Using the Generated EFI Configuration
Use Intel® EMGD CED to configure and build an EFI video driver for your platform, as described in Entering EFI Options and then follow the instructions below to install the driver.
1. After building the EFI driver, copy the appropriate module to your working directory where you keep your Aptio MMTOOL and EFI BIOS that needs to be updated.
The file is typically called IEGD.DXE and is found in the IEGD ZIP file in the installations folder under EFI.
2. Make a working copy of your EFI BIOS image.
For example, copy CBCHAxxx.ROM
to CBCHAxxx_IEGD_EFI.ROM
where xxx = the release version of
Standard BIOS
Copy CBFBAxxx.ROM to CBFBAxxx_IEGD_EFI.ROM
where xxx = the release version of
Fast Boot BIOS)
3. Start the MMTOOL in GUI mode.
4. Load the EFI BIOS image using the Load Image button.
After it loads you will be presented with a list of existing modules.
5. Select CBCHAxxx_IEGD_EFI.ROM or CBFBAxxx_IEGD_EFI.ROM (from step 2.)
6. If it exists, delete any legacy VBIOS by highlighting the old video solution, select the DELETE tab at the top, and then press the DELETE button.
Note: The
EFI Fast Boot images typically do NOT contain a video module.
For example, for CBCHAxxx.ROM you will see
a CSMVIDEO module. This is the Compatibility Software Module for a legacy
VBIOS.
7. If it exists, delete any old versions of the Intel® EMGD EFI Fast Boot Video Driver. Look for an unnamed module with a GUID that starts with “2B13E5F0-” or with a module name that includes “IEGD”. If it exists, select the DELETE tab, highlight the module and then click the DELETE button.
8. Insert the new video module by clicking on the INSERT tab, specifying the module file name, and then clicking the INSERT button. You may browse to locate the file, for example, iegd.dxe.)
9. Save image by clicking the Save Image button and then close the dialog box.
10. Flash the image into your flash chip and install it on the board. You can either use the hardware flash programmer or the Aptio AFUDOS tool for this purpose.
