Updating or Restoring BIOS
Phoenix Phlash16 allows you to update or restore the BIOS with a newer version or restore a corrupt
BIOS by using a floppy disk without having to install a new ROM chip.
®
Get the Phoenix Phlash16 compressed file, CRDxMODB.ZIP, from the Kontron
Embedded Modules GmbH. It contains the following files:
File
Purpose
MAKEBOOT.EXE
Creates the custom boot sector on the Crisis Recovery Diskette.
CRISBOOT.BIN
Serves as the Crisis Recovery boot sector code.
MINIDOS.SYS
Allows the system to boot in Crisis Recovery Mode.
PHLASH16.EXE
Programs the Flash ROM.
WINCRISIS.EXE
Creates the Crisis Recovery Diskette from Windows.
WINCRISIS.HLP
Serves as the help file of WINCRISES.EXE.
BIOS.WHP
Serves as the actual BIOS image to be programmed into Flash ROM.
®
BIOS.WPH is a file that contains the 1MB BIOS binary and flash interface code
required by Phlash16.EXE.
®
To install Phoenix Phlash16 on a hard disk, unzip the content of CRDxMCAL.ZIP into a
local directory such as C:\PHLASH.
Note:
Crisis Recovery requires either a floppy disk connected to the LPT interface (external floppy drive_1) or an
USB floppy drive.
®
To create a Crisis Recovery Diskette, insert a blank diskette into Drive A: or B: and
execute WINCRISIS.EXE. This copies four files onto the Crisis Recovery Diskette.
File
Purpose
MINIDOS.SYS
Allows the system to boot in Crisis Recovery Mode.
PHLASH16.EXE
Programs the Flash ROM.
BIOS.WPH
Serves as the BIOS image to be programmed into Flash ROM.
®
If the BIOS image (BIOS.WPH) changes because of an update or bug fix, copy the new
BIOS.WPH image onto the diskette.
®
Phoenix Phlash16 runs in one of two modes: Command Line or Crisis Recovery. Use
the Command Line mode to update or replace a BIOS. To execute Phlash16 in this
mode, move to the Crisis Recovery Disk and type PHLASH16. Phoenix Phlash16 will
update the BIOS. Phlash16 can fail if the system uses memory managers. If this
occurs, the utility displays the following message:
Cannot flash when memory managers are present.
®
If you see this message after you execute Phlash16, disable the memory manager or
use parameter /x for Phlash16.exe.
