BIOS Socket
There are several packaging options for the integrated video BIOS. If contained in a Flash
EEPROM, the BIOS is soldered directly to the board and cannot removed and changed without
appropriate desoldering equipment. Provided as an alternate footprint, a DIP-32 socket allows
for inserting of an EPROM (either 28 or 32-pin Jedec style, e.g. 27C010). When using a 28-pin
EEPROM, the most left positions of the socket must remain free (pin 1 orientation of the socket
and the EPROM is marked by a notch).
This manual does not provide information about the BIOS firmware itself. Latest releases of the
firmware can be downloaded from the EKF website at http://www.ekf.de/c/cgxa/cv1/cv1.html.
You would have to use an ordinary programmer (e.g. Data I/O) in order to program the BIOS
binary image into the EPROM or Flash EEPROM.
