Updating or Restoring BIOS
If your MOPS/386A board requires a newer BIOS version or the BIOS is damaged, you may
need to update or restore the BIOS.
Phoenix PHLASH 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.
1)
Download Phoenix Phlash as a compressed file, CRD1P389.ZIP, from the
Kontron Web site. 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.
PHLASH.EXE
Programs the Flash ROM.
WINCRISIS.EXE
Creates the Crisis Recovery Diskette from Windows.
WINCRISIS.HLP
Serves as the help file of WINCRISES.EXE.
PLATFORM.BIN
Performs platform-dependent functions.
BIOS.ROM
Serves as the actual BIOS image to be programmed
into Flash ROM.
2)
To install Phoenix Phlash on a hard disk, unzip the content of CRD1P389.ZIP
into a local directory such as C:\PHLASH.
3)
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.
PHLASH.EXE
Programs the Flash ROM.
PLATFORM.BIN
Performs platform-dependent functions.
BIOS.ROM
Serves as the BIOS image to be programmed into Flash
ROM.
4)
If the BIOS image (BIOS.ROM) changes because of an update or bug fix, copy
the new BIOS.ROM image onto the diskette.
5)
Phlash 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 Phlash, disable the memory manager.
