Updating the BIOS

OEMs often use BIOS updates to correct platform issues discovered after the board has been shipped or when new features are added to the
BIOS. The conga-IA5 uses a congatec/AMI AptioEFI firmware, which is stored in an onboard flash ROM chip and can be updated using the
congatec System Utility. The utility has four versions—DOS based command line, Win32 command line, Win32 GUI, and Linux version.
For more information about "Updating the BIOS" refer to the user's guide for the congatec System Utility "CGUTLm1x.pdf" on the congatec
website at www.congatec.com.
