* fitlet BIOS is based on American Megatrends Inc. (AMI) BIOS.
* BIOS can be accessed by pressing '''''Del''''' during power up cycle.
* For BIOS reset instructions refer to [[Fitlet Troubleshooting | fitlet troubleshooting]]
== BIOS Menu ==
* '''Core Version''': 4.6.5.4
* '''Compliancy''': UEFI 2.3.1; PI 1.2
* '''BIOS Version''': SBCFLT_0Format SBCFLT_X.08XX.02_7XX_X - useful to check if you have the [[Fitlet: BIOS ROM Files|latest BIOS]] installed
* '''Build Date and Time''': MM/DD/YYYY HH:MM:SS
* '''System Date''': HH:MM:SS
=== Advanced ===
The section provides advanced system features and functionality settings.<br>
<span style="color:#FF0000">Warning: For advanced users only. Setting items in this section to incorrect values may cause system to malfunction.</span>
==== PCI Settings ====
** Last State - based on system state before the failure it will be either On or Off
** Disable - the feature is disabled
* '''APU TDP''': Set processor maximum power consumption (thermal design power). Enter values between 1-25000 [mW], when default value is 4500 [mW]. Higher value means better performance, and hence that may result in higher temperature.
==== TPM Settings ====
Note: TPM module is not assembled by default. The option relevant in high volume orders.<br>
 
Trusted platform module settings:
* '''Security Device Support''': Enables or Disables BIOS support for security device. OS will not show security device. TCG EFI protocol and INT1A interface will not be available.
==== CPU Settings ====
CPU configuration parameters:* '''PSS Support''': TBD Enable or Disable the generation of ACPI _PPC, _PPS and _PCT objects.* '''PSTATE Adjustment''': TBD Provide to adjust start-up P-state level.* '''NX Mode''': TBD Enable or Disable non-execute page protection function.* '''SVM Mode''': TBD Enable or Disable CPU virtualization.* '''C6 Mode''': TBD Enable or Disable C6 state.* '''CPB Mode''': TBD Auto or Disable core performance boost.* '''Core Leveling Mode''': TBDChange the number of Cores in the system.
==== Video Settings ====
* '''Integrated Graphics''': TBD Enable or Disable integrated graphics controller.* '''UMA Frame Buffer Size''': TBD Set frame buffer size (32MB-2GB).* '''Remote Display Feature''': TBD Enable or Disable remote display feature support.* '''HDMI Audio''': TBD Enable or Disable Gnb HD audio support.* '''IOMMU''': TBD Enable or Disable IOMMU support.* '''PSPP Policy''': TBDConfigure PCI Express speed power policy:** Disabled** Performance** Balanced-High** Balanced-Low** Power saving
==== SATA Settings ====
Storage devices interface configuration:* '''OnChip SATA Channel''': TBD Enable or Disable SATA channel for storage devices.* '''OnChip SATA Type''': TBD Set SATA host controller interface type for storage devices communication. * * Native IDE** AHCI** Legacy IDE** AHCI as ID 7804* '''OnChip IDE Mode''': TBD Set old standard IDE mode, either legacy or native.* '''SATA IDE Combined Mode''': TBDEnabled or Disabled IDE combined mode.
==== Memory Settings ====
* '''Memory Clock''': TBD This option allows user to select different memory clock. Can be set to Auto detection or manually selected.* '''Memory Clear''': TBD Memory clear functionality control.
===== Memory Configuration =====
* '''Memory Hole Remapping''': TBD Enable or Disable memory hole remapping.* '''Bank Interleaving''': TBD Enable or Disable bank interleaving.* '''Memory Hole 15MB – 16MB''': TBD Enable or Disable memory hole 15MB-16MB for some ISA expansion cards.* '''Socket Information''': Basic information about memory SO-DIMM used.
==== SDIO Settings ====
SD/SDIO configuration parameters:* '''SDIO Access Mode''': TBD Set SD device access mode:** Auto - Access SD device in DMA mode if controller support it, otherwise in PIO mode.** DMA - Access SD device in DMA mode.** PIO - Access SD device in PIO (programmed input/output) mode.* '''Mass Storage Device Emulation Type''': TBD
==== USB Settings ====
* '''Legacy USB Support''': TBD Enables legacy USB support. Auto option disables legacy support if no USB devices are connected. Disabled option will keep USB devices available only for EFI applications.* '''XHCI Hand-off''': TBD Workaround for OS without XHCI hand-off support. The XHCI ownership change should be claimed by XHCI driver.* '''EHCI Hand-off''': TBD Workaround for OS without EHCI hand-off support. The EHCI ownership change should be claimed by EHCI driver.* '''USB Mass Storage Driver Support''': TBD Enable or Disable USB mass storage driver support.* '''Port 60/64 Emulation''': TBD Enable I/O port 60h/64h emulation support. This option should be enabled for the complete USB keyboard legacy support for non-USB aware operating systems. * '''USB transfer timeout''': TBD Timeout value for control, bulk and interrupt transfers - 1 sec, 5 sec, 10 sec or 20 sec.* '''Device reset timeout''': TBD USB mass storage device start unit command time-out.* '''Device power-up delay''': TBDMaximum time the device will take before it properly reports itself to the Host Controller.** Auto - uses default value: for a root port it is 100 ms, for a hub port the delay is taken from the hub descriptor.
=== Boot ===
* '''Setup Prompt Timeout''': TBD Number of seconds to wait for setup activation key. 65535 (0xFFFF) means indefinite waiting.* '''Bootup Numlock State''': TBDSelect the keyboard NumLock state.* '''Quiet Boot''': TBD Enables or Disables quiet boot option. * '''Fast Boot''': TBD Enables or Disables boot with initialization of a minimal set of devices required to launch active boot option.
