Arbor - Phoenix or Award BIOS Image Request
#1
Hi,

This SBC (Single Board Computer) is made by Arbor comes with 256 MB on-board RAM with empty pads on PCB for upgrade. I added more memory modules to equal 512 MB, but the BIOS is producing continuous long beeps indicating System Memory error. I am told that the BIOS may be hard coded for 256 MB and the address range need to be extended to read 512 MB. Hence my effort to try and do exactly that.

The SBC in question is: http://www.arbor-usa.com/catalog/discont...inued.html

BIOS: The holographic sticker reads "PhoenixBios E686 BIOS". However, the Setup Utility reads "Phoenix - AwardBIOS CMOS Setup Utility". So I am not sure if its Phoenix or Award BIOS.

If I can get a standard version of the BIOS Image, I can try to flash. I also have purchased a simple Flash memory reader and programmer, so I can have access to the Bin file if needed. I will backup using the flash reader, so I am not worried about bricking.

Any guidance/help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Sujith
