AMIBIOS Flash Instructions for Endeavor Plus and Aviant Series SBC's with 
Flash ROM Support.  
  
It is recommended that you record your current BIOS configuration prior to 
performing a BIOS reflash.  

All settings will be lost as a result of the reflash procedure. 

To upgrade the system BIOS, perform the following procedures: 

1. Obtain the AMI ROM file and Flash8XX.exe flash utility and copy it to a DOS  
formatted floppy.
 
2. If your computer is running Windows NT, Windows 2000 or any of the UNIX 
varieties, you must shut down your O/S and boot your system to DOS.  If your computer is running 
DOS/Win3.X or Win95/98 you need only exit to a DOS prompt.
 
3. Place the floppy disk containing the ROM file and flash utility in the A: drive.
 
4. At the A: drive DOS prompt run the DIR command and write down the name of the  
ROM file (e.g. xxxx_xx.rom).
 
5. At the A: drive DOS prompt type: Flash822 <enter> this will launch the AMI flash 
utility. 

6. Once the graphical interface is loaded, press ALT+F (for FILE command).  This 
will highlight a text field on the left side of the graphical interface.
 
7. Type the path and name of the ROM file you wish to load (e.g. A:\xxxx_xxx.rom) 
and press <enter>.
 
8. This will start the reflash.  You will be prompted to confirm your desire to reflash 
the BIOS.
 
9. Once the reflash is completed, you will need to reboot the system.  Once the 
reboot starts, you can confirm the success of the reflash by verifying that the BIOS banner (located at 
the top of the screen when video comes up) indicates the file name you entered in the flash utility.
 
10. Enter BIOS SETUP and configure.
 
11. Save BIOS settings and exit.  Your system will reboot and should come up 
normally.
