Migration from version 4.x to version 5.0

vcustw64 -oa3 -oemid=Name -tableid=Name -oadata=file (64 Bit)
OEMID and TableID are both OEM specific. OAData is the payload file received from Microsoft.
Entering the full directory path to the payload file is necessary.
Full syntax options are available by entering “vcustw help” or “vcustw64 help” from the same file-path.
Note that the command line syntax changed from ITK 4.0, so any automated scripts will need to be
adjusted accordingly.
BIOS Splash Intel Logo
• ITK 4.0 allows the Intel logo to be placed in one of the screen’s corners, with a choice between a
black or white background.
• ITK 5.0 allows the Intel logo to be placed in a white or blue banner in one of the screen’s corners.
BIOS Splash Image Management
• ITK 4.0 requires that the resolution of an image for the splash logo be less than 1024x768 and for
the image file to not exceed a set file size for ITK to take the image.
• ITK 5.0 will take any size and resolution image and crop the image to the selected resolution as
well as lower the file size for flash space restrictions.
Direct System Viewing and Customization
• ITK 4.0 requires that an.INI file be created before editing can begin.
• ITK 5.0 allows the ability to directly view and customize the settings of the current BIOS on a
system without the need of external files or processes.
Hardware Slot Based Boot Order Manipulation
• ITK 4.0 gives access to standard BIOS boot order settings, signifying which current devices take
priority.
• ITK 5.0 allows BIOS boot order to be set by specific hardware slots, such as SATA 0, SATA 1,
etc. Systems with multiple devices of the same type can be set up with greater precision.
• The boot order set by specific hardware slots takes precedence over the standard BIOS options.
Improved BIOS Security
• ITK 5.0 interacts with the BIOS in a way that closes some existing security loopholes. This is in
combination with a more secure BIOS update process and new BIOS security options.
Unattended BIOS Configuration and Boot Counter
Unattended BIOS Configuration and associated Boot Counters are features of updated BIOS, which
determine how ITK 5.0 can interact with a system. This is available as a BIOS setting. The options for
Unattended BIOS Configuration are:
Always Prompt (Default): A user must physically accept any BIOS changes made through ITK in
order for them to take effect.
Lock: The system can only be updated using a stock Intel BIOS version that has not been
modified by ITK.
