Firmware Installation (Soldered Spi Flash) - Intel S1200RP Getting Started

1. Download the development kit firmware images, firmware update tool, and user
documentation from
2. Download and install the DediProg software on the host PC.
3. Remove the SPI memory device from the motherboard SPI socket. The SPI device
is located near the SAS_MOD slot at the front of the motherboard.
4. Insert the SPI device into the SPI programmer's 8-pin socket adapter.
5. Use the DediProg Engineering utility to create a backup copy of the SPI device.
6. Erase the existing firmware from the SPI device.
7. Write one of the development kit firmware images to the SPI device
(SDV_RP_B6_release.rom,
8. Remove the SPI flash device from the DediProg SPI socket and reinstall it in the
SPI socket.
9. Reassemble the target PC.
Note:
cycle to complete before entering the UEFI Shell.
10. After the platform resets, verify that the firmware functions correctly by entering
setup and booting to the UEFI shell.
Once a firmware update is verified, the Intel® Server Board S1200RP UEFI
Development Kit is ready for use in UEFI development.
Detailed steps for this procedure are explained in the Intel® Server Board S1200RP
UEFI Development Kit Firmware Installation Guide.

Firmware Installation (Soldered SPI Flash)

The firmware installation procedure requires a hardware-based SPI flash programmer
clip adapter for the 8-pin SPI device and does not work with a socketed SPI part. Use
the instructions in Section 2.4 for motherboards with socketed SPI flash devices.
General steps for a complete firmware installation are:
11. Download the development kit firmware images, firmware update tool, and user
documentation from
12. Download and install the DediProg software on the host PC.
13. Attach the DediProg S08 test clip to the SPI device.
14. Power on the target PC and boot to the UEFI Shell.
15. Power off the target PC using the power button (hold for four seconds until the
processor fan stops). The PC power supply should still be on (motherboard's blue
and green LEDs are on) but the system is not on.
16. Start the DediProg Engineering utility, which will detect the SPI device.
Note:
SPI device for reliable detection and programming. If the SPI device is not
detected, check the position of the test clip and retry.
