Instructions to Flash BIOS to SPI

The development board requires a two-partition SPI image for SPI-0 and SPI-1
respectively. The Descriptors sit on SPI-0 while the BIOS on SPI-1.
1. Remove all the power supplies to the board.
2. Connect the Dedi-Prog SF100 at J8E1.
3. Set jumpers J8C4 and J8C5 at 1-2.
4. Set jumper J8D1 at 1-2 for SPI-0 and flash the .bin image corresponding to
SPI-0.
5. Set the jumper J8D1 at 2-3 for SPI-1 and flash the .bin image corresponding
to SPI-1.
6. Once the programming is successful on the SPI, set J8C4, J8C5 and J8D1 at
1-X
7. Remove the Dedi-Prog connector.

H8 Programming

The microcontroller firmware for system management/keyboard/mouse control can be
upgraded in two ways. The user can either use a special DOS* utility (in-circuit) or
use an external computer connected (remote) to the system via the serial port on the
board.
• If the user chooses to use an external computer connected to the system via the
serial port, there are three jumpers that must first be set correctly. Please refer to
Table 20
