The BIOS Flash utility allows customers to update the
flash ROM BIOS version or use it to back up the current
BIOS by copying it from the flash chip to a file on the cus-
tomer's disk. The BIOS Flash utility also provides a com-
mand line version and an API for fast implementation into
customized applications.
The embedded application is the most important property
of a system integrator. It contains valuable intellectual
property, design knowledge, and innovation, but this
makes it vulnerable! The Embedded Security ID utility pro-
vides reliable security functions for customers to secure
their application data within the embedded BIOS.
Monitoring is a utility for customers to monitor system
health parameters such as voltage, CPU and system tem-
perature, and fan speed. These items are important to a
device. If critical errors occur and are not solved immedi-
ately, permanent damage may be caused.
