UniFlash version 1.38 documentation ----------------------------------- (C) 2005 Rainbow Software (Ondrej Zary) Original version by Pascal Van Leeuwen and Galkowski Adam "Your program just saved the day for me! I tried to use AWDFLASH.exe to flash my new Shuttle HOT-603 v2.0(AMD640) with the new 603WWQ07.bin BIOS and it did! The only problem was that the BIN file wasn't complete. Evidently this destroyed the boot block too. I tried to restore the old BIOS to that EEPROM on a HOT-565(430TX) with all the other flash programs I could get my hands on to no avail. I was able to flash the HOT-603's EEPROM to 565WIQ0E.bin and it worked just fine on the HOT-565 so I knew the chip it's self was still good. I finally gave up and ordered a replacement chip this morning. This evening while surfing I saw a reference to you'r program on http://ping.be and downloaded it. With the 'Expert' mode I was able to properly flash the Winbond W29EE011-15 chip on the HOT-565 for the HOT-603." - Jack Freeman 0.0 DISCLAIMER ------------------------- THIS PROGRAM COMMUNICATES WITH THE CHIPSET AND FLASH ROM CHIP AT THE LOWEST HARDWARE LEVEL.

What the HELL is it ??!!! -------------------------------------------------------------- UniFlash is a flash program, used to write a new BIOS on your FLASH ROM Chip. What's new there? , you may ask, there are already programs like this on Internet made by BIG BRANDS like AMI, AWARD or MR. Well... there is only a little difference: COMPLETE, WORKING SOURCE CODE IN PASCAL IS GIVEN FOR FREE!! UniFlash is made to be universal - this can be useful when you're hot-flashing your bios in another motherboard. Another thing: this flasher is mainly destinated for fearless people and experienced users. If it's your first adventure with flashing your BIOS, we recommend you strongly using these brand flashers. You'll have to understand we are just experienced computer users/programmers and we haven't materially the possibility to test every routine and chips we haven't. That's the main reason we release it. We hope people may help us in debugging and testing routines. NOTE by PvL: Brand name flashers have a tendency to be unstable (this is especially true for AWDFLASH, which f*cked up my BIOS twice so far, leaving me no other choice than to hot-flash) so if you happen to be the lucky owner of one of the TESTED flash chips I can really recommend using UNIFLASH instead ... NOTE by Rainbow: AWDFLASH IS REALLY BAD. When I was flashing BIOS on Abit SA6R, the verify failed. I retried flashing about 20 times, then it succeeded. But motherboard died after reboot. Luckily, after powering down and back up, BootBlock BIOS worked and I was able to flash the BIOS correctly from there. 2.0 What hardware do I need for UniFlash ? ----------------------------------------------------- Here's the minimum configuration you need to run UniFlash: -At least a 386 (The whole thing works in flat real mode) -RAM at least 2 times bigger than Flash ROM size, but less than 2GB -MS DOS 4.0 and higher -Known Flash ROM chip (see section 3.0) -Supported chipset (see below) - note that all of them are PCI based or c't Flasher 8-bit ISA card ,----------------------------------------------------------------------------, | Don't forget to disable "Flash write protect" - either in system BIOS or | | using a jumper on the motherboard. | `----------------------------------------------------------------------------' Here's a list of chipsets suported by Uniflash: * means tested and functional, # means tested, but doesn't work the way it should unmarked chipsets are not tested ,----------------------------------------------------------------------------, | Mfg | Chipset(s) | Comments | `---------|----------------------|-------------------------------------------' Intel |*Triton 430FX | No comments It works in 99% of cases |*Triton II 430HX | |*Triton II 430VX | |*Triton III 430TX | |*Mobile 430MX | | Natoma 440FX | |*AGPSet 440LX/EX | | 450KX/GX | | Mecrucy 430LX | | Neptune 430NX | |*AGPSet 440BX/ZX | | AGPSet 440GX | |*i810 | i810 tested and works OK, others should too | i810E | | i810E2 | | i815(P/G) | |*i815E(P/G) | | i815EM | | i820 | | i820E | | i830M(P/G) | | i840 | | i845 | | i845E | | i845G(E/L/V)/845PE | | i845MP/MZ | | i850(E) | |*i852GM/855GM | | i855PM | | i860 | | i865P(E)/G(V)/848P | | i875P | | E7205 | | E7500 | | E7501 | | E7505 | |*i915G/P/925X | ----------|----------------------|-------------------------------------------- VIA | 486 with VT82C505 | 486 chipsets with VT82C505 PCI bridge | Appollo Master | | Apollo VP | |*Apollo VPX | |*Apollo VP2 | | Apollo VP3 | |*Apollo MVP3 | | Apollo P6 | | Apollo MVP4 | VIA chipsets are weird - some work, some |*Apollo Pro | don't. |*Apollo Pro Plus/133 | |*Apollo Pro 133A | If you have "Flash Write protect" in BIOS, | Apollo ProMedia | disable it and it should work. | Apollo Pro 133Z/PM133| | Apollo KX133 | |*Apollo KT133(A) | | ProSavage KM133(A) | |*Apollo KT266(A)/KT333| | Apollo KT400(A) | | Apollo Pro 266 | | Apollo Pro 266T | These North Bridges are detected, but | ProSavage P4M266 | aren't used in any VIA's chipset (??): |*P4X266(A)/P4X333/400 | VT8662, VT8615, VT8361, VT3133 ----------|----------------------|-------------------------------------------- AMD |*AMD 640 (same as VIA | Works just fine | Apollo VP2) | | AMD 750 | UniFlash supports true AMD chipsets since |#AMD 760 | version 1.20.

