21.8.1 Flashing a BIOS
Use the following procedure to update or restore a BIOS.
1. Download the Phoenix Phlash compressed file, CRISPGX1.ZIP, from the Kontron
Embedded Modules Web site. It contains the following files:
File
MAKEBOOT.EXE
CRISBOOT.BIN
MINIDOS.SYS
PHLASH.EXE
WINCRISIS.EXE
WINCRISIS.HLP
PLATFORM.BIN
BIOS.ROM
2. Install Phoenix Phlash on a hard disk by unzipping the content of CRISPGX1.ZIP
into a local directory such as C:\PHLASH.
3. Create a Crisis Recovery Diskette by inserting a blank diskette into Drive A: or B:
and execute WINCRISIS.EXE. This copies four files onto the diskette.
File
MINIDOS.SYS
PHLASH.EXE
PLATFORM.BIN
BIOS.ROM
4. If the BIOS image (BIOS.ROM) changes due to an update or bug fix, copy the new
BIOS.ROM image (PGX1R119.ROM) onto the diskette.
Phoenix Phlash runs in one of two modes:
! Command line mode
! Crisis recovery mode
5. Use the command line mode to update or replace a BIOS. To execute Phlash in this
mode, move to the Crisis Recovery Disk and type:
PHLASH PGX1R110.ROM
Phoenix Phlash will update the BIOS. Phlash can fail if the system uses memory
managers. If this occurs, the utility displays the following message:
Cannot flash when memory managers are present.
If you have a high-memory manager present, type:
PHLASH/X PGX1R110.ROM
