Flash Memory Writer
You can upgrade the BIOS of your mainboard by using a Flash
Memory Writer (FMW) utility. This utility can be downloaded from
TYAN’s BBS and from the TYAN website. The system BIOS is stored
on a flash EPROM ROM chip on the mainboard which can be erased
and reprogrammed by the FMW.
The following three files make up the FMW:
AWDFLASH.EXE
-The Flash Memory Writer utility for
Award to Award upgrade.
README
-A text file of instructions.
TXAWDXXX.BIN
-This file contains the new BIOS
information. XXX is our stand-in for
the BIOS version number.
The Flash memory writer records (or “programs”) a new BIOS onto
the flash memory chip. You cannot upgrade an Award BIOS to an AMI
BIOS or an AMI BIOS to an Award BIOS.