The version 1.16d+ includes support for AMI's Flash Interface. It allows you to flash even if you have an unknown chipset (new AMI WinBIOS is necessary to use this feature). Starting from version 1.24, you must force using this mode, if you want to use it by giving the -AMI parameter. This is neccessary because it often doesn't work and hangs, preventing users from making BIOS backup. 2.1 Support for specific boards ------------------------------------------ These boards use non-standard write protection using general purpose outputs (GPOs) of the chipset. They're detected by reading the BIOS ID string from the top of 4GB. This means that the correct BIOS MUST be present in the socket when starting UniFlash or the flashing will not work. 6A69RM4E = MicroStar MSI MS-6337 v3.0 (815EP Pro) 6A69RM4L = MicroStar MSI MS-6337 v5.0 (815EPT Pro, MS-6337LE5) 6A6S6A1A = Abit KG7(-Lite/-RAID) 6A69KA19 = Abit BF6, BE6-II v1.0 and v1.1 6A69KA1B = Abit BE6-II v1.2 6A69KA1C = Abit BE6-II v2.0 and BX133-RAID 6A6LMA19 = Abit KT7(-RAID), KT7A(-RAID), KT7E 6A6LMA1A = Abit KT7A(-RAID) v1.3 2.2 Tested PCI cards ------------------------------- * means tested and functional # means tested, but doesn't work Cards with no specific support in UniFlash: * Adaptec 19160/29160N (AIC-7892B chip) - Winbond W29EE512 * Adaptec 39160 # AdvanSys ASB-3940UA # ATI Rage Magnum AGP # Matrox Millennium PCI * SIIG SC-PE4612 IDE controller (HighPoint HPT366) - SST 39SF010 I need datasheets for the cards (chips) that do not work.

by UniFlash ? ----------------------------------------------------------- UniFlash supports the following flash chips: * means tested and functional, # means tested, but doesn't work the way it should, unmarked chips are not tested (note that a lot of chips are very similar to one another though, so if one of them works then the rest should work fine too)

notes ----------------------------------------- Some 12V Flash ROMs require 12V voltage not only to flash, but also to detect. If you're trying to flash 12V chip, first check that you have 12V on the VPP pin in the socket on motherboard. Flash write protect jumper usually removes 12V from this pin. When some parts of the chip are write protected, 12V on VPP/#RESET pin will usually allow these protected parts to be flashed (unless the chip has N in the name - e.g. MX29F002NT - this means that RESET pin is not connected). Be sure that Flash ROM is inserted the correct way in the socket (key on the chip must match with key on the socket) BEFORE powering up (if you're hot-flashing, double check chip orientation before inserting it into socket). Inserting it wrong way will DESTROY the chip - VCC will be swapped with GND and if there's 12V on the VPP pin, it will be connected to Q3 data pin... Flash ROM pinout (32-pin DIP): _____KEY_____ VPP -| \_/ |- VCC VPP = Programming voltage (12V) A16 -| |- #WE VCC = Operating voltage (5V) A15 -| |- A17 GND = Ground A12 -| |- A14 A0..A17 = Address input pins A7 -| |- A13 Q0..Q7 = Data input/output pins A6 -| |- A8 #WE = Write enable A5 -| |- A9 #OE = Output enable A4 -| |- A11 #CE = Chip enable A3 -| |- #OE (# means active low signal) A2 -| |- A10 A1 -| |- #CE Notes: A0 -| |- Q7 - some chips have #RESET instead of VPP Q0 -| |- Q6 - this is 256KB chip Q1 -| |- Q5 - 512KB chips have A18 instead of VPP Q2 -| |- Q4 - 128KB chips have NC instead of A17 GND -|_____________|- Q3 - 64KB chips have NC instead of A17 & A16 4.0 Help! I don't understand the sources !!! ------------------------------------------------------- If you have problems understanding something mail me (address at the end). Have a look also on the ADDCHIP.FAQ file. It explains how to add new chips plus some details. 5.0 ADVANCED submenu ------------------------------- There's ADVANCED submenu in UniFlash, which contains possibly dangerous functions. Since v1.33, flashing is done including bootblock by default. This is less dangerous that flashing a new BIOS and leaving incompatible bootblock from previous BIOS there. And more, the bootblock is not exactly defined anywhere - some BIOSes might use bigger bootblock than other, which can cause problems. 