No mod, just how to extract plain binaries to flash with external programmer

[aletib]

Hi everyone,

I've been reading different threads and learnt a lot. I'll start with a simple question and then give all the details because I've got a certain tendency to speak too much

I want to extract binaries from a Dell update file but when I process it with phoenixtool the output is a 10679K file while the motherboard has two chips:

Code:

Intel (R) Flash Programming Tool. Version:  8.1.51.1476
Copyright (c) 2007 - 2013, Intel Corporation. All rights reserved.

Platform: Intel(R) Patsburg Chipset - Reserved DID 0x1D41
Reading HSFSTS register... Flash Descriptor: Valid

    --- Flash Devices Found ---
    MX25L6405D    ID:0xC22017    Size: 8192KB (65536Kb)
    MX25L1605A    ID:0xC22015    Size: 2048KB (16384Kb)

if I use the usual procedure forcing the update with /s /f, the update utility only does the EC part skipping the three steps before:

-          System BIOS
-          Management Engine Firmware
-          Intel® ME FW Upgrade
-          EC BIOS

forgot to mention: tried to create the .exe file from bios.gz with DCCU but after showing the first page, when I browse to the file and click on create the server looks dead (file too big?)

thanks a lot!
