The customization features supported are described below:
6.3.1
OEM Default Settings
This feature allows system designers to create and store their own BIOS default configuration. Customized BIOS development by congatec for
OEM default settings is no longer necessary because customers can easily perform this configuration by themselves using the congatec system
utility CGUTIL. See congatec application note AN8_Create_OEM_Default_Map.pdf on the congatec website for details on how to add OEM
default settings to the congatec Embedded BIOS.
6.3.2
OEM Boot Logo
This feature allows system designers to replace the standard text output displayed during POST with their own BIOS boot logo. Customized
BIOS development by congatec for OEM Boot Logo is no longer necessary because customers can easily perform this configuration by
themselves using the congatec system utility CGUTIL. See congatec application note AN8_Create_And_Add_Bootlogo.pdf on the congatec
website for details on how to add OEM boot logo to the congatec Embedded BIOS.
6.3.3
OEM POST Logo
This feature allows system designers to replace the congatec POST logo displayed in the upper left corner of the screen during BIOS POST
with their own BIOS POST logo. Use the congatec system utility CGUTIL 1.5.4 or later to replace/add the OEM POST logo.
6.3.4
OEM BIOS Code/Data
With the congatec embedded BIOS, it is possible for system designers to add their own code to the BIOS POST process. The congatec
Embedded BIOS first calls the OEM code before handing over control to the OS loader.
Except for custom specific code, this feature can also be used to support Win XP SLP installation, Window 7 SLIC table (OA2.0), Windows 8 OEM
activation (OA3.0), verb tables for HDA codecs, PCI/PCIe opROMs, bootloaders, rare graphic modes and Super I/O controller initialization.
Note
The OEM BIOS code of the new UEFI based firmware is only called when the CSM (Compatibility Support Module) is enabled in the BIOS
setup menu. Contact congatec technical support for more information on how to add OEM code.