5.1 Making an emergency disk --------------------------------------- It is always nice to have an emergency disk handy in case something goes wrong. You see, most flash BIOS's incorporate something called a 'boot block' and UNIFLASH will not normally overwrite it so it remains intact. The boot block contains just enough code to boot up your computer with basic peripheral support to enable you to flash in a working BIOS in case something went wrong. To make an emergency disk one would do the following: -make a DOS (or Win95/Win98, NOT ANY OTHER) system disk using "format a: /S" -copy uniflash to that disk -copy a working bios image (preferably a backup that was made while the system was still a-ok) to the disk -make an AUTOEXEC.BAT containing: @UNIFLASH -E <name of BIOS image file> NOTE: Whatever you do, do *NOT* load HIMEM.SYS. The boot block lacks support routines that HIMEM.SYS requires, resulting in very nice crashes. And I know from experience ... !! In general, keep the boot disk as clean as possible, remove drvspace.bin and dblspace.bin. Make sure UNIFLASH and the BIOS image are on the disk as the boot block only supports the floppy drive, you won't be able to access any harddrive !! When you boot from this emergency disk the working BIOS image will automatically (without any intervention by you) be flashed into the flash ROM by UNIFLASH. This is very convenient as the boot block has no support for PCI or AGP video cards, so you won't be able to SEE anything in the process unless you replace your PCI videocard with an old ISA one (hint!). If you have motherboard with i815(E) chipset and you're using onboard video, it will probably not work in boot block mode (because graphics BIOS is stored in main Flash ROM chip) - try to put an AGP card in (there are no ISA slots). UNIFLASH will give you some audible feedback, though: first short beep: UNIFLASH invoked, reading BIOS image second short beep: done reading BIOS image, starting to flash chime sound: done flashing, reset your system long continuous beep: some error occured, press any key to retry operation 5.2 Command-line parameters -------------------------------------- UNIFLASH [-H|-?|[-PCIROM [BUS DEV FUN]|-AMI|-BASE xxxxx|CTFLASH [xxx]] [-E fname][-SAVE fname|-CHIPLIST|-FORCE xxxx][-REPAIR][-LOG][-MONO] [-CMOSS fname][-CMOSR fname][-CMOSC]][-QUIT][-REBOOT] -H or -? Shows this help screen -E fname Flashes fname to Flash ROM with no prompts -LOG Enables auto-logging to UNIFLASH.LOG -MONO Use if you have problems with colors on monochrome monitor -CTFLASH Flash ROM in c't Flasher 8-bit ISA card [xxx=port] -PCIROM Flash ROM on a PCI card instead of system ROM [BUS DEV FUN] Manually specify PCI device (decimal numbers) -AMI Use AMI Flash Interface -CHIPLIST Show list of supported flash chips with their numbers -FORCE xxxx Force using routines for chip xxxx (4 hex digits) -BASE xxxxx Set ROM Base to address xxxxx (at least 5 hex digits) -REPAIR Repair erased chip ID (Winbond and SST chips) -SAVE fname Write current bios image to file fname -CMOSS/R fname Save/restore CMOS settings to/from file fname -CMOSC Clears CMOS settings -QUIT Quits (e.g. UNIFLASH -SAVE BACKUP.BIN -QUIT) -REBOOT Reboot after flashing (use together with -E) Parameters are executed in the same order as they are entered on the command line - so you can use e.g. "uniflash -cmoss cmos.bak -cmosc" to save CMOS settings to file called cmos.bak and then clear the CMOS. Some parameters can't be used together - e.g. -AMI can't be used with -PCIROM. -E: Flashes BIOS image from file fname including bootblock without any user input -LOG: Enables logging of all important events into file UNIFLASH.LOG. Use this when you are sending bug reports and attach this file. -CTFLASH: Selects ROM on c't Flasher 8-bit ISA card. This card supports Flash ROMs up to 512KB. Port is autodetected or can be specified manually as optional parameter (hex 200-3FC). -PCIROM: Selects ROM on a PCI device instead of system ROM. Works only with some cards. You can optionally specify the device you want to use. (e.g. -PCIROM 0 3 1 = BUS 0, DEVICE 3, FUNCTION 1) -AMI: Uses interface supported by some AMI BIOSes instead of detecting the chipset and writing to chipset registers to disable write protection. (I haven't seen this working anywhere yet...) -CHIPLIST: Displays a list of supported chips with their IDs which are needed for use with -FORCE parameter. -FORCE: Disable Flash ROM autodetection and set chip type to the one specified