    ROCK Pi X >  BIOS >  Update BIOS


This page describe how to update the BIOS on ROCK Pi X. First of all, a working BIOS must be flashed to ROCK Pi X's SPI Flash to perform the update. The BIOS update can be done under Windows OS or UEFI shell.

Requirements

Prepare

Before using the update tool to update, we need to complete the following tasks:

  • Unzip the downloaded Bios Flash Tool to the root directory of the USB drive.
  • Unzip the downloaded Bios Image, find the .bin file in the unzipped folder, and copy it to the BIOS_FLASH_TOOL\BIOS_TOOL\ directory of the Bios update tool.

The following will separately explain how to update the BIOS using the update tool in Windows and UEFI shell.

Windows

1. Power on ROCK Pi X 2. After entering the system, plug in the U disk, right-click to run the update tool with administrator privileges. PATH: BIOS_FLASH_TOOL\BIOS_TOOL\FLASHWin64.BAT

ROCK Pi X will restart automatically after the update is complete. update complete

UEFI shell

1. Plugs in the keyboard to ROCK Pi X and power on, keep pressing the del button on the keyboard until it enters the BIOS.

2. After entering the BIOS, use the left and right arrow keys to switch to the "Save & Exit" interface, and then use the up and down arrow keys to select UEFI SHELL and hit enter to enter.

3. The interface after entering UEFI SHELL is as follows:

4. When you first enter the UEFI shell interface, it will output the drive letter of the storage device on ROCK Pi X to the uefi shell interface, enter the corresponding drive letter, and you will be able to access the contents of the storage device. Now you can try to enter disk symbol + colon":" to access disk, like this "fs0:"

Note that whenever the command line reaches the bottom, you need to enter "cls" to clear the screen, otherwise it will be difficult to see the commands you enter in the messy interface.

   Shell> cls
   Shell> fs0:
   fs0:\>
   fs0:\> ls

5. After entering the drive letter where the update tool is located, follow below to run the update tool

   # The drive letter of my U disk is fs3
   fs3:\> cd BIOS_FLASH_TOOL\BIOS_TOOL
   fs3:\BIOS_FLASH_TOOL\BIOS_TOOL> FLASHEFIX64.NSH

The device will shutdown after the flashing completes.

Verify BIOS version

1. Power on ROCK Pi X, keep pressing the del button on the keyboard until it enters the BIOS. 2. After entering the BIOS, use the left and right arrow keys to switch to the "Main" interface.
