uEFI BIOS
The integrated COMExpress ® module (COMe-bHL6) integrated in the KBox C-101 is equipped with Phoenix SecureCore,
which is located in an onboard SPI serial flash memory. The uEFI (Unified Extensible Firmware Interface)/BIOS is set at
the factory, corresponding to the system’s standard hardware configuration and for normal operating conditions.
Therefore there is no need to set or change the BIOS environment to operate your system.
A detailed BIOS description can be found in the manual of the installed COMExpress ® module. You can
download the corresponding manual from our web site www.kontron.com by selecting the product
name.
The Kontron uEFI BIOS features a built-in and enhanced version of the uEFI Shell. For a detailed description of the
available standard shell scripting refer to the EFI Shell User’s Guide. For a detailed description of the available standard
shell commands, refer to the EFI Shell Command Manual. Both documents can be downloaded from the EFI and
Framework Open Source Community homepage (
http://sourceforge.net/projects/efi-shell/files/documents/ ).
Please note that not all shell commands described in the EFI Shell Command Manual are provided by the
Kontron uEFI BIOS.
