BIOS Updates forum

AFAIK, uniflash works under realmode right ? I've used award's winflash for quite sometime which is running from within protected mode windows. I'm planning to built a ROM flashing tool from Protected Mode too, but running from Linux (or is there already available ), I need some info on what I need to learn to do this ? my main concern is about expansion ROM flasher like the uniflash -PCIOR . Thx

Maybe you will find some useful information here.

Doesn't UF use "flat-realmode" (aka "UnRealmode")? I must have read it somewhere.
Porting it to PM wouldn't be such a hassle then, since memor access would be quite similar. You'd just have to go thru all realmode interrupt calls and create RM callbacks for them...

Yes, that's true.
The flat real mode is easy to use (once someone else programmed all the basic things )
