Nuvoton Flash Update Tool Version 4.1.2
----------------------------------------
Copyright (C) 2009 Nuvoton Technology Corporation. All Rights Reserved.
Usage: flupdate [options] <binary file>
<binary file>
A file containing the data to program into flash, in binary format
Options:
-h Show program usage
-v Verbose operation - create a log file and also report explicit error messages
-shf The system uses shared flash (i.e., BIOS and EC FW are located on the same flash device).
-nshf The system does not use shared flash (i.e., only FW is on the EC flash).
Note that by default (i.e., -shf or -nshf are not
selected), the flash layout (i.e., whether the system
uses shared flash or not) is detected automatically.
-c <file name> Flash Configuration file name. By default, the tool looks for a configuration file named flupdate.cfg
-x <exit type> Select termination option:
0 = Normal Exit
1 = Reset EC
2 = Goto Boot Block (default)
-d <file name> Dump the flash data to the <file name> file before downloading/comparing the <binary file> data
-compare Compare the given binary file with the flash data.
In this mode, flash is not programmed. If this flag is provided in addition to the -ofs flag (see below), only the bytes starting from <offset> are compared
-bbl Ignore protected sectors
-noverify Do not verify flash contents after programming
-nocomp Program the flash without first comparing its contents to the binary file data.
(By default, the contents of each section are compared to the source file, and the section is programmed only if it is different)
-noreboot Do not ask the user to restart the computer after download finished
-nopause Start the download/compare without the user approval.
In addition, the application terminates automatically after downloading the binary file to the flash (without restart the computer)
-dislusb For DOS only: disable the Legacy USB SMI (only in Intel chipsets) during the flash update process
-cba <address> Set the Configuration Base Address of the device (in hex format); otherwise, try to locate the device at the following addresses (in this order): 0x164E, 0x2E, 0x4E
-novr Ignore BIOS model and version check
-vrd Verify the flash contents after programming using read command
-rfp Remove Flash Protection when the protection window registers are accessible (i.e., not locked)
-ofs <offset> Load the provided binary file to the flash starting at offset <offset> from flash start. <offset> must be
aligned with the start address of a flash sector. If this flag is provided in addition to the -compare flag,only the bytes starting from <offset> are compared
-pfu Enable FW to perform operations before the Flash Update process starts (Pre Flash Update)
-ocv Override Calibration Values in the flash with the values provided in the binary file
-genbsf <TSF name> Generate a Binary Script File (BSF) from a Text Script File (TSF). The BSF name is the same as the TSF, but with a different extension (*.bsf).
-runbsf <BSF name> Run the commands in the Binary Script FIle (BSF)
during the Flash Update process
-vm <value> For DOS only. This flag is used to change the default value of the video mode. It should be used only if there is a known graphic limitation in the system.
Supported values are 18 (the default mode, uses 16 colors), 17 (uses 2 colors) and 0 (text mode)
-s Silent mode (Windows only). This flag eliminates any user interaction and minimizes the visual effects
-bec Binary Exit Code. The default exit code upon failure is a non-zero value. This flag limits the non-zero value to 1. Thus, the exit code is binary (0 for success, 1 for failure).
