BIOS Console Commands
All typed commands sent to the BIOS Console will be echoed on the display. The BIOS Console
formats all output as 8-bit ASCII text. All input and output values are decimal except where
noted. Each command is terminated with an ASCII carriage return <CR>. Command
parameters are separated by ASCII spaces and as a result of this, spaces are not allowed when
typing command strings into the BIOS Console. The BIOS console will support double -quoting to
delimit strings that need spaces.
The BIOS console supports the following commands. Each command is described in detail in the
sections below.
