I had setup this little PC (that has been sitting on a drawer for years, due to faulty nVME, that I replaced) to make it a low power webserver (with my own custom code), and it was perfect for that. Hello, thank you very much for your prompt reply, it's much appreciated and I didn't even put many hopes in it to the honest. *Is there any magic key combination that I can use to access the rest of the settings that are not showing but set as "Show"=Yes, "Access/Use"="Default" in the fw?ĪM01_102A_720.bin (Size: 8 MB / Downloads: 15) *Would anyone be able to take a look at the file and let me know why I am not able to access these options? "Wake On Lan" - 0x0515 (Displayed, set Disabled by default)įrom that, I understand that the option should be available to me in the EFI UI, but when I look on the PC, everything from "South Cluster Configuration" and down is hidden. "Miscellaneous Configuration" - 0x0685 (Displayed, Access/Use= "Default") -> "South Cluster Configuration" - 0x05CC (Displayed, Access/Use= "Default") -> "Chipset" - 0x002D (Displayed, Access/Use= "Default") -> There is a so-called "Linux-unlocked" EFI formware for this pc (attached), that I have installed on my device.Įxamining the fw file in AMIBCP Version, I can trace the opened Setup options through the following tree: I have a VOYO V1 mini PC, also known as Vmac mini. Good luck with your board and let me know if I can help. I wonder what they have done and if anyone at the forum could analyse it and make a genuine, AMI EFI that could be flashed to a fresh chip and booted? Interesting what you said about the efi code not being AMI. It seems that VOYO have included some once-only code that can not be read, cleared or replaced using a programmer. We bought and flashed some identical, new chips, but the boards still failed to boot after successfully flashing the same efi that worked on the original chips. Only the original chips can be successfully re-flashed. Luckily I had help from a friend who is an electronics engineer. The proprietary windows software for both of them is quite flaky and needs to be found (I can help you with that), but there is a reliable tool called "flashrom" available for Linux, which gives you better control and debugging information.ĭue to surrounding circuitry, the chip needs to be flashed off-board, which means you need to very carefully unsolder it, without physically damaging the pins, or heat-damaging the chip itself, flash it and carefully resolder. I used a cheap combination of a CH341a programmer and 1.8v adapter, both readily available from ebay. The original w25q64fwsig eprom needs to be reflashed using a 1.8v programmer. There is no software recovery route for these boards. ![]() Hi Imogo, Thanks for your reply here and mail. It would be really fantastic if someone could analyse the bin file from the URL above and see if there is a way to find the magic file name and key combination to load it. 1.45 to find the magic recovery file name, but when I run it against the bin file from the support site, it is not recognised as an AMI bios. The UEFI interface does not come up when I press ESC (the normal key). Apart from this LED, there is no other indication that anything is going on in the system. The "system" (if it can be called that in its current state) can also be turned off again by pressing and holding the power button. There is no onboard beeper and no other LED's apart from the system LED which illuminates as soon as I press the power button. ![]() If I use a USB pen with builtin LED, I notice that the LED starts to flash quickly as soon as it is plugged into the powered USB 3 socket, but the flashing doesn't change at all when I power on the system using the power switch.

Plugging in the USB, pressing HOME to force the system to find the file and waitingģ. I have tried the regular AMI recovery workflow, renaming bin file to AMIBOOT.ROM on a USB stick and:ġ. Within a day I had managed to brick it by trying to flash a "BIOS" upgrade from the Voyo support site: Toshiba Satellite L500 & L505 (with Sock.īased on Apollo Lake 3450 and with AMI /APTIO EFI ("BIOS"). īios Award Gigabyte GA-MA790XT-UD4P prob. ![]() Lenovo Ideapad S510p (89CNxxWW.Īdd/Unlock extra second SATA (msata) por.
