. 2004).
   Older versions have limited programming support to program a
   1MByte BIOS binary into a FWH. Additional information is
   available by typing 'progfwh -?'.
