Only the following combination of command line arguments has been tested and should be used for the
update process. The syntax of the DOS update tool is:
AFUDOS <Bios filename> /X /P /B /N
/X = do not check ROM ID
/P = program main Bios image
/B = program boot block
/N = overwrite NVRAM (setup settings)
2.2 KTA55UPD (Kontron)
This program is a EFI tool and works only in a EFI environment. You can use a FAT16/FAT32 formatted
device (e.g. a USB key). Copy the update tool and the Bios to the root directory. Then boot the KTA55 board
and press the
F7 key during the boot process (calls the boot menu). Choose the entry ' UEFI: Built-in EFI
Shell ' and press Enter. After the Shell is active type ' fs0: ' and press Enter if you use a USB key - for other
boot devices this identifier can be different. Now you can use KTA55UPD.EFI with the following syntax:
KTA55UPD <Bios filename>
