Look carefully, there are 2 bios chips (Main and EC)

Do I have to download bios from both chips? I thought only the 4Mb one is suffice.
I think I can download the other bios too. Is it different from the bios with Universal Backup Tool 2.0?

Thanks!
Bios update from site contains EC and Main part, but Universal backup Tool save only Main bios.

I ran the file from windows7 but the its running window size was too small to see what was going on... It didn't leave any file.
What am I doing wrong?

What does this mean? There are two bios chips which are 4Mb and 8Mb. I can dump two bios from Raspberry pi separately.
Do I have to merge them to remove the list?
