BIOS/UEFI Utilities for Aptio® and AMIBIOS

Custom UEFI and BIOS utilities for Aptio and AMIBIOS simplify the development and debug experience. AMI’s Aptio firmware offers an easy transition to the Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) specification, giving developers all the advantages of UEFI – modularity, portability, C-based coding – while retaining easy-to-use tools that facilitate manufacturing and enhance productivity. AMI’s rich set of utilities for BIOS ROM image customization without rebuilding the firmware provide a clear advantage in reducing both time and cost.

AMI Firmware Update (AFU)

AMI Firmware Update (AFU) is a scriptable command-line utility for DOS, Microsoft Windows®, Linux, FreeBSD and the UEFI shell. Utilized for factory or field BIOS updates, AFU is flexible enough to update the entire Flash part or only a portion. It programs the main BIOS image, boot block or OEM configurable ROM regions.

AMI BIOS Configuration Program (AMIBCP)

The AMI BIOS Configuration Program (AMIBCP) for Aptio enables customers to modify parameters in a BIOS ROM without rebuilding from source. Developers can modify default values for BIOS setup parameters, modify default boot order in BIOS setup, view and edit sign-on and setup strings, and edit SMBIOS string data.

AMI Setup Control Environment (AMISCE)

AMISCE is a command-line tool that provides an easy way to update NVRAM variables, extract variables directly from the BIOS, change settings using either a text editor or a setup program and update the BIOS. AMISCE produces a script file that lists all setup questions on the system being modified by AMISCE. The user can then modify the script file and use it as input to change the current NVRAM setup variables.

AMI Setup Data Extraction (AMISDE)

AMISDE is a command-line tool for exporting setup data from an Aptio ROM image, including spreadsheet applications such as Microsoft Excel®. It generates a helpful summary report of BIOS setup parameters and default values that enhances productivity in testing and manufacturing.

AMISLP

AMISLP allows the insertion of Microsoft System Locked Pre-Installation (SLP) key files into the BIOS image. SLP keys are used for OEM activation of Microsoft Windows® 7 and Vista®. For Windows® 8.1 and Windows® 10, the OEM Activation 3.0 eModule is used in conjunction with AFU v2.35 or greater.

Change Logo

Change Logo allows developers to easily change logos displayed by Aptio at boot. The full screen “splash” logo and small logos appearing on the main screen during POST can be replaced with custom logos. Change Logo also allows logos to be extracted from existing Aptio ROM files.

AMI Utility Configuration Program (AMIUCP)

AMIUCP is a utility that is used to pre-configure the Aptio Flash Utility (AFU). Users can insert and exchange the default command string and ROM image used in AFU to create a customized version of the utility. AMIUCP supports AFU v2.35 or AFUWINGUI v1.12 or later.

Desktop Management Interface Edit (DMIEdit)

DMIEdit is a scriptable command-line utility for DOS, Microsoft Windows®, Linux and the UEFI shell. The Desktop Management Interface Editor for Aptio enables developers to modify strings associated with platform SMBIOS tables (System, Base Board, Chassis, OEM string, etc). In manufacturing, use DMIEdit to embed platform serial numbers, UUID and license keys into the SMBIOS table, which identifies platforms to management software.

Module Management Tool (MMTool)

Aptio’s Module Management Tool (MMTool) allows developers to manage firmware file modules contained within an Aptio firmware ROM image. Use MMTool to extract, replace and insert binary components such as modules, Option ROMs, microcode patches and ROM holes using its graphical or command line interface. With MMTool, developers can also create reports on the contents of an opened ROM image.

AMI UEFI ROM Dissect Tool (AMIRDT)

The AMIRDT utility makes it easy for developers to dissect a UEFI ROM and produce related reports on ROM status and size. This powerful tool can dissect ROMs down to section level, dissect NVRAM Variables, compare two ROMs and search the GUIDs of a given FFS to provide a summary of their sizes from ROM.
