BIOS Updates forum

I was able to use the BUPDATER.EXE utility in FreeDOS DOS operating system that comes with Ultimate Boot CD ( http://www.ultimatebootcd.com/ ) to attempt to crossflash the F1A75-MCM1740 EFI to retail F1A75-M EFI, but the flash utility failed to perform the flash, returning that the file flash file i...

http://vdhout.nl/20100210/ Unfortunately, this does not work. The firmware file is a 4 MB firmware file which does not fit on the emulated floppy image written to the disc ISO image. After booting to the burned disc, I am not able to change to another device, not even to the regular data portion of...

I was trying to boot to DOS to DOS using a flash drive which I wrote an image of Caldera Dr.-DOS to, but I was unable to boot to the flash device (though, I was able to boot to it from my other computers without issue). After examining the Asus F1A75-M manual regarding booting to DOS, it recommended...

Asus did not explicitly state the the DOS flasher was proffered. It spoke about the compatibility of firmware across their distribution channels and that how that information can be applied to determine firmware compatibility for the motherboard. The method to use the DOS flasher was not endorsed ov...

After communicating with Asus, it looks like the crossflash (from OEM to retail firmware) should be possible. Asus has the BUPDATER utility to flash under DOS. However it is not obvious what some of the parameters do. The utility may be found: http://dlcdnet.asus.com/pub/ASUS/misc/utils/Bupdater_V12...

I think flashing the official Asus update for this board will work better... http://support.asus.com/download.aspx?SLanguage=en&m=CM1740&os=8 That has the update for the EFI already on the motherboard (version 0901). The EFI 0901 has some major shortcomings (such as no interface to set RAM timings)...

The sticker information is "F1A75-MCM1740/DP_MB".

What OEM and what is the OEM model number? That way we can compare how much it differs and how the chance (if any) is you can use the retail efi firmware... The OEM motherboard is from the Asus OEM channel. The model number silk-screened onto the PCB is the same as the retail Asus F1A75-M motherboa...

I want to update the EFI system firmware of an OEM Asus F1A75-M motherboard.

Thank you edwin.

This topic is now SOLVED.

After flashing system BIOS of a desktop computer, the CMOS should usually be cleared. This often is done by removing the motherboard battery or using a jumpering Clear CMOS pins on the motherboard. With a notebook computer, clearing the CMOS seems more difficult due to access difficulties to the mot...

I am also interested in a modified recent version of the ECS Nettle2 BIOS.


The reference to modified v5.16 of the Nettle2 BIOS may be found in posts #7 and #8 of:

I have acquired a 6326 AGP graphics card different from the card referenced in the initial post to this thread and it has a socket for the EEPROM with the EEPROM chip in socket.

I flashed the controller card with SiL3512 BIOS and the operation was successful.