by following ID (4 hex digits) - see -CHIPLIST parameter. -BASE: Set ROM base address manually and allow running without PCI bus. Useful for memory-mapped flash programming cards with old systems. -REPAIR: ID on some Winbond and SST chips can be changed which can cause the chip not being recognized by any software (including BIOS - AMI BIOS does not work in that chip, Award BIOS displays Unknown Flash Type). This option can change the ID on these chips. Because UniFlash does not know the correct ID, you must specify it using -FORCE parameter. -SAVE: Save current BIOS to file fname. -CMOSS: Save current CMOS settings to file fname. CMOS memory size is detected automatically. -CMOSR: Restore CMOS settings from file fname. CMOS memory size is detected automatically. -CMOSC: Clear CMOS memory. 6.0 How to support UniFlash? --------------------------------------- If you want to help me in adding support for new chips, in testing the whole thing or bugfixing, mail me, I'll put your name in credits at the end. I want your opinions & experiences to make flashing BIOS an easy and safe operation, where you doesn't need tons of flashers (if you multiply the number of chipsets by the number of Flash ROM memories available, you'll understand better what we're talking about). 7.0 Credits --------------------------------------- Ondrej Zary (Rainbow Software) - Continues to develop this program after the authors (below) stopped the development.

Untested. 1.19 -added support for Intel 8xx chipsets (Hub Architecture): i810, 810E, 810E2, 815, 815E(P), 815EM, 820, 820E, 840, 850 with these I/O controller hubs: 82801AA(ICH), 82801AB(ICH0), 82801BA(ICH2), 82801BAM(ICH2-M) (they're all not tested) -fixed ALi chipset detection -M1543 now support 512KB ROMs, but only some revisions of this chip can really support them (and according to ALi, there is no software way to detect that) 1.18 -I (Rainbow Software) am continuing the development of this program after it was abandoned for two years -added support for i440BX/ZX and i440GX chipsets -added support for ALi M1543 south bridge and ALi M1621 north bridge (ALi Aladdin Pro II chipset) -added some info about ASD chips into this DOC -added support for Intel 82802AB(4Mb)/AC(8Mb)Firmware Hubs -added support for Atmel AT49F002(N)T chip 1.17b -fixed a bug in the -FORCE option, should work now -still having trouble correctly detecting flash chips, we can use all the input we can get on which chips are and aren't correctly identified by UNIFLASH ! 1.17 -pre-1.20 release because of some important fixes, still working on some things we promised for 1.20, though -fixed flashing problems with Macronix & AMD chips -Integrated English & French version into one executable to avoid having to keep 2 versions synchronized -Cleaned up chipset detection -known bugs: chip detection still not 100% accurate (we're working on it, this will be fixed in v1.20) 1.16d -Added AMI Flash Interface support -Added the "Additional BIOS Info" option -Added the Macronix MXIC 28F1000PPC/12V chip (not officially released by Adam's request) 1.16c -Made the detection routine more accurate 1.16b -Removed some (debugging?) code that messed up detection 1.16 -Fixed a stupid bug in the chip detection part, which made it impossible to identify Atmel chips, for example. -Tried to add TI chips and after long hours of work and of downloading datasheets figured out that TI chips are just "remarked" AMD & Intel chips (the same Mfg & Id numbers), so TI chips will be recognised as AMD or Intel ones. -Made the source code clearer. Wrote a FAQ explaining how to add your own chips. -Added the Intel 28F010/12V and 28F020/12V chips -Translation of the whole thing to french. The english 1.16 version equals french 1.00FRENCH version 1.15 -Fixed problems with AMD flash chips -Added VIA 82C570 chipset support -Tested Intel 28F001BX-T/28F001BN-T support TO DO before final release of V1.15: fix extended memory detection, does not work ok on a friends' system ... 