Hi,
What BIOS modules, or code should be required to let an AMIBIOS 7 (core date: 04/02/01 - CR:2003) based BIOS display an animated picture during POST (e.g. a GIF file or programmed POST progress bar)?
The default module ID's for a few kinds of logo's are:
ID: Module Name: Module Function:
0E; OEM Logo; Silent boot data (still image), default ID for AMIBIOS 8(core date:10/01/01)
31h; EPA/OEM Logo; EPA logo (standard graphic logo in POST screen).
32h; Image Display Code; Silent boot code (still image)
33h; Full Screen Logo; Silent boot data (still image)
34h; Action Logo Code; Silent boot code (animated image)
35h; Action Logo Data; Silent boot data (animated image)
39h; Small Graphic Logo; Additional graphic logo in POST screen
I've tried just an image display code an supported picture at ID 34h/35h but it didn't work. The BIOS just checks the module at ID 32h and then determines to enable the full screen logo (ID 33h) or not. Thus this animated boot screen feature should be enabled/activated somewhere else. I know it's supported by AMIBIOS7 since it was one of the core features listed in the AMIBIOS7 whitepaper.
Thank you.
Activate the animated boot screen feature in AMIBIOS 7.
I know that FIC VB-609 boards that are in HP Vectra VE6 systems have AMI BIOS with animated HP logo - http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/Te ... wEnvOID=54
