1) Fixed an array overflow which may corrupt the capsule update and UEFI variable service.
2) Fixed serial console failure of debug version image.
3) Fixed some open bugs. 

KNOWN ISSUES

1. Optimization for a fastboot feature continues, therefore the boot time is more than 
2 seconds.
2. Because the binary size created using GCC (Linux environment) is ~20% lager than the size of
the binary created using the Microsoft toolchain (Windows Environment), the firmware build
in the Linux environment (GCC build) uses the minimum shell instead of fullshell, The image
built in the Linux environment (GCC build) may have some limitation for UEFI shell application.

MISCELLANEOUS

1. Virus scanned by McAfee VirusScan Enterprise 8.8.0, Virus Definitions 8176, no virus detected.

Instructions for updating the BIOS image:

1) Copy the "FirmwareUpdateIA32.efi/FirmwareUpdateX64.efi" file to the storage device (Sdcard, Udisk, or Sata)
2) Enter UEFI shell
3) Type the "fsX:" command under UEFI shell where the "fs" portion of the term "fsX" is the term used for your storage device, and the "X" portion of the term "fsX" is replaced by the index identifier of the storage device being used (for example, fs0:). 
4) Type the following command to update BIOS image:  
# FirmwareUpdateX64.efi <TargetIA64BiosImageFileName>  or
# FirmwareUpdateX64.efi <TargetIA32BiosImageFileName>  or 
# FirmwareUpdateIA32.efi <TargetX64BiosImageFileName>  or
# FirmwareUpdateIA32.efi <TargetX32BiosImageFileName>
5) The system will automatically shutdown after the update has completed.

About Firmware:

Applying a newer firmware version than the one already installed on your unit can bring various enhancements, include workarounds for diverse problems encountered by the device, and improve or add newly developed features.

On the other hand, downgrading the firmware version can recover the device’s functionality in the event of a software update either turning up faulty or causing the unit’s overall performance to drop. However, bear in mind that applying an older firmware isn’t recommended and might not always be possible.

When it comes to the update steps, due to the large variety of devices and numerous ways for installing a new firmware, it is recommended that you carefully read and understand the upgrade steps, and consider applying a different firmware only when you have familiarized yourself with the update method.

As the installation process is most of the times quite risky, this step should be taken by users that have the ability to successfully complete the update; regular users may initiate it at their own risk. Moreover, it’s best that this task be performed in a steady power environment such as the one ensured by a UPS unit.

Therefore, if you consider applying this release, hit the download button, take into account all the aforementioned aspects, and update the device’s firmware. Also make sure you constantly check with our website to ensure that you don’t miss a single new release.

  It is highly recommended to always use the most recent driver version available.

Try to set a system restore point before installing a device driver. This will help if you installed an incorrect or mismatched driver. Problems can arise when your hardware device is too old or not supported any longer.
