BIOS Tool Changes
Business Desktops BIOS tools have been updated as a result of the system BIOS
transition from legacy to UEFI. The following table describes the changes from the
old legacy tools to the new UEFI tools.
Table 1. DOS-based tools
Legacy Tool UEFI Tool Description of UEFI tool
Flashbin.exe DOSFlash.exe
v1.14.00
DOS Flash utility designed to update the computer
system firmware (BIOS) from a DOS, FreeDOS, or
similar environment. The Windows command line is not
supported. This tool is not backwards-compatible and
will result in an error if run on legacy platform.
The DOSFlash utility requires a driver (FlshUefi.cpu)
specific to updating the system BIOS. Driver must be
present in the same directory. The Setup (BIOS Admin)
password is now provided in the command line as a
parameter when the DOSFlash utility is executed using
the /p option.
Flsh.cpu FlshUefi.cpu
v2.0
Hardware-specific driver required by DOSFlash.exe to
update/restore the BIOS. The driver is not backward
compatible and will result in an error if run on legacy
platform.
Assignpw.exe N/A This tool is no longer used in the UEFI BIOS toolset. The
Setup (BIOS Admin) password is now provided as a
parameter in the command line with new UEFI tools.
Flashi.exe
DOSFlash.exe
v1.14.00
DOSFlash tool allows replacing the standard HP logo
image with a custom image provided by the user on the
UEFI based platforms. Valid image files are JPEG or
uncompressed BMP (bitmap) images up to 1024x768
resolution. Maximum file size will be between 22KB and
32KB depending on system.
Repset.exe RepSetup.exe
v3.02
The Replicated Setup (REPSETUP.EXE) Utility is designed
to allow settings of systems with UEFI BIOS architecture
to be "replicated" throughout an enterprise.
Using REPSETUP.EXE to configure a Desktop system
requires a text file in UCS-2 format (UTF-16 Unicode
with fixed-width 16-bit characters), typically generated
by REPSETUP.EXE or similar method, which specifies the
BIOS settings and appropriate selection for each
feature. REPSETUP.EXE must be run from DOS or
FreeDOS, not Windows.
This tool is not backward compatible and will result an
error if attempted to be used on legacy platform. The
Setup (BIOS Admin) password is now provided in the
command line as a parameter when the REPSETUP.EXE
is executed using the /p option.
FWUpdLcl.exe FWUpdLcl.exe Intel DOS-based application to update the ME firmware.
Use version from respective ME Firmware update kit.
Backward compatibility defined by Intel.
