How to flash motherboard BIOS using Linux

You've finally made the move to a Free Windows computer, you're enjoying your brand new Linux OS, no trojans or viruses, no slowdown, everything is perfect. Suddenly, you need to update the BIOS on your motherboard to support some new piece of hardware, but typically the motherboard vendor is offering only DOS based BIOS flash utilities. You panic! Fortunately, this problem is easy to solve...

Step 1 : Download FreeDOS boot disk floppy image

FreeDOS, a free DOS-compatible operating system, is up to the challenge, no need for proprietary DOS versions. So, all you need is a bootable floppy disk image with FreeDOS kernel on it. We are fortunate that guys at FDOS site have prepared one suitable for us. Use the OEM Bootdisk version, the one with just kernel and command.com, because it leaves more free space on disk for the flash utility and new BIOS image. You can also find a local copy of this image attached at the end of this article. After you download the image, you need to decompress it. In other words:

wget http://www.fdos.org/bootdisks/autogen/FDOEM.144.gz
gunzip FDOEM.144.gz


Step 2 : Copy your BIOS flash utility and new BIOS image to the mounted floppy disk image

Requirement for this step is that you have support for the vfat and loop file systems in the kernel. Or you can have those features compiled as modules. In the latter case, load the modules before the next step, like this.

modprobe vfat
modprobe loop

Consult /proc/fileystems to see if you have the needed file systems supported. If you do, you should be able to "loop mount" the floppy disk image to some temporary path:

mkdir /tmp/floppy
mount -t vfat -o loop FDOEM.144 /tmp/floppy

If the mount went without errors, copy BIOS flash utility and new BIOS image to the mounted floppy disk image. You'll probably have to unzip the archive you downloaded from your motherboard vendor site, to get to those two files. Here's just an example for my motherboard (in your case, files will have different names, of course):

# unzip 775Dual-VSTA\(2.60\).zip
Archive: 775Dual-VSTA(2.60).zip
  inflating: 75DVSTA2.60
  inflating: ASRflash.exe
# cp 75DVSTA2.60 ASRflash.exe /tmp/floppy

Doublecheck that everything went OK, that those two files weren't too big for the floppy:

Filesystem           1K-blocks      Used Available Use% Mounted on
/tmp/FDOEM.144
                          1424       990       434  70% /tmp/floppy

Finally, unmount the floppy disk image:

umount /tmp/floppy


Step 3 : Burn a bootable CD which will emulate floppy device for us

Next step is to burn the floppy image to a CD/DVD-RW media, but in a way that it can be booted afterwards. First we need to make a bootable CD image, and then burn it. Notice that on some modern distributions, cdrecord is renamed to wodim, and mkisofs to genisoimage, but the parameters below should be the same.

mkisofs -o bootcd.iso -b FDOEM.144 FDOEM.144
cdrecord -v bootcd.iso


Step 4 : Reboot, flash, reboot, and enjoy your new BIOS

Finally reboot your machine, make sure that your CD drive is first in the boot sequence, and then run your BIOS upgrade procedure when the CD boots.

WARNING: Flashing motherboard BIOS is a dangerous activity that can render your motherboard inoperable! While the author of this article has successfully run this procedure many times, your mileage may vary. Be careful!

British Future Train

In the UK the train will appear beautiful, futuristic and aerodynamic to transport travelers to the speed of 225 mph (362 km / h).

With interior design that looks more like a luxury penthouse apartment, a comfortable sofa with soft cushions and ornaments, glass module is equipped with a computer screen, storage space for folding bikes and a full bar, as well as module glass observation deck of a double decker, train future of this very far from the shadow of the train now

New Tory Transport Secretary, Philip Hammond confirmed the promise coalition last week that high-speed rail network will be built on the national rail conference in Liverpool, as quoted by the Daily Mail. I want to repeat this government's commitment to high-speed rail in which lies at the heart of our transport policy, he said.

Leading transportation designer Paul Priestman has created a design of a train called "Mercury" to change the raw technical data into something more tangible that can evoke emotions from passengers who use it.

"The government has committed to provide high-speed rail service. The design is turning a dream into reality and be inspired," he said.

Priestman said the trains along the 400-meter Mercury will have an extension of the front face of the most extreme trains in the world, "It's very important for aerodynamic train that will travel at 225mph, he said.

In the Mercury train that has a contemporary design and flexible, there is a plan to combine the facilities of films, music and games as an entertainment system. Train the future of this offer luxurious first-class lounge and bar which has to reflect the difference in class is offered to tourists.

There is also a private area for families, private parties or business meetings and children's playground.
"In England, the design of this train will be one of the most powerful weapon in the battle to persuade people that want to leave their cars at home and offer their first choice of the train, says Priestman.

New train speed 250 mph at a cost of more than 30 trillion pounds is promising to cut journey times between London Euston and Birmingham with just 49 minutes, from 1 hour 24 minutes today. This project started in 2017 and is expected to be completed in 2025.
