The PPC-100 system BIOS and custom drivers are located in a
128 Kbyte, 32-pin (JEDEC spec.) Flash ROM device, designated U15. A
single Flash chip holds the system BIOS, VGA BIOS, and network Boot
ROM image. The system BIOS can be configured via software. This
method minimizes the number of chips and eases configuration. You can
change the system BIOS simply by reprogramming the Flash chip.
The PPC-100 is supplied with a software utility disk. This disk contains
the necessary files for setting up the Ethernet controller. Directories and
files on the disk are as follows:
README.DOC
SSD
BIOS
COOKROM.EXE
A program that converts application files into binary files (files with a
.BIN) extension. These are then written into the SSD Flash ROM
devices.
4865_TFT.BIN
Supports 640 x 480 color TFT. The standard BIOS file without Ethernet
Boot ROM.
4865TSB.BIN (Default)
Supports 640 x 480 color TFT. The standard BIOS file with Ethernet
Boot ROM.
AWDFLASH.EXE
This program allows you to write the VGA display driver files to the
BIOS Flash ROM. The VGA files all come ready formatted for the PPC-
100 with .BIN extensions. See README.DOC. These files support
various CRT and flat panel displays. They are custom written and can be
made available upon request.
