Custom UEFI and BIOS utilities for Aptio and AMIBIOS simplify development and debugging. AMI`s Aptio firmware offers an easy transition to the Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) specification, giving developers all the benefits of UEFI – modularity, portability, C-based coding – while maintaining easy-to-use tools that make manufacturing easier and increase productivity. AMI`s extended utilities for customizing BIOS ROM images without rebuilding the firmware offer a clear advantage by reducing time and costs. Change Logo allows developers to easily change the logos displayed by Aptio at startup. The full-screen splash logo and small logos displayed on the main screen during POST can be replaced with custom logos. Change Logo can also be used to extract logos from existing Aptio ROM files. Aptio`s Module Management Tool (MMTool) allows developers to manage firmware file modules contained in an Aptio firmware ROM image. Use MMTool to extract, replace, and insert binary components such as modules, option ROMs, microcode patches, and ROM holes through the GUI or command line interface. MMTool also allows developers to generate reports on the contents of an open ROM image. DMIEdit is a scriptable command-line utility for DOS, Microsoft Windows®, Linux, and the UEFI shell. Desktop Management Interface Editor for Aptio allows developers to modify the strings associated with the SMBIOS tables of the platform (system, base board, chassis, OEM chain, etc.).
In manufacturing, use DMIEdit to incorporate platform serial numbers, UUIDs, and license keys into the SMBIOS table that identifies management software platforms. The specification is subject to change without notice. Brand and product names are trademarks of the respective companies. A configuration other than the original product specification is not guaranteed. AMIUCP is a utility used to preconfigure Aptio Flash Utility (AFU). Users can insert and swap the default command string and ROM image used in AFU to create a custom version of the utility. AMIUCP supports AFU v2.35 or AFUWINGUI v1.12 or later. AMISLP allows you to insert Microsoft System Locked Pre-Installation (SLP) key files into the BIOS image. SLP keys are used for OEM activation of Microsoft Windows® 7 and Vista®.
For Windows 8.1 and Windows®® 10, the OEM 3.0 Activation eModule is used in conjunction with AFU v2.35 or later. The AMI BIOS Setup Program (AMIBCP) for Aptio allows clients to change the settings of a BIOS ROM without recreating them from the source. Developers can change the default values of BIOS configuration settings, change the default boot order in the BIOS configuration, view and edit connection and configuration strings, and modify SMBIOS string data.

The UI image above is an example of a reference. The actual user interface may vary depending on the updated version of the software. The AMIRDT utility allows developers to easily dissect a UEFI ROM and generate related reports on the status and size of the ROM.
This powerful tool can scan ROMs up to the section level, dissect NVRAM variables, compare two ROMs, and search for GUIDs of a particular FFS to get a summary of their sizes from the ROM. AMI Firmware Update (AFU) is a scriptable command-line utility for DOS, Microsoft Windows®, Linux, FreeBSD, and uefi shell. AFU is used for factory or field BIOS updates and is flexible enough to update the entire flash part or only a part. It programs the BIOS master image, boot block, or configurable ROM regions of the OEM. AMI support services are subject to your purchase agreement. Please contact your AMI sales representative using the form. AMISDE is a command-line tool for exporting configuration data from an Aptio ROM image, including spreadsheets such as Microsoft Excel®. It generates a useful summary report of BIOS configuration settings and default values that improves productivity during testing and manufacturing. AMISCE is a command-line tool that provides an easy way to update NVRAM variables, extract variables directly from the BIOS, change settings using a text editor or installer, and update the BIOS. AMISCE creates a script file that lists all installation questions on the system to be modified by AMISCE.
The user can then edit the script file and use it as input to modify the current NVRAM configuration variables. AMI offers tailor-made training at customer sites and at AMI offices around the world. The courses are focused on clients` ongoing projects in order to achieve maximum efficiency.