1.14 -Added Macronix support -Added SST 28EE011 flash chip -Added AMD Am28F010, Am28F010A, Am28F020, Am28F020A, Am28F256 Am28F256A, Am28F512 and Am28F512A flash chips -Removed valid PCI ROM check so it is possible to flash a ROM on a PCI card that does not (yet) contain a valid ROM -Added some safety stuff: -cache disabled during flashing (having the cache enabled seems to be a problem with some Cyrix chips (or chip/chipset combo's ?)) -interrupts now fully disabled during actual communication with the flash chip for increased reliability -added multiple flash chips/single ROM image support (experimental) 1.13 -Added Catalyst support -Added OPTi chipset support (for 82C750 'Vendetta') -Added Intel 28F400/28F004 flash chips -Completely rewrote PCI option ROM support (still experimental) 1.12 -Fixed problem ID-ing Intel chips (oops) -Made first attempt at supporting PCI option ROMS (experimental) 1.11 -Added Atmel support 1.1 -Fixed memory allocation bug with sectored (Intel,AMD) flash ROM chips -Added VIA chipset support 1.0 -First public release 9.1 KNOWN BUGS ------------------------- - Intel 28F004-T doesn't work - PCI Option ROM Flashing (-pcirom parameter) doesn't work on many cards - 256KB BIOSes don't work on some i430VX/HX boards (AWDFLASH works!) - Some VIA and AMD chipsets don't work - maybe because of non-standard flash write protection on some boards. - Garbage on screen instead of flashing - on Asus P5A board with Aladdin V and 256K Flash ROM, but it works OK on Micronics C200 (same chipset and 128K Flash ROM). On PC Partner VIB8x4DS board with VIA Apollo VPX, UniFlash flashes the SyncMOS F29C51002T chip OK but then hangs with garbage on screen. This problem appears to be associated with SyncMOS Flash ROMs only. - Many Abit boards do not work - looks like undocumented write protection 9.2 What's missing ----------------------------- - Boot Block on Winbond W29C020 can be flashed even if the Boot Block protection is enabled on the chip - AMIFLASH v8.15.02 can do it but UniFlash can't (I don't know how to do it) - Support for ServerWorks, UMC, new VIA and new SiS chipsets because datasheets are unavailable (these companies are simply ignoring e-mails) I can't do much with only "unofficial" info. - Support for some exotic Flash ROMs like Intel 82802AA 2mbit Firmware Hub or Bright BM29FS040 (no datasheets available) 10.0 Compatibility tests ---------------------------------- Here is a list of tested & working motherboards/Flash ROM chip combinations.

They use custom BIOS write protection and have soldered Flash ROM chips (often in TSOP package) - so there's nothing to hot-flash. They have recovery mode (activated by jumper) in case something goes wrong with the BIOS. 11.0 Beta testing stuff ---------------------------------- We would like to extend our thanx to the following people who've been very helpful with beta testing this program. NOTE: YOU can be on this list too! All you have to do is send information on a system where UNIFLASH doesn't work and help with getting it to work on that system. Please help us in making UNIFLASH the universal and reliable tool we had in mind when we started this project. Thanx in advance!

Marek Palka Peter Krauss Richard Guinness 12.0 Biz support --------------------------- We would like to thank the following people at the various flash ROM and chipset manufacturers for their support (in random order): Scotts Chen at Macronix International Co., Ltd. Darlene Browne at Acer Laboratories, Inc., (USA), Administrator Niel Smith, Application Engineering Manager, ALI USA Henry Ho at Macronix International Co., Ltd. Michael Solinas at Silicon Storage Technology, Inc. (SST), USA Phillip Chang at Megawin Technology Co., Ltd. Christopher Emerson and David Chu at Cypress Semiconductor Corp. Thanks goes to Intel - all datasheets are freely available on their web page upon release of new hardware. Guess why are Intel chipset the most compatible. The companies in the list below should take this as an example of developer support. I would like NOT to THANK TO following COMPANIES for providing NO SUPPORT for independent developers and NOT REPLYING TO E-MAILS: Silicon Integrated Systems (SiS) United Microelectronics Corporation (UMC) ServerWorks NVIDIA Corporation I finally got some real e-mail from VIA, but only bad news: "At this time, datasheets are only available to manufacturers under non disclosure agreement who have a genuine application they are developing. This policy is currently under review but at this time I cannot provide the datasheets to you." ============================== END OF DOCUMENT ===============================
