Serial Console Redirection
The pre-boot firmware supports redirection of both video and keyboard via a serial
port. When console redirection is enabled, the remote console terminal sends
keystrokes to the development board pre-boot firmware and the preboot firmware
redirects the video to the console terminal.
As an option, the development board can be operated without a keyboard or video
and can run entirely via the remote serial console. This includes accessing the pre-
boot firmware setup menu.
Console redirection ends when operating system boot up begins. After boot up begins,
the operating system is responsible for continuing the redirection.
Pre-boot firmware console redirection is text only. Graphical data, such as logos, are
not redirected.
Table 2
shows the default settings of the serial console redirection.

BIOS Security Features
The BIOS includes security features that restrict access to the BIOS Setup program
and who can boot the computer. A supervisor password and a user password can be
set for the BIOS Setup program and for booting the computer, with the following
restrictions:
•
The supervisor password gives unrestricted access to view and change all Setup
options in the BIOS Setup program. This is the supervisor mode.
•
The user password gives restricted access to view and change Setup options in the
BIOS Setup program. This is the user mode.
•
If only the supervisor password is set, pressing the <Enter> key at the password
prompt of the BIOS Setup program allows the user restricted access to Setup.
