15.3 UBIOS - BATCH MODE
While files can be manually selected using the Interactive Mode, Flash BIOS Update or Copy
can be achieved through Batch Mode. The command line format is as follows:
UBIOS -B [operation] [filetype] [filename] [options]
[operation] is the Flash BIOS operation you wish to perform, and can be replaced
with one of two letters:
[filetype] is the file type of the BIOS file to program (with an update operation)
or to create (with a copy operation), and can be replaced with one of
the following:
ALL
VGA
TEKNOR
MAIN
[filename] is the name of the BIOS file to program (with an update operation) or to
create (with a copy operation), and can be replaced with the filename
which corresponds to the file type. For example, if "VGA" was listed as
file type, then the filename could be "FLAT.BFP".
[options] these are optional parameters that may be added:
/C
/R
/VT
To get a summary of the Batch Mode options from UBIOS, simply call UBIOS with the
command line '?'. The command will display a Batch options summary of valid UBIOS
command lines. The same help information will also be displayed each time UBIOS detects
an error in the command line.
U
for Update, or
C
for Copy.
for All BIOS files in a single file with the .BIN extension,
for VGA BIOS file with the .VGA extension,
For TEKNOR's BIOS extension with the .EXT extension,

main BIOS (AWARD), however this is not recommended
since the CMOS Setup should be updated when the main
BIOS is changed.
