"Utilities to work with Aptio:
Aptio is AMI's next-generation BIOS firmware based on the UEFI Specifications and the Intel® Platform Innovation Framework for EFI. Aptio is specifically designed to address firmware portability and extensibility to future platforms.
Along with silicon enabling components, Aptio can be expanded using a variety of drivers, development tools, support utilities and pre-boot application solutions:
Aptio Development Applications:
Visual eBIOS (VeB)
AMI Debug for UEFI
Aptio Support Utilities:
AMI Flash Utility (AFU) Suite
Change Logo Utility - OEM splash logo management
AMI BIOS Configuration Program (AMIBCP) - Change setup paramaters and strings in Aptio ROM images
MMTool - Manage modules, drivers and Option ROMs in Aptio ROM images
DMIEdit - SMBIOS data management
AMISDE - Command line tool for exporting setup date from an Aptio ROM image
AMISLP - Enables the insertion of Microsoft System Locked Pre-Installation (SLP) key files into the BIOS image
AMISCE - Command line tool for simple update of NVRAM variables
AMIUCP - Tool for customization and pre-configuration of Aptio Flash Utility (AFU)
Aptio Features:
AMI Text Setup Environment (TSE), advanced UEFI functionality with a familiar BIOS interface
Compatibility Support Module (CSM), providing legacy BIOS compatibility based on AMIBIOS8
AMI PreBoot Application (PBA) environment, allowing OEM/ODM to store and execute pre-boot applications in a protected hidden partition
This is a list of most Aptio Utilities:
Aptio® Utilities
AMI’s Aptio® firmware offers an easy transition to the new Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI)
model. With Aptio, OEMs have all the advantages of UEFI - modularity, portability, C-based coding - while
retaining easy-to-use tools that facilitate manufacturing and enhance productivity. Aptio offers a rich
set of utilities for customizing the BIOS ROM image without rebuilding the firmware, a true advantage in
terms of 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 offers several flashing options:
AMI Flash Utility (AFU) is a command line utility for DOS, FreeBSD, Linux and Windows command prompt
Winflash is a GUI Utility for Windows
***For a how-to & more information on the available flashing utilities, check out the "BIOS update guide for ASUS notebooks"
ChangeLogo
ChangeLogo allows developers to easily change logos displayed by Aptio at boot, via the GUI
or CLI. The fullscreen “splash” logo and small logos appearing on the main screen during POST
can be replaced with custom logos. ChangeLogo also allows logos to be extracted from existing
Aptio ROM files.
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 customers to modify
strings associated with platform SMBIOS tables (System, Base Board, Chasis, 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.
MMTool
Aptio’s Module Management Tool (MMTool) allows developers to manipulate Option ROMs and
the UEFI DXE drivers embedded in an Aptio ROM image. Use MMTool to extract, replace and insert
these binary components using a graphical or command line interface.
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. AMIBCP also features multi-language string support for added utility.
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®.
AMISCE
AMISCE is a command line tool which provides an easy way to update NVRAM variables. Extract
variables directly from the BIOS with AMISCE, and change settings using either a text editor or
a setup program, and then update the BIOS. AMISCE produces a script file that lists all setup
questions on the system where AMISCE is running. The user can then modify the script file and use
it as input to change the current NVRAM setup variables.
AMIUCP
AMIUCP is used to pre-configure the Aptio Flash Utility (AFU). Insert and exchange the default
command string and ROM image used in AFU to create a customized version of the utility.
AMIDiag for UEFI
AMI offers the only PC hardware diagnostic solution for the Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI). AMIDiag for UEFI operates independently from the operating system, offering great advantages to AMI customers.
The only diagnostic product designed for UEFI
No dependency on legacy BIOS
Available for IA32 and x64 UEFI environments
For today’s UEFI systems & next-generation products
Builds on a long history of AMIDiag products
Tests leverage the original AMIDiag products
Designed by a pioneer in UEFI firmware
AMI has shipped Aptio UEFI firmware for years
Tested against multiple UEFI implementations
AMIDiag for UEFI is available only to OEM/ODM customers. For more information, please contact a software sales associate.
AMI Provisioning
AMI Provisioning™ integrates firmware configuration, firmware update, hardware diagnostics and pre-OS applications in a Unified EFI (UEFI) environment. When combined with Aptio® UEFI firmware and AMIDiag™ for UEFI diagnostics, AMI Provisioning greatly simplifies system maintenance and configuration.
Embed Utilities With The System — Replaces the "recovery DVD" with an always available pre-boot management tool. AMI Provisioning can be executed from the BIOS flash ROM, NAND flash, on-board USB devices, protected hard disk partitions and OEM proprietary storage.
Power Pre-Boot GUI — Move away from text-based applications to an intuitive graphical interface. AMI Provisioning presents a consistent interface to the user, with OEM branding via customizable themes.
OS-Independent Firmware Updates — Executing BIOS and firmware updates in pre-boot eliminates OS compatibility issues, and allows customers to recover in situations where the OS cannot boot.
Simplify Pre-OS Configuration — Provide a GUI alternative to the text based "legacy BIOS" setup menu, taking advantage of UEFI standards.
Integrated Diagnostics — Make system diagnostics readily available to the user. AMIDiag for UEFI integrates into the AMI Provisioning solution, enabling full system tests even when the OS is not functional. Avoid the cost of system returns due to trivial issues.
Standards Based — AMI Provisioning is built on the industry-backed UEFI specification, simplifying usage across multiple platforms and market segments. Users experience a consistent management interface on AMI’s Aptio solution or other UEFI implementations.
Easily Extensible — Create a framework for integrating new applications that leverage the same GUI and customized OEM themes.
Key Features of AMI Provisioning:
UEFI 2.x (IA32 & X64)
Customized look & feel
Multilanguage support
Context Sensitive Help
Network support
(CIFS / NFS / FTP / HTTP)
Verify digital signatures to avoid using "tampered" updates
Firmware Update
Update all firmware components
Update from file, network share, HTTP or FTP
Verify authenticity and of firmware images
I found some AMI Aptio tools right here, BUT we still need to find some of the most recent versions of these utilities..."
