4 Using the Module

4.1 BIOS

The CoreExpress-ECO2 is delivered with a Phoenix-Technology EFI-BIOS. The default setting
guarantees a “ready to run” system, even without a BIOS setup backup battery.

The BIOS is located in a flash prom and can be easily updated on board with software or an SPI -
programming adapter.

All changes in the setup of the BIOS are stored in the CMOS RAM of the real time clock. A copy of
the CMOS RAM excluding date and time data is stored in the flash ROM. This means that even if the
backup battery runs out of power, the CMOS settings are not lost. Only date and time will be set to
their default value.

Configuring the Phoenix BIOS

Pressing the key on power up starts the BIOS setup utility.
